Creating a Custom Report
Custom reports let you view exactly the data you need, with the columns and filters you specify.
How to Create a Report
- Navigate to the Reports section from the main navigation.
- Click Create Report (or the add button).
- Enter a name for the report (e.g., “Active Cows with Weights” or “2026 Calf Crop”).
- Choose the columns to display. See Choosing Report Columns for details.
- Set the filter criteria to define which animals appear. See Setting Report Criteria.
- Click Save.
What Happens After Saving
- The report is saved and appears on the Reports Dashboard.
- The report runs immediately, showing all matching animals with the selected columns.
- Data is always live — each time you open the report, it uses the latest data.
Editing a Report
- Open the report from the Reports Dashboard.
- Click Edit.
- Update the name, columns, or criteria as needed.
- Click Save.
Deleting a Report
- Open the report.
- Click Delete.
- Confirm the deletion.
Deleting a report does not affect any animal data — only the saved report configuration is removed.
Tips
- Start simple. Begin with a few key columns and broaden the report as needed.
- Name reports descriptively. A clear name like “Bred Cows Due in Spring 2026” makes it easy to find later.
- Create reports for recurring needs. If you regularly need the same data (e.g., a vet visit list), save it as a report so it’s always one click away.
