Setup Tissue Sampling and Scanning (BVD, Genomic, Other)

NEW!  See how to use your device's camera to scan barcodes directly into BoviSync!

Mobile App Setup

You can configure the mobile app 2 different ways.   
  1. Option 1 would be using a Chore List   (Chore lists are used when you need to locate the animal receiving the tissue sample.  Think of this like a To-Do list)
  2. Option 2 would be using an Event Set  (Event sets are used when you already know which animals are going to receive a sample.  Think of this like a quick entry)

Chore List Setup

See video example below setting up a Chore List with a Tissue Same chore type. 
Chore Lists are often used in combination with a Protocol. If you need help setting up a protocol please contact our Customer Success Team. 



Event Set Setup

See video example below setting up an Event Set with a Tissue Sample event type. 


Don't forget to save settings after making changes:  Save BoviSync App Settings
