define their details later when you are ready to process them however, if you plan to use any of the same details for multiple animals in this event, we recommend that you go ahead and assign them for the first animal you add so that the app can automatically assign the same details to the rest of the animals you add to the event see save time when adding animals in bulk docid\ f a926cld2bc2ggaldb63 for more information when you finish adding animals to the event and have defined all of the required details in the fields marked with the symbol, tap the button to send your

current date in the event date field however, you can change the dates that animals were added to events this offers you additional flexibility on those days when you're unable to finish processing all animal events, or if an event was missed and needs to be added at a later point when changing event dates, keep the following in mind the new date cannot be later than the animal's birth date the new date cannot be later than the animal's current date the new date cannot exceed 365 days in the past to change an animal's event date tap the event date field for the animal select the date you want, then tap done regarding the event date field, keep the following in mind the field is always grayed out when it contains the current date even if you add the animal on the current date, the field will display in yellow on the next day because it no longer contains the current date changing a past date back to the current date reverts the field from displaying in yellow to once again displaying as grayed out save time when adding animals in bulk when you add the first animal to a new event, all details except for the animal's number are grayed out (unassigned) if you leave the other details unassigned, they will continue to be grayed out as you add more animals all required fields are marked with the (asterisk) symbol once you define details for the current animal, the app automatically reuses them for the next animals you add, which makes it much quicker to add animals in bulk note that the last details you selected are the ones that the app will use for the next animals you add so if you need to define different details for a set of animals in the event (for instance, maybe in a bred event, you need to define different breeding codes for several animals), simply change the details for the first animal in that set and then continue adding the rest of the animals that use that same breeding code if you need to change any details for a specific animal, simply tap the field and choose a different option important when you are adding animals in bulk to an event that allows s, the information in the and remark fields will not carry forward to other

animals to an event, the mobile app checks whether each animal is eligible to add to that specific event so based on the type of event you are working with, you may receive system prompts that warn you about an animal's status or its details before adding them to the event for example, let's consider a bred event when you add an animal to a event, the app is designed specifically to add females it will not allow you to add a female that is dry, already pregnant, younger than the minimum breeding , recently freshened, or flagged as "do not breed" likewise, because the app expects you to add females that are eligible to breed, it will display a warning before allowing you to add a female that is dry, already pregnant, younger than the minimum breeding age, recently freshened, or flagged as "do not breed" the app will not restrict you from adding these animals; it simply warns you of their status so that you can determine whether to continue processing your changes before you can process an animal in an event, all required details (marked with an asterisk) must be defined as soon as you define the required details for at least one animal on the list, the button will become
