The Product Management Widget is the heart of SmartBar and ensuring its accurate reflection of your bar will also ensure you receive accurate data.
The Current Draft List is a digital reflection of your draft line up and thus, needs to be identical to what's being poured at your bar (from left to right). When products aren't updated or lines are mismatched, then you will receive inaccurate data.
To maintain the accuracy of your draft lineup on SmartBar, you can use the following functions:
-
Change Line Number
Can help make easy changes to products on the current line up that are not assigned to the correct line number. To change a draft's line number, simply click on the product and in the manage line window, click change line number.
-
Change Brand
To completely swap out one brand for another and provide information about the product such as keg size, keg cost, store contact, and choose/add a Distributor
Click on the brand you need to change then click Change Brand in the Manage Line window. Use the search bar to look up the desired brand.

Upcoming Draft List / On Deck
Two separate functions but with a similar purpose, Upcoming Draft List and On Deck help users load in future brands then when ready, push them into Current Draft List.
For additional help mapping lines, you can conduct a pour test which will signify your meters are working and the products reflected in SmartBar are correct for what is being poured.
Most functions listed above can also be achieved on SmartBar Mobile. However you maintain your lines, desktop or mobile, the most important thing is that it is done correctly thus giving you the best SmartBar experience!
