Major updates to "add chemicals" process in app

  • "Add Chemicals" workflow is now an item on the work in progress screen instead of being forced immediately after readings screen

  • Techs can view the new chem reading/dosing history graph from the improved Add Chemicals screen - view readings, chems added and dates for any time period up to a year quickly and easily by just dragging your finger across the graph

  • Auto-dosing recommendations are now provided immediately after calculating a new gallonage

  • A "CONFIRM" button has been added for techs to confirm they've either added chems or won't be adding chems - This can be done at any time before moving past the work in progress screen but must be completed before moving on
