Crush Setup overview

Crush Setup allows you to set up parameters to draft animals based on conditions you choose before you start a weighing session.

What is Crush Setup?

Functionality where you can set up conditions in which you want to draft your animal/s into prerecorded groups and/or a location. You can weigh animals right away following setting up the crush or save as a template to use for future weighing sessions. 

Where to find Crush Setup?

From your Breedr homescreen, either head to the Quick Weigh/Manage Crush button (left image) or the tab 'Sessions' (right image) to find the Crush Setup button

Crush Setup flow:

1. Add the 'Template name' and expected number of animals in the draft (this will appear in the header along with other crush stats (tablet only feature)). You can select Add Activity '+' if you want to additionally match up Animal IDs and/or add financial information against every animal in the session or, just head straight to Step 3
2. If you select one/both activities, this will produce a pop up when the animal is entered into the field for you to fill out before recording each weight
   1. Update Animal IDs = you can update and/or match EIDs and VIDs with the option of including the Pedigree ID too
   2. Animal Value Calculator = set the price per kg for either Live or Carcass Weight to view the Purchase price; current Estimated value and Change (estimated profit, from purchase to sale value)
3. Tap Add Draft + to add your drafting parameters
   1. Choose which preloaded group/location to draft animals into; add a drafting label and choose a colour to display as your drafted
      
      
   2. Choose Weight range and/or Sex and/or Days on farm conditions to draft
4. Check drafting details and add as many drafts as required. You can then select 'Start' (go straight to step 8) or tap Save as template
5. If you Save as template, you will be back on the Sessions landing page. When you're ready to get weighing, tap 'See Templates'
   
   
   
6. Select the template you've created
7. Check the template and make any adjustments you need > Start
8. Check your draft/s are displaying on this screen and start weighing
9. As the weight displays on the screen or is manually typed in, your animal will automatically flag up to draft if the animal fits the drafting criteria according to the parameters you set
10. If you'd like to override the draft decision, simply tap the draft box circled, then the tick and corresponding colour will disappear, to show the animal is no longer included in the draft

To pause your session to return to another time (on that individual device only):

1. 'Pause'
2. 'Finish Later'
3. You can come back to this session by heading to 'Active Sessions' and selecting the session > 'Resume' recording

To save and finish your session and allow all users to see the session:

1. 'Pause'
2. 'Save and finish'
   
   1. If you have good internet connection, your session will save straight away and go into the 'Finished Sessions' folder. This session will then be available on all devices on the account, and you will be able to see the session on your web app in 30 minutes
   2. If you do not have internet, your session will remain in Active Sessions and only be available on the device it was recorded on. It will save when you are back in good coverage (make sure you wait a couple of minutes in good reception before you open your app where it will automatically save)
      
      

To view this data on the web app:

1. Go to the Reports centre
2. 'Sessions' - here you have the option to see all weight sessions. Remember to use filters to narrow down your results!
