1	If a client has some sites using smart scales and some sites without smart scales, but the client users still want to log waste data using H5 at the sites without smart scales, what should I do?	​With "Smart scale" function be activated, you can add log either manually or through smart scale. For those sites without smart scale, you can just add the log manually.
2	Waste categories and types are configured at the client level. Do I need to manually select the applicable waste categories and types for each site?	No, it is not necessary. When adding a new waste type at the client level, it is selected by default at all sites. Only when a site determines that a certain waste type is not applicable, it needs to be unselected.
3	Do I need to reconfigure waste categories and types when deploying a new site?	No, when a site is initialized, all waste types and corresponding categories under that customer will be selected by default. The site only needs to deselect a waste type if it is not required.
4	The waste module does not have the carbon emission factor setting function now. How can I see the carbon emissions related to waste?	Currently, all carbon emission calculation functions are implemented in the carbon emissions management module. If you need to calculate the carbon emissions related to waste, you need to enable the corresponding function in the carbon emission management module, associate the waste types with the activity types when setting up at the client level, and configure the corresponding emission factors. The system will automatically calculate the carbon emissions based on the amount of waste generated by each site.​
