Scheduling → Custom Attributes

This feature works the same as flock attributes. We'll select a schedule type that we defined from the system types screen. This will load a list of custom types defined for the item. We can add and manage user-defined fields that will appear for every scheduled item. 

  • Add: Create a new custom attribute for this type.

  • Edit: Manage the selected attribute.

  • Save: Save all changes made since the form was loaded.

  • Close: Close the form.

Schedule Types Available for Selection and Their Descriptions:

  • BKTRM - Beak Trim

  • BRBCKN - Barn Cleaning

  • BRNINS - Barn Inspection/ Swab

  • EVENTBYAGE - Evens by Age

  • MANR - Manure Management

  • SCHEDDEPOPSALE - Scheduled Depopulation, Sales

  • SCHEDDOWNTIME - Scheduled Downtime

  • SCHEDKILL - Scheduled Kill

  • SCHEDMOLT - Scheduled Molt

  • SCHEDPLACE - Scheduled Placement

  • SCHEDTRANSFER - Scheduled Transfer

  • VAC - Vaccines

 

Custom attributes are distinct to the type- we cannot set up one that will be shared for several types. 

At present, the control allows the creation of string and boolean types.  When we schedule this development for system type attributes it will also add these to flock attributes.

Here's a look at the edit screen, here we can define the custom field. We can determine what order we want it to appear in the list.

We can also disable a custom attribute. This will not delete the attribute or any of it's data from the database.  If an attribute is disabled it can be enabled again without the loss of any selected data.
