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.
