Step 2: Enter your vessels into the system

Every juice/wine lot created in InnoVint can be filled into vessels. These vessels are tracked in your lot details page and in the Vessel Explorer.

This article covers:

• Adding tanks, bins, drums, kegs, and carboys
• Adding barrels
• Adding tirage bins (when sparkling is activated) 
• Importing Vessels via a CSV file

To begin, go to the navigation bar on the left side of the page. Click on the vessels icon and then +Add Vessels in the top right.

Adding tanks, bins, drums, kegs, and carboys

Start by entering in your tanks and any other type of vessel you track - stainless drums, bins, kegs, and carboys, with the exception of oak barrels.

1. Click on the icon for the type of vessel you'd like to add.
2. In the Vessel Codes bar, type in the code for each vessel separated by a comma or a space. Accepted characters include A-Z (all capital letters), 0-9, dash (-), and underscore (_).
3. Next, type in the capacity for that particular group of vessels.
4. Finally, add any relevant tags, then click on in the bottom right corner.

Adding barrels

   • Wood/Forest does include wood origin headers of N/A, French oak, American oak, European oak, CBY, Hungarian oak, and French oak/Acacia. Both wood and forest are individual filters in the Vessel Explorer.
