Creating groups

Create groups in Datamars Livestock to manage your animals

Updated this week

If using Datamars Livestock with Active Tag - You should create groups in Datamars Livestock to match the physical herds, mobs or pens on the farm e.g. Herd 1, Herd 2, Sick Mob. For more information, see Using groups in Datamars Livestock (Active Tag)

If using Datamars Livestock with WOW or weigh scale indicators - You should create groups to allow you to track animals from the same stock class against a target weight over a period of time. See Using groups in Datamars Livestock (weigh scale indicators).

You can create a new group or move an animal into a different group using the mobile app OR the web app. However, you must use the web app, rather than the mobile app to:

  • Create and modify group settings.

  • Archive unused groups

📝 An animal can only belong to one group at a time.

📝 You must have admin permissions to create or modify groups.

To create a new group in the web app:

  1. Click on My Herd, then Groups.

  2. Click on Add Group in the top, right-hand corner.

  3. Name the group to match the group on your farm and optionally add a description. Click Save group.
