Option to customize the actions when a process in
Time & Temperature
fails. What is it?
In
Time & temperature
, each food handling process can be customized to require certain steps to take place when a process fails. Why does it matter?
Depending on the food and process, a kitchen manager may want certain actions taken when a food handling process fails. For example, if a soup isn't cooled below 70° F in under 2 hours, there could be an option to reheat the soup and try it again. Other foods may need to be discarded if the cooling processes doesn't complete successfully.
How does it work?
To customize the final actions for a failed process, take the following steps:
- A location website admin or above can log onto the Jolt Web Portaland navigate toLists | Time and Temperature.
- Select the process you want to modify and click on the Optionstab.
- At the bottom, click on the link that says Edit final actionsto open the failed process template.
- You can add and remove items to match the process you want your staff to take for a failed process.
- Save your changes.
When the process you change fails on the app, you will see the items on the final action list that must be completed to finish the process.
These items also display in reporting so you have a record of the steps taken for the failed process.
Note: This feature does not work with conditionally displayed items yet. That will be coming in the near future.

Lists
Conditional Display on Multiple Choice Items
The option to condition the display a list item on the answer to a multiple choice answer.
What is it?
You can now see multiple choice items in the conditional display dropdown box on a list. This feature will be available in 5.42.x or later after a short beta test period.
Why does it matter?
This feature expands the usefulness of conditional display to help keep your lists simple for end users by allowing you to hide items that only need to show if a previous item is answered in a certain way.
How does it work?
Let's say you have a multiple choice item with possible answers of Pass, Caution, and Fail.
Additionally, you have another item that only needs to be completed if the answer to the multiple choice item is "Fail". You can now select the multiple choice item in the conditional display dropdown and specify "Fail" as the answer to trigger the display of the other item.
With this feature it is also possible to have multiple conditions that can be satisfied to display an item. You can just click the
Add Condition
button to add more conditions. Keep in mind that when you have multiple conditions, the conditional display item will display if ANY of the conditions are true. Highlights

Formula item enhancements
- The functionality of the formula item has been expanded in app version 5.41.4 to support:- Allow DateandDate/Timeitems to be used in formulas.
- Control the output format of the formula result.
- Support for text formula results.
You can select a
Date
or Date/Time
item type as a variable in a formula. When you do this, make sure the output format is set to Date.Once
Mobile App Version
5.41.4
is available to all devices, the option will go into beta and then be generally available about 2 weeks later. Formula Output Selector
When you are adding time to a date, use unix time to perform the calculation.
You can also include text results as part of your formula. For example, the formula [= A + B > 10, “YES”, “NO”] would show YES on the app if the formula result is greater than 10 and NO if the formula results was less than 10.
Reports
New calculation option for Probe report
- A setting has been added to the Probe Report
to include measurement
items where the probe is not required. Previously, the probe percentage on the report was computed as follows:>
[# of measurements taken with a probe] / [# of items where probe is required]
Measurement
items where probe is not required (other input methods are allowed) were excluded from the percentage. That calculation is still the default calculation so nothing changes for existing users. The new calculation takes effect after you save the report and change the setting to include items where probe is not required.
>
[# of measurements taken with a probe] / [# of measurement items]
To change the setting on the probe report, take the following steps:
- On the Jolt Web Portal, navigate toReporting | Probe Report
- Set your filters as desire and Save As New Report.
- Click the More Optionsbutton and selectSettings.

Availability Exceptions
- When employees have irregular repeating patterns in their availability they can use the availability exceptions feature. Eg. unavailable every other week
- This allows users to communicate their complete availability effectively so that managers can avoid creating scheduling conflicts.

Sensors
Gateway Connections Page
- The “Gateway Signals” page has been renamed to Gateway Connectionsand is now more discoverable. Navigation:Web Portal Menu>Sensors>Gateways>Gateway Connections
- A line graph has been overlaid to show the Connectivity %. The connectivity % (# of sensor readings received/readings expected) helps you spot sensors that may have a good average signal (SNR) but still have connectivity issues. It also lets you see how sometimes a sensor with a poor average signal can still have good connectivity
Sensor Placement Map
- You can now click and drag any device on the map to reposition it.
- A new lock icon on the top right controls whether or not you can move devices on the map.
- When the icon is locked you cannot move any devices, which prevents user error from unintentional clicks
Sensor Reports - Sensor Configurations Report & Readings
- The “Reports” Tab has been renamed to “Readings”. It’s primary purpose is to show actual sensor reading values (temp/humidity). Good for Food Safety Audits
- A new Sensor Configurationstab has been added which is where you can see the signal strength, battery leve, and FW version. This page is more useful for troubleshooting sensor issues. More troubleshooting tools will be added to this page soon.
