Animals
The Animals tab is the roster — every animal you've added, searchable and filterable. Everything else (events, reports, sharing) hangs off an individual animal's page.
The animals list
Hit Animals in the top nav. You'll see every animal in your current flock, alive or otherwise. Each row shows the tag/name, species, sex, age, current group, and a thumbnail if you've added a photo.
Quick search: start typing a tag number or name into the search box. Filters: narrow by species, group, or status (active vs. disposed). Click any row to open that animal's detail page.
Adding an animal
Hit Add animal at the top of the list. Required fields are short — species and one identifier (tag, name, or both). Everything else is optional and editable later.
If you're entering a bunch of animals from a notebook in one sitting, just power through the basics — species, tag, sex, rough birth year. You can come back and fill in breeds, sires, dams, registration numbers when you have the paperwork in hand.
Tip: photos are huge for telling lookalike animals apart later. Even a phone snap from across the pen helps.
Animal detail page
Click an animal in the list. You'll see:
- Facts — tag, name, species, breed, dates, parents, registration. Edit any of it from the pencil button.
- Photo — primary photo + the option to add more.
- Maintenance — what's overdue, due, or coming up for this animal (vaccinations, withdrawal periods, kidding windows).
- Events — the full history of what's happened to this animal. Newest at the top.
- Share — send this animal's records to someone (vet, buyer). See Sharing.
Editing
Hit the pencil next to the facts. Change whatever's wrong (we all transcribe a tag wrong sometimes). Save. The change is logged in the event history.
Photos
From the animal page, click the photo (or the "add photo" placeholder). Upload from your phone, your computer, wherever. JPEGs, PNGs. We resize on our end so don't worry about file size.
Groups
Groups are a tag for "this set of animals belongs together" — a breeding group, a pen, a pasture, a sale lot. Set up groups on the Groups page; assign an animal to a group from its detail page. One animal can be in one group at a time.
