Report Search Criteria

Report Search Criteria

The Report Search Criteria allows for flexibility in the results returned when loading a report. If no Search Criteria is selected all data will be loaded in the report, or the Search Criteria be used to target reporting to a specific group of animals. There are three general types of search criteria used throughout StockMate:
  1. Livestock: Found in most StockMate reports. The values selected pertain to the animal's values at the report date.
    Info
    On reports that can be backdated, report date refers to the backdated date. Reports that do not have a backdated option use the animal's values as at "now".
  2. Sessions: Found in limited StockMate reports (Sessions Report, Treatment Report). The values selected are relative to the Session, rather than animals.
  3. CSV: Found in some StockMate reports. Allows for reporting on animals specified individually in a CSV file.
  4. EID: Found in some StockMate reports. Allows for reporting on animals whose EIDs have been specified individually in the EID search text box.

Search Criteria Form

The Search Criteria Form can be found in the top section of StockMate Reports. It can be used to narrow down the results returned in reports, to groups of animals with the same attributes. Results will only be returned where all Search Criteria are met. 
  1. From the Report screen, select the required options for your Search Criteria.
    Info
    Some Reports allow for multi-select in the Search Criteria , tick all options required.

  2. For reports that have the Back-date option:
    1. Leave Back-date unticked. The Search Criteria will pertain to values as at "now".

    2. Tick Back-date and select date/time. The Search Criteria will pertain to values as at the selected date.

  3. Once all required Search Criteria has been selected, select Report Configuration, Load to view results.
    Info
    If the Search Criteria is changed, the Results must be re-loaded to reflect the changes.

  4. Reset can be used to clear the previously selected Search Criteria.

Search Criteria CSV

Some Reports (Livestock Report (web), Sessions Report (web), Follow-ups Report and Carcase Performance Report (web)) have an additional CSV Search Criteria function. A CSV with individual animals can be uploaded, the data for these animals will then return in the report. This is useful when specific animals need to be reported on, but may not meet the traditional Search Criteria options.
Info
The Search Criteria CSV works independently to the Search Criteria Form. Animals in the CSV will return in results, the Form Criteria will be ignored. 
  1. From the Report Screen, select CSV.

  2. Select Get Import Template, open the template on your PC.

  3. Populate the CSV file and save.
    Info
    Only one identifier is required for each animal, but multiple can be supplied.
    To search animals by Visual Tag or Alternate Tag only, they must be unique - enforced by the Tenant Settings. 

  4. Back-date option:
    1. Leave Back-date unticked. The Report date will pertain to values as at "now".

    2. Tick Back-date and select date/time. The Report date will pertain to values as at the selected date.

  5. Select Browse, select your CSV file, Load.

Search Criteria EID

Some Reports (Livestock Report (web), Sessions Report (web), Follow-ups View and Report (web) and Treatments Report (web)) have an additional EID Search Criteria function. The EIDs of individual animals can be input in the text box, the data for these animals will then return in the report. This is useful when specific animals need to be reported on, but may not meet the traditional Search Criteria options.
Info
The Search Criteria EID works independently to the Search Criteria Form and CSV. The Animal whose EIDs are listed will return in results. The Form and CSV Criteria will be ignored.
  1. From the Report Screen, select EID.
  2. Back-date option:
    1. Leave Back-date unticked. The Report date will pertain to values as at "now".

  3. Type or paste EDIs into the textbox one per line or separated by commas, select Report Configuration, Load.
    The Results will return data for the selected animals.
    Info
    Multiple EIDs can be copied to the user's computer clipboard ready to paste, using the Copy EIDs functionality in the Bulk Actions drop-down list.
    Refer to Session Screen Overview (web) for further details on using the Copy EIDs functionality.
