📝 The number of custom fields you can create depends on the model of indicator:
XR5000 indicator supports up to 100 custom fields.
ID5000 indicator supports up to 5 custom fields.
JR5000 indicator supports 1 custom field.
You can create an information field on the 5000 indicator to allow you to record new data or upload custom data from your animal data management software. You may want to create information fields to draft animals, or view specific data as you weigh. For example, you could add an information field for animal origin when inducting animals from another property. This would allow you to track the progress of these animals separately.
