Management reports

 Top  Previous  Next

Management reports are used to create a list of tasks to do in the farm, for example, females to serve, pregnancy check, vaccinate, etc. Most of the management reports share the same parameter form.

 

Period Length
Select the number of days from the current date to include females due for tasks.

 

Date to Exclude Overdue Females
Leave it blank to include overdue females, or enter a date to exclude them before the date.

 

Days From Status
Days from the status to calculate the task date. For example, in a Females Due to Farrow list, the status is Served and the task date is Due date.

 

Data Transfer to Batch
Select Yes to transfer the list of females to Batch Data Entry.

 

You can add additional filters for Parity, Genetics, Location, and Group ID.  You can change the sort order in the Order sheet.
