Adaco: Recipe List by Category/Subcategory

Lee Grisham
What is the best report to use to show a listing of all your recipes in a selected category? I've tried the Recipe Summary Analysis, but it groups everything into "Multiple Categories" instead of each of their Subcategories. See the attached.   Should we only use one subcategory for each Recipe? I don't see any other options for modifying the report criteria that would fix this.   My goal is to be able to run a report that would show all dishes available for our banquet menu in each of the settings that they have, lunch buffet, lunch plated, dinner plated, etc.   Thanks,   Lee

Good afternoon {@005D000000AEQ9rIAH}​,

Thank you for your query.

 

The Recipe Summary Analysis is the standard Report for viewing Recipes by Category/SubCategory but I do understand your challenge based on the design of the output when dealing with multiple-Category/SubCategory Recipes; there are also Advanced Options filters within Recipe Center but they are per Category as opposed to per SubCategory & simply as view-only as opposed to output as a Report.

 

We do recommend, as in your case, to muti-associate Recipes so it is easier to look up & generically report ensuring all Recipes are included, as well as organize the Categories/SubCategories to cross-utilize meal periods, courses, cuisines, etc. within different venues; otherwise, there would need to be all separate Category/SubCategory groupings as well as potentially duplicate Recipes per venue, etc.

 

All of that being said, either requested modifications to the output of the existing Report or a bespoke Custom Report (both proceeded via your Project Manager/Implementation Consultant) would be the only ways to proceed, aside of re-categorizing all current Recipes understanding the known drawbacks to that approach.

 

Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions around this topic.
