Tap on a pen number to begin updating animals on your worklist A worklist is a structured list of tasks or animals requiring attention, typically used to organize and prioritize work. In PULSE and the mobile app, worklists identify animals that need to be seen by dairy workers or animal health experts for specific reasons, such as pregnancy checks or treatment in a hospital pen..

All animals within the pen are displayed by their ID number. You have several options for working with animals in a list, including:

- Marking them DONE,
- Adding them to the queue (vet lists only),
- Searching for an animal,
- Scanning an animal,
- Adding more animals to a list, and
- Viewing animals that are already processed.

## Search for an Animal

The list search feature is helpful if you have located a specific animal and need to see if it is in your list. You can enter the animal ID in the search bar at the top of the screen, regardless of which pen you are currently viewing.

Animals matching your search are identified asDONE, needed, or not needed:
