🛠️Setup Instructions
Without guidance from a PathSpot support member, we recommend disabling Advanced Shift Scheduling when setting goals (as seen in the video below).
This will allow you to set daily goals using a simple calculation:
Expected handwashes per person × total working hours per day 🧼✋
In the example shown in the image below, the brand expects one handwash every 1 hour ⏱️, and the total number of working hours per day is 80.
This could represent 8 employees working 8 hours per day, Monday–Friday 🗓️. Think of total working hours as the combined hours worked by all employees for that day.
- Note that putting 0.5 hours in the handwashes per hour field would equate to 30 minutes
You can deselect certain days ❌ and create unique target goals and time thresholds as needed.
Reporting: All handwashing events, regardless of timing—are stored in your PathSpot dashboard 📊. However, only handwashes that occur within the time frame set on your Goals page will appear in the daily on-screen tracker and in your daily and weekly reporting 📈.
When finished, click Save in the top left corner of the screen 💾.
The save function lets you apply your goals to an individual location, a location group (multiple stores), or individual departments, as shown in the image below
