Vessel status icons allow you to have a quick and efficient visual prompt for your team when they view the production dashboard. These visuals can represent anything you would like them to, enabling you to display any status changes and leave an automatic log on the fermentation analysis, for example, when the beer is chilling.
Creating a vessel status icon
You can find the Breww pre-set vessel status icons by heading to Settings → Production settings → Vessel statuses, and you will be able to create your own by selecting New vessel status. You will then be able to give this status icon a title, choose when this status can be set and whether the status should cleared when the vessel is emptied.
You can then choose an icon from the catalogue of icons to represent your vessel status and select a colour for your icon.
As an example, I will create a vessel status of ‘Ready to Transfer’ using the following icon. 
Setting the vessel status on a vessel
Once you have created your vessel icons, you can add these to your vessels. You can add a status icon in two ways:
- By selecting to view a batch
- By selecting to view the vessel
These can then simply be toggled to turn them on or off using the slider that will now be available on your batch or on the vessel
Once turned on, this will display next to the vessel on the production dashboard, giving a clear indication as to which batch in vessel needs to be transferred. It will also leave an observation note on the Analysis tab on a batch on the fermentation log. For more on the batch analysis tab, please see our Logging your fermentation in the Analysis tab help guide.
