The other details of the sensor, such as battery level and last recorded temperature are also shown on this screen.
Importing Fridge-tags
If you are using Berlinger Fridge-tags, you can import the data directly into Open mSupply. To do this, insert the USB of the Fridge-tag into your computer.
Then click the Import Fridge-tag button:
This will open a file browsing window, allowing you to select the .txt file of the Fridge-tag data. Simply click on the file and wait for the import to complete.
Be patient! The import may take some time if you have a lot of data to import. Note that currently, any breaches recorded will not be imported / associated with the sensor.
