Animals
The list presents basic details of every current animal in your database.
Live Entry
The Live Entry screen is specifically designed for those people who want to take a computer to the yards and enter data directly as operations are performed on animals. You can connect your eID reader and weighs scales and other hardware as well.
Contacts
Using Stockbook will require you to enter some detail about people and organizations in the livestock industry with whom you have dealings eg. Agents, Processors, Vendors etc. We have included a section where you can keep a list of contact details.
User Lists
User lists allow you to maintain lists of current animals. You can define as many user lists as required - there is no limit to the number possible. One user list, called Temporary Selection is always available.
User Reports
Stockbook has an inbuilt report writer which facilitates the use and access to create customised reports.
ET Module
Stockbook has a function that allows you to manage your embryo programs and flushes.
Paddocks
You can assign livestock to paddocks in Stockbook. This section allows you to view the location of these animals.
Backup
Backing up means taking a copy of your data. This is vital and cannot be over-emphasized. Ideally, you should backup your data after every change.
NLIS
There are many requirements for producers to inform the National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS) about the movement of livestock with electronic tags (EID). You can do this directly via this function in Stockbook.
Sync
Stockbook can operate stand-alone or as a link to a web-based database. Quick Sync checks all databases for differences between the local installation and the web installation. If differences are found then it will automatically synchronise the two.
Menu Dropdowns
This area of the knowledge base will provide you with articles that are located in the various menu dropdowns in the software.
Error Messages
Stockbook will sometimes provide you with an error on your screen. The items in this section will assist you in resolving these errors.
Excel Tips and Tricks
Sometimes before you import data into Stockbook you need to configure the data in a specific way to allow Stockbook to read the file. The articles in this area will help you manage your Excel data.
