Some tips for the Animals interface:

• Rearrange the panels to any arrangement by dragging their title bars, or resizing them like a normal window.
• Change the data that is displayed in a Details Panel by clicking the small menu button at the top-right that panel.
• If a table is displayed (as opposed to a chart or a map), then a similar adjacent button will be available to change column settings.
• Sort any table by clicking the relevant column header, and drag and drop the column headers to reorder them.
• Edit animals in the main table or any of the details panels; just select an animal then click on the value that you want to edit. In some cases an editing dialog will appear.
• To edit multiple animals, select them then make edits using the Basic Details table.
• Add a new animal by selecting Edit > New Animal. This will add a new item in the Main Animals Table, with some default values.
• Add historical data (e.g. weights and treatments) by selecting an animal and clicking Edit > Add Event.

If you select Mobs from the Main Menu, you can efficiently move mobs between paddocks using the map:

One more thing:

We recommend that when in the app you add it to your desktop. For example, in Google Chrome this is done by clicking the Chrome menu and selecting "More tools" > "Add to desktop...", and leaving the "Open as window" option ticked.
