Creating groups in Datamars Livestock and Datamars Pro

Create groups in Datamars Livestock (web app) or Datamars Pro (mobile app) to manage your animals.

You can create or manage groups using Datamars Livestock (web app) or Datamars Pro (mobile app). The groups are stored in the Datamars Livestock cloud platform and are available in both apps.

Active Tag - You should create groups 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 the Datamars Livestock platform (Active Tag)

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 the Datamars Livestock platform (weigh scale indicators).

  • Edit group settings

  • Archive unused groups

  • Configuring default groups
