Dashboard

Where the day starts: what needs attention, how the flock is growing and who leads each ranking.

What it is for

The Dashboard is the flock overview. It answers four questions in one screen: is anything urgent, what are the flock's current figures, how is the inventory distributed, and which animals lead on each index.

  1. Status of the last EBV calculation (expand to see warnings)
  2. Needs attention: alerts and open tasks for the whole flock
  3. Genetic evaluation: date of the last run and number of traits
  4. Active animals in inventory
  5. Prolificacy: lambs born ÷ lambing events
  6. Actual average daily gain (ADG) by stage: birth→50 d, →100 d, →6 months
  7. Inventory: active, sold, slaughtered, dead, other exits
  8. Category cards: ewes, ewe lambs, sires, ram lambs, males to review, culling
  9. Filters: breed, lot and period

Reading it top to bottom

EBV calculation shows the state of the last genetic run (here "Completed with warnings"); expand it to see what the evaluation could not use. Needs attention groups alerts (for example "Within withdrawal until 2026-11-21 — not fit for the food chain") and open tasks with their priority and due date; alert rules are configured from the link beside it, and silenced alerts are listed apart.

Genetic evaluation gives the date of the last run and the number of traits (9). Active animals and Prolificacy (lambs born ÷ lambing events) are the two headline figures. The ADG row shows actual average daily gain for birth→50 d, →100 d and →6 months with the number of animals in each calculation; "Analyze in detail" opens the Growth analysis.

Inventory counts active, sold, slaughtered, dead and other exits. The category cards (ewes, ewe lambs, sires, ram lambs, males to review, culling) open the Animals list filtered to that category.

Composition and reproductive status

Flock composition shows animals by age band and sex (0–6, 6–12, 12–18, 18–24 and 24+ months) and by breed. Reproductive status (females) shows pregnant, exposed, empty, unknown and not yet of breeding age, with lactating as an overlapping state: a nursing ewe can also be pregnant or exposed, so the five counts do not add up to the total.

Rankings

Four panels rank proven sires, productive ewes, growing ram lambs and ewe lambs. Each has an index selector (Flock, Growth, Prolific Flock) and a row count (5 to 100), shows the percentile and a movement marker (● New), and links to the full list in that order.

  1. Proven sires ranked by the chosen index
  2. Productive ewes ranked by Flock (Flock Index)
  3. Growing ram lambs ranked by Growth (Growth Index)
  4. Index selector: Flock, Growth or Prolific Flock
  5. Open the full ranked list

Population and inbreeding

The last block reports deep-pedigree diversity: founders, effective founders and ancestors, mean inbreeding, % inbred, mean relationship, generation interval and pedigree completeness. It becomes meaningful once pedigrees are recorded.

Filters

Breed, lot and period (all time, 6, 12 or 24 months) filter every card at once.

Web and mobile

The web app is the full experience; the Dashboard is designed for the screen where you plan. The mobile app is a companion for recording in the field, and the Chute is the module built for it.
