reorder parts flagging

Reorder Parts Flagging in Antero: Auto-Identify Stockouts Before They Happen

Set minimum and maximum quantities for each part in Antero. When inventory drops below minimum, the part gets flagged red and appears in the reorder list, so you can create purchase orders before running out.

work order review process

Work Order Review Process in Antero: Move to Review vs Move to History

Antero's work order review process lets operators mark work complete (move to review) while supervisors verify accuracy before finalizing (move to history). Catch errors early and ensure data quality before work orders affect inventory and reports.
column order to bench sheets

Match DataView Column Order to Bench Sheets for Faster Operator10 Data Entry

Operators enter data faster when the DataView column order matches their bench sheet. Drag columns in Operator10 to rearrange them so influent, basins, and effluent flow in the same sequence as your paper or mobile forms.

remove summaries dataviews

Remove Summaries from Data Entry DataViews in Operator10 for Clean Screens

Operators entering data don't need summary rows showing weekly totals or averages. Remove summaries from data entry DataViews in Operator10 to reduce visual clutter and keep the focus on entering values, not reviewing statistics.
work template intervals

Work Template Intervals Antero: Days in Service v Instrument Readings

Antero work template intervals can trigger on calendar days OR equipment meter readings like hours or miles. Set up PM schedules that say "30 days OR 3,000 miles, whichever comes first"—just like an oil change reminder.
