The following updates to WERCSmart are available as of the beginning of business June 9, 2021: 


BUG FIXES

Several customer-reported issues were addressed in this release.

•    Obsoleting of various product registrations from accounts.

•    Edit UPC action not available for completed registration.

•    Kit registrations are no longer able to include the Kit itself in the registration.



WHAT’S COMING IN 2021

Suspended Registration Reminders


In our hectic schedules, by early morning our “to-do” lists have gone by the wayside. Many times, the daily list will include follow-up and completion of items that may be suspended during the assessment process. Over time, we tend to forget about them as our daily priorities shift.


UL will be supplying email reminders and more filters on the Home Page My Product table to further help you in managing your workload. Reminders for outstanding suspended registrations will be provided at time of suspension, 60, 90, and 100 Days.


When a suspension reaches 120 days without any updates or resubmissions, the product registration will automatically be archived and cannot be reinstated. Within the My Products table, when a registration is suspended, there will be an option to extend the suspension time to reduce instances of automatic archiving of the registration as we all know sometimes there are internal dependencies to getting information that are outside of our control.



State Pesticide Data


State Pesticide registration data will be streamlined to improve usability of this area. The revision will include:

•    Selection of State Status

  • Registered 

    • The product is registered in the specific state

    • State Expiration Date entry is required   


  •  Restricted / Not Registered

    • The State does not allow the sale of the product (restricted; or

    • The product is chosen by the account not to be registered in the specific state

    • No Expiration Date entry will be needed as there is a default of Not Applicable 

  • No State Registration Required

    • The State does not require registration of this product type per their own State regulations

    • No Expiration Date will be needed as the default will be Not Applicable


  • Pending State Registration

    • The State registration has been submitted but the finalization is not yet determined by the State regulatory agency

    • No Expiration Date will be needed until such time the selection is changed to "Registered"


State Registration Numbers will no longer be collected for each individual state


 Bulk updating of State Registration dates will be available when the registration is set to expire within 90 days

 or less, using a “revise all dates” option within the individual product registration.

  


   

WHAT’S PLANNED FOR 2022


Home Page Revisions


We will be revising the Home Page to include contact information for our Agency customers, contact for

General Support, as well as “at a glance” subscription statuses. Removal of the Product Information graphic is being removed as this was not an actionable area.


In addition, the filter specific to Canceled registrations has been moved to the “More Filters” area.

Auto-Recertification Preview


WERCSmart account holders will be able to view any possible auto-recertification implications on their existing registrations before it is critical to forward the registration to a new retailer or edit the UPCs on the registration.
