Data Entry Methods
Overview
Making effective, objective breeding, feeding and sale decisions requires accurate, up to date data on animals but the process of collecting it can be cumbersome without the right tools. To address this, we have developed a variety of ways to quickly and accurately collect data based on the scenarios you commonly encounter on your farm.
Animal / Non-ID Group (Individual Entry)
This screen enables you to quickly lookup and review the historical record of an individual animal or Non-ID Group and add data to it. Also, if the tag details you enter for an individual animal are not found, it will enable you to create a new animal based on this data in one step..
Filtered Animal List (Common Entry)
This screen enables you to quickly add the same data to a subset of animals in the database that have the same historical attributes. Simply filter the database by the common historical attributes, check the resulting count, view the animal list details and, once confirmed, select the data element and value to add. This will add the data element and value to the individual animal records of all animals in the filtered list.
Configured Events (Continuous Entry)
This screen enables you to customize a data entry screen for collecting unique data for individual animals in a continuous/consecutive process. In addition, you can setup default data that is also added to each animal’s record during the process.
