If you collected genomic samples [and did not use a Pocket CowCard scanner](docId:2bPJpE5ExqoOUpe467I60) to automatically assign the genomic sample data to an animal, you can manually assign the genomic sample data to an animal using PULSE, DC on Mobile, or DC305 DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software.

To assign genomic sample data to an animal, you must update the animal's genomic sample items (GSAMP and GSDAT) in its CowCard:

## Update Genomic Items in PULSE

1. In PULSE, open the animal's CowCard.
2. In the **Items** tab, click the **GSAMP** field, enter the animal's genomic sample ID, and save your changes.
3. Click the **GSDAT** field, enter the date you collected the sample, and save your changes.
4. Repeat these steps for every animal you sampled.

## Update Genomic Items in DC on Mobile

1. In DC on Mobile, open the animal's CowCard.
2. In the **Items** tab, tap **Edit Items** at the bottom of the page.
3. In the **GSAMP** field, enter the animal's genomic sample ID.
4. In the **GSDAT** field, enter the date you collected the sample.
5. Tap **Done** to save your changes.
6. Repeat these steps for every animal you sampled.

### Update Items for One Animal

1. In DC305 DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software, open the animal's CowCard.
2. In the **Items** tabs, double-click the **GSAMP** field and enter the animal's genomic sample ID.
3. Double-click the **GSDAT** field and enter the date you collected the sample.
4. Repeat these steps for every animal you sampled.

### Update Items for Multiple Animals

1. In DC305 DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software, enter `GSDAT=%DATE_SAMPLE GSAMP` in the command line.
2. Enter the date you collected the animal samples.
3. Enter the animal ID and the genomic sample ID for the sampled animal. Repeat this step for every animal you sampled.
4. Press **Enter** twice on your keyboard to complete the batch entry.

After you update the genomic sample items, you can submit the genomic samples to Zoetis in PULSE. See [Submit Zoetis Genomics Samples](docId\:tJrOdn6wC5RXw-AwMcgTW) to get started.
