Quick Actions are designed for high-throughput sessions: preg checking a cow herd, scoring body condition, recording hip height or horn status, or running a bull BSE all without breaking your processing rhythm.

Before You Start:

• Open Breedr on your tablet and rotate it to landscape orientation.
• Confirm your EID reader or weight head is connected if you're using equipment. See Chute Mode and Connecting Equipment.
• Quick Actions are available in both Quick Weigh and Quick Scan sessions.

How to use Quick Actions:

Step 1: Start a chute session

1. Tap "Sessions" from the bottom navigation bar.
2. Tap "Chute Setup" and scroll to "Quick Actions" section. 
3. Tap the switches on (green) or off  (grey) to select which action to be shown in sessions.
4. Long press and drag each action to reorder them. 
5. When satisfied with selected options and order, tap "Start" and run a Chute Session. 

Step 2: Scan the Animal

Scan the animal's EID tag with your reader, or enter its Visual ID (VID) manually using the search bar. The animal's record loads on screen

Step 3: Tap "Actions" on the Right Side of the Screen

With the tablet in landscape, an "Actions" panel appears on the right side of the session screen. Tap it to expand the list of available Quick Actions for that animal.

Step 4: Select and Record Your Actions

Tap any action from the list to record it for the current animal. You can record as many or as few actions as needed, not every action is required for every animal.

Available Quick Actions:

Identification

Physical Assessment

Breeding & Reproduction

Recording Multiple Actions for the Same Animal:

You can record as many Quick Actions as needed before moving to the next animal. For example, during a pregnancy check session you might record Pregnancy Status & Body Condition Score for each animal in sequence: tap each action, enter the value, and confirm before tapping the next.

Reviewing Quick Action Data After a Session:

All Quick Action data saves to each animal's activity history exactly the same as activities logged through the standard path.

To review after your session:

1. Tap "Pause" then "Save and Finish" to close the session.
2. Tap "View Animals" to see the session list.
3. Tap any animal to open its record and confirm the activities were saved correctly.

Quick Action data also flows through to the relevant reports: pregnancy results, BCS averages, BSE records, and breeding data all appear in Reports. See Reports.
