Getting Started:
- Click the link above and login
- Click ‘online transactions’
Create a New Batch:
- Before you enter any data online you must ‘create a new batch’.
- Select ‘Create a Batch from Pre-Built Worksheet’ and Batch Type ‘Calf Entries’.
- Enter details of the data being entered e.g. ‘2016 calf registrations’.
- Click ‘Create’.
A batch can be opened and accessed many times so does not have to be completed and submitted in one sitting. A batch number will automatically be given.
Select the correct female inventory by clicking in the tick box. Click ‘Go’. This will give a list of females active in your herd. Click ‘Continue’.
Enter each calves details against the appropriate dam by clicking the record number/edit e.g. ‘132 – Edit’.
Completing data fields:
As the breeder of each calf, you are supplying important information on the pedigree of the animals. It is your responsibility to make sure that all the information is accurate.
Twins:
Any twins or additional calves can be added by clicking the ‘Add’ button (found at the foot of the female inventory page).
Warnings & Errors:
Warnings are given in green. They inform you of a possible mistake but usually suggest such things as dam inactive in herd at calving. Processing can continue but you should advise the society why a warning has been overridden e.g. you want the dam reinstated to active so you can record the calf.
Fatal errors are given in red. They must be corrected before a batch can be submitted. If you are unable to correct a fatal error and you want to submit your batch you may delete a record by clicking the “delete” field and then click “go”. This deletes the calf record not the female.
Editing batches and records:
You can view a batch by clicking on the batch number. This produces a batch summary indicating validated entries, entries with warnings, entries with fatal errors and deleted records. You can edit a record by clicking on the record number. This displays the record page with each component and indicates which is/are in error. You can change any component and click “go” at the bottom. The record will go through the validation process again. You cannot edit a record after the batch has been submitted.
Submitting a batch:
If you have warnings they will be accepted by the system when you submit the batch but you cannot submit a batch with fatal errors. Either correct them or delete the record.
To submit a batch to the Society you click the “View batch or submit this batch” heading and then confirm your wish by clicking the “Submit this batch to NZ Murray Grey” button. This will automatically send an e-mail with an attachment to the Murray Grey Office. These registrations will be processed electronically.
