About Products
Setup > Products allows you to create a list of products that will be used on fields when you record jobs. Product information can be added prior to entering the job, in the Setup module, or while creating a job.
When viewing your product list from Setup > Products, you can search the list in the following ways:
To filter the product list
Select the ‘Filter by’ selector in the top right hand corner of the screen.
Select the product type to filter by – for example, ‘Fertiliser’.
Only fertiliser products will be shown in the list after the filter is selected.
To search the product list
Type into the search bar in the top right hand corner
Enter the product name, or a part of it
Take care not to have a product type specified in the ‘Filter By’ option, or you may find that some products are hidden.
Product details
When adding a product into your businesses’ list, you will have the opportunity to set a default rate. If this option is used, the product will display the default rate when selected for any jobs. You can edit the rate from the default rate if required.
Adding a pesticide product (click here to watch a short video)
Pesticide products are selected from our pesticide database. This enables us to provide information such as active ingredient and MAPP number.
From the Setup module:
1. Select the Products icon
2. Select + New Product button
3. Select Pesticide. The ‘Add Pesticide from Sentinel’ pane will open
4. Start typing in the text bar to search for the product you wish to add (on the line that reads Filter Text)
5. When the list below the ‘filter text’ bar populates with product options, select the product you wish to add. You will note the product is now highlighted and the add symbol has now changed to a minus symbol
6. If no product name appears, make sure the ‘Filter by’ drop down is set to ‘All Pesticides’ N.B. Take care to make sure the correct MAPP number has been selected along with the correct product name
7. Click the tick and in the new drawer that opens
8. Enter a default rate for this product – this is optional. A product with a default rate will display this rate any time it is selected into a job, although it also can be edited in the job if required.
9. Enter a unit price. For Gatekeeper Standard customers, this unit price is the cost that will be allocated to fields when this product is used. For Advanced customers, the price entered will only be used until an average unit price can be calculated from the trading information entered.
To edit pesticide products
Only the information that is manually entered can be edited. The information that is pre populated from our pesticide list cannot be edited. Manually entered details can be edited by selecting the required product from within the Product module and updating the relevant information before saving. If the wrong product has been setup you will need to delete it and add the correct product.
Adding a non-pesticide product
This method is used to add any other product used on a field that isn’t a registered plant protection product – for example, trace elements, fertilisers or seed.
From the Setup module:
1. Select the Products icon
2. Select the + New Product button
3. Select Other and in the ‘New Product’ pane:
Enter a Product Name
Select a Product Type
Select a Unit Type
Select a Unit
For organic manure product types only: select a manure type
Enter a Default Rate if required
4. Click the tick to save
In the new drawer that opens:
5. Enter a default rate for this product – this is optional. A product with a default rate will display this rate any time it is selected into a job, although it can also be edited in the job if required.
6. Enter a unit price. For Gatekeeper Standard customers, this unit price is the cost that will be allocated to fields when this product is used. For Advanced and Premium customers, the price entered will only be used until an average unit price can be calculated from the trading information entered.
7. For fertiliser products and organic manures:
Select the Nutrients section
Select nutrients in your fertiliser product from the list on the left

Other Products can be edited at any time. To do this, select the required record from within the Products module and update the relevant information before saving.

To search for a specific product in your list, type all or part of the products name next to the magnifier icon in the top right hand corner.
To view multiple products of a type, select an option from the ‘Filter By’ list next to the search bar – for example, fertiliser.

Product Pricing
As you add a new product into your list, you have the option to enter a unit price. This function will work differently depending on which Gatekeeper subscription you have.
Gatekeeper Standard users only: the price entered will be the price used for this product across the current season. You can edit this price at any point.
Gatekeeper Advanced users only: the price entered will be the price used for this product across the current season, unless you add any trading information for this product. In that case, the unit price entered will be replaced by the average unit price calculated from the trades entered. You cannot directly edit an average unit price. For more information, see Stock product pricing.
Gatekeeper Advanced users only: you can enter a separate price per business as required. The price entered will be the price used for this product across the current season, unless you add any trading information for this product. In that case, the unit price entered will be replaced by the average unit price calculated from the trades entered. You cannot directly edit an average unit price. For more information, see Stock product pricing.
