How do I create a new site?

To create a new site, look for the “New Site” or “+” icon button in the Sites view. Clicking this will display a form where you can enter the site’s basic data and environmental risk factors.

  1. Click the “New Site” button (usually found at the top of the list or as a floating action button).
  2. Fill in the “Site Name” and “Description” fields.
  3. Enter the “Company Information” (Company Name, Address) if this is your first site or if you want to provide different details.
  4. Evaluate the “Environmental Risks” (water sources, green areas, neighbors, waste management) on a scale of 1 to 3.
  5. Specify “Seasonal Factors,” “General Environmental Measures,” and “General Environmental Notes.”
  6. Click the “Save Site” button.

Professional Tip: Accurate site description and thorough assessment of environmental risks are crucial for developing an effective pest prevention strategy. The more detailed information you provide, the more accurate your risk assessment and targeted action plan will be.

What data can I record for a site?

For a site, you can record the following main data groups:

  • Basic Data: Site name, detailed description.
  • Company Information (optional, if different from primary settings): Company name, address. This data may appear on reports.
  • Environmental Risk Factors:
    • Risk of nearby water sources (on a 1-3 scale).
    • Risk of surrounding green areas (on a 1-3 scale).
    • Risk of neighboring facilities (on a 1-3 scale).
    • Risk of surrounding waste management (on a 1-3 scale).
    • “Overall Environmental Risk” automatically calculated based on these.
  • Environmental Specifics:
    • Seasonal factors (e.g., spring rodent activity, summer fly proliferation).
    • General environmental measures (existing or planned general preventive steps at the site level).
    • General environmental notes (other environmentally relevant information from a pest perspective).

This data helps in understanding the site’s general pest risk profile and provides a basis for more detailed assessment of locations.

How does the site’s environmental risk assessment work?

When assessing a site’s environmental risk, you need to consider four main factors, evaluating each on a scale of 1 to 3, where 1 represents low risk and 3 represents high risk:

  1. Risk of nearby water sources: How close are stagnant waters, rivers, canals that might attract pests (e.g., rodents, mosquitoes).
  2. Risk of surrounding green areas: How dense is the vegetation, are there neglected, overgrown areas around the site that could provide shelter and food sources.
  3. Risk of neighboring facilities: What activities are carried out on adjacent plots (e.g., food industry, animal husbandry, landfill) that could increase pest pressure.
  4. Risk of surrounding waste management: What is the state of waste storage and management in the immediate vicinity of the site, how hygienic is it, does it attract pests.

The system automatically calculates the “Overall Environmental Risk” from the average of these four values (rounded to one decimal place). This value helps to get a comprehensive picture of the general pest threat arising from the site’s external environment.

Professional Tip: Be objective during the assessment. If unsure, it’s better to assign a slightly higher risk value to be better prepared when planning preventive measures.

What happens if I delete a site?

Deleting a site is an irreversible action that can lead to significant data loss. Before deleting a site, please consider the following:

  • Deleting a site will automatically delete all locations associated with that site.
  • Deleting the locations associated with the site will automatically delete all risk assessments recorded for those locations.
  • Deleted data (site, locations, assessments) cannot be recovered from the system later.

Before deletion, the system will ask for confirmation to ensure you want to delete the site and all its related data.

Important: Only delete a site if you are absolutely sure that you no longer need the site and its associated data.

How can I view a summary of my sites?

At the top of the “Sites” view, there is usually a collapsible panel named “Site Summary” (or similar). This panel provides comprehensive statistics for all your recorded sites.

The summary typically includes the following data:

  • Number of Sites: The total count of all created sites.
  • Total Locations: The total count of all locations within all sites.
  • Total Assessments: The total count of all risk assessments performed at all locations.
  • Locations by Risk Category: Shows how many locations fall into “Low,” “Medium,” and “High” risk categories.
  • Assessments by Risk Level: Shows how many assessments fall into different risk levels (e.g., Level 1, 2, 3, 4).

This summary view helps to quickly understand the overall pest risk situation across managed areas.

Is there a limit to how many sites I can create?

Yes: 50 sites can be created per user.

If you reach this limit, the system will not allow you to create new sites until you delete an existing one.

The system usually provides information about the current limit and the number of sites already created, or warns you when the limit is reached.

How can I modify the data of an existing site?

To modify the data of an existing site, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the “Sites” view.
  2. Find the site you want to modify in the list (card or table view).
  3. Click the “Edit” icon associated with the site (usually a pencil icon).
  4. The site form will appear, filled with the site’s current data.
  5. Make the desired changes to the site’s name, description, company information, environmental risks, or other related data.
  6. Once you have finished making changes, click the “Save Changes” (or similar) button.

The system will save the updated data and provide feedback on successful saving.

What does the “Site Summary” panel in the Sites view contain?

The “Site Summary” collapsible panel at the top of the “Sites” view provides an overview of pest risk and related statistics for all sites you manage. This helps to assess the situation of the entire portfolio at a glance.

The panel typically summarizes the following information:

  • Number of Sites: The total count of all your recorded sites.
  • Total Locations: The total number of unique locations within all your sites.
  • Total Assessments: The total number of risk assessments conducted across all locations at all times.
  • Locations by Risk Category: A graphical or textual breakdown of how locations are distributed among “Low,” “Medium,” and “High” risk categories. This helps identify areas requiring more attention.
  • Assessments by Risk Level: A breakdown of what proportion of recorded assessments fall into different risk levels (e.g., Level 1, 2, 3, 4). This gives an idea of the severity of current risks.

This summary view is an excellent starting point for prioritizing and efficiently allocating pest management resources.
