Shop'NCook uses a color code to indicate when an ingredient has a problem that prevents it from being added to the nutrition and cost calculation. The different colors require different actions to fix the problem.
The color code is as follows:
Red | Meaning | The ingredient is not linked to a grocery item. |
Action | Click on the magic wand and link it to the database manually or add it. | Blue | Meaning | The ingredient quantity is not specified or the software does not know how to convert the unit. |
Action | If the quantity is missing, edit the recipe and input a quantity for the ingredient. Otherwise, click on the magic wand and input the necessary unit conversion information. | Green | Meaning | Nutrition tab: the nutritional information is missing; Costing tab: the cost information is missing. |
Action | Click on the magic wand to be taken to the nutritional information editor or to the cost information dialog to input the missing information. |
