Creating and managing Alerts
Alerts are a really useful tool in Breedr to help remind you and staff on your farm, of upcoming check ups for particular animals or events
Find out how to create alerts and where to find them in the mobile app. Alerts recorded in Breedr will appear for all account users in the dashboard of their mobile app under 'All updates and alerts...' as well as against the individual animal.
Tip: ensure your phone settings allow Notifications for the Breedr app so you can receive a push notification, without even opening the app
To create an alert against an individual animal:
- Go to your 'My Cattle' tab and select the animal you want to create an alert for
- Click on the right 'Alerts' tab to see all alerts currently against this animal
(Note: you can go straight to 'Manage' option here) - 'Manage'
- 'Create alert'
- Select Alert type; Priority > date of reminder > optional Notes > Create
- 'Alert saved successfully' banner. Alert details will sit against this animal as well as the 'All updates and alerts..' section from the dashboard shown at the top
Alert automatically created after logging a PD test
- When you log a PD Test and click 'Save', an alert will automatically be created, estimating the pregnancy due date according to your 'Time since Conception' entry
- Alert will be saved against the individual animal and, again, in the 'All updates and alerts..' section from the dashboard
Logging a Bulling or an Artificial Insemination event gives you the option to 'Create a reminder alert' should you wish to as well
Creating an alert in Quick Weigh in Crush mode:
As you are weighing, you can also create an alert against an animal. Click 'alert' > add in details > 'Create'. You can then edit or change the alert by clicking on the flag icon
Viewing all Alerts in a Report:
All previous and current alerts can be found in the Alerts report in the web app, for reference.
