Expiring
Labels → Expiring lists everything currently labelled at that outlet, sorted by how little life is left. Each row carries a meter showing the proportion of its own life remaining.
The meter turns amber in the last quarter of that item's own window, capped at three days. Windows here run from twelve hours to a month, so a flat "warn under 24 hours" would make every same-day prep item amber the moment it was printed — the warning has to be proportional to the item to mean anything.
Walk this screen before service. It is the difference between finding out at 7pm and finding out at 11am.
The print log
Every label ever printed, with the item, the storage state, the prepared time, the use-by, who printed it and from which printer. Filter by date, outlet, item or person.
Two things it is for:
- An audit. An inspector asking to see your date-labelling records gets a filtered, dated, named list rather than a shoebox.
- An investigation. When something goes wrong, the log says exactly what was labelled, when, and by whom.
Labels flagged as manually dated stand out here — they are the ones where no rule was found and a human typed the date, and a lot of them means a gap in your rules worth closing.
Still stuck?
Every screen in Servora has the same shape — a filter strip, a table, and the actions on the right. If a guide is missing or out of date, tell your account manager and it gets fixed in the manual, not just in an email.
