Mob-based Sessions (app)

Mob-based Sessions (app)

Sessions are used throughout StockMate, for recording animal attributes, drafting, movements, examination results and applying treatments. They can be created via scanning animals, bulk selection or importing data using the relevant templates. The Status of an animal in StockMate is dependant on the most recent session an animal has been in.

Ensure that the Tenant Settings are configured for mob-based stock management. Refer to Enable Mob-based Tenant Settings (web) for further details.
The Tenant Settings need to be setup on the Web before the mob-based functionality can be used on the Tablet. Sync the App with the Web to update the Tenant Settings on the Tablet.
