Initial Priorities
Overview
Now that you have setup an account at stockmanager.co.nz, installed the StockManager Android app on your tablet and registered the tablet to a Farm, there are a few items that you need to customize for your farm before you start collecting animal data.
Add Health Treatments
For specific health treatments to be available to add to Animal or Non-ID Group records, they must first be added to the application using the Health Treatment screen. Simply locate all current health treatments, select the Health Treatment screen, select the ADD HEALTH TREATMENT button and follow the on screen guide to add the details of each. Then select the 3 dots at the end of the Health Treatment row and select Add Purchase to add specific purchase details for the Health Treatment (i.e. batch #, expiry date and quantity)
Once this step is completed, all health treatments added will be displayed as available values when adding health treatments. Click here for support documentation on adding health treatments.
Add Groups
For specific Groups to be available in the application, they must first be added to the application using the Group Settings screen. Simply select the Group Settings screen, select the ADD GROUP button and follow the on screen guide to add the details of each.

Edit Data Elements
To simplify the number of data elements and available values in the application, the Data Element Settings screen provides the ability to disable those that don't apply to your farm. Simply select the Data Elements Settings screen, review the list of data elements and available values and deselect any that don't apply to your farm.
