Some thoughts on doing entry on the mobile app.
- Auto increment the calf tag to the next in the series. Look at the last heifer and the last bull and increment based off of sex or breed.
- duplicate warning if that ID already exists in the herd
- View the last calf entered- when you go into the edit recent, you can't see the calf ID that you entered. It would also be helpful to see during the entry screen.
- I think for new users especially there is a lot of confusion around Omit Calf info and going to Live birth and then No Eartag. The other common thing that happens here is instead of picking No Eartag, entering a 0.
- With matched tag sets, could we scan the EID and then have the ID assigned when they refresh their data?
A lot of the issues would be cleared up if the auto increment worked well. A lot of farms still write their fresh cows on a clipboard over night and enter them in batch in the morning. When I tried this in the office, I entered a couple of cows incorrectly.
