Log a CCP check from the floor

Open Food Safety, then Monitoring, pick batch-linked or standalone, enter the reading, and save. The record is locked once saved.

You can log a check two ways: from the Monitoring page, or inline on a batch's packaging screen.

From the Monitoring page

  1. Open Food Safety, then Monitoring.
  2. Choose Batch-Linked Log Entry if the check belongs to a batch, or Standalone Log Entry for checks like cooler temperature.
  3. For a batch-linked entry, pick the Batch. The list shows batches from the last 30 days.
  4. Pick the Critical Control Point. Its critical limit shows under the field.
  5. Enter the Measured Value for numeric checks, or set the Result for pass/fail checks.
  6. The Date / Time Monitored is pre-filled with now. Adjust it if you are logging late. Future times are rejected.
  7. Add notes if needed. You can attach up to 5 photos of the instrument under Instrument photo.
  8. Click Save Monitoring Record.

From the packaging screen

The packaging page has a Critical Control Points panel that lists the product's CCPs with a counter like "2/3 recorded". Enter the value in the row and click Save. The reading is recorded at the current time. Use Take photo in the row to attach a photo of the instrument before you save. This works the same in simple and advanced mode.

If the CCP is your account's batch pH sync CCP, a pH you save in this panel also becomes the batch's Batch pH, and a later retest replaces it. A Batch pH you typed yourself is not changed. This only happens for product types that track pH, and for readings below 10.

For numeric CCPs, FourFoxes compares your measured value to the critical limit and sets Pass or Fail itself. You cannot pass a reading that is out of limit. If a check was skipped, tick Not performed in the packaging panel, or choose N/A Not Performed as the Result on the form, and say why in the notes. A reason is required.

Log a missed check late, or acknowledge it

When a scheduled check comes due and nobody logs it, the Today dashboard shows it as missed. Tap the missed item. Its logging form opens with the CCP, and the batch if there is one, already picked, under a red This check was missed box.

  • If the check was done but not logged, fill in the form and save it with the real time.
  • If it was not done, type the reason in Why was this check missed? and click Acknowledge miss. The reason is required.

An acknowledged miss leaves the Needs attention list. It stays, muted, in its section of the Today dashboard with who acknowledged it, when, and why. The HACCP logs list it as Missed (acknowledged), with the reason in the corrective actions column. An acknowledgment cannot be edited or deleted.

Review what was logged

Click View All Records on the Monitoring page to see every record, newest first. Filter by CCP and by date with From and To.

Every role, Production Team included, can log checks and acknowledge misses. Each record and acknowledgment names the person who made it.

Records are permanent

A monitoring record cannot be edited or deleted after you save it. Check the value before saving. If you make a mistake, log a new record and explain in its notes.
