Objective

This article covers the Receptors tab on the Edit Site page in EnviroAutomate. This tab allows you to select which receptors apply to the site, which is used in environmental risk assessments and determines which investigation levels are relevant.

Prerequisites

  • Receptors and receptor groups must be configured in the system (under Scientific Settings)

What This Tab Shows

The Receptors tab displays an accordion layout organised by sampling matrix (e.g., Soil, Fresh Water). Within each matrix, receptors are grouped into receptor groups and subgroups. Each receptor has a checkbox and a colour indicator dot.

Key Actions

  • Select receptors - Check the boxes next to the receptors that apply to this site

  • Deselect receptors - Uncheck boxes to remove receptors from the site

  • Expand/Collapse All - Use the button at the top to expand or collapse all accordion sections at once

  • Save - Click "Save" to apply your receptor selections

Understanding the Layout

  • Accordion sections are organised by Matrix, then by Receptor Group, then by Subgroup

  • Each accordion header shows a badge with the count of selected receptors in that group

  • Colour indicator dots next to each receptor match the colours used in investigation level tables and reports

Cautionary Notes

  • Remember to click "Save" after making changes to your receptor selections

  • Changing receptor selections will affect which investigation levels are displayed on the Investigation Levels tab

Tips for Efficiency

  • Use the "Expand All" button to see all available receptors at once, then selectively check the ones that apply

  • Check the badge counts on collapsed sections to quickly see how many receptors are selected in each group without expanding
