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 or transaction.
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.

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.
