Click **Edit** on the tile. 2. In the **Update settings** window, fill the fields: - **Weeks between insemination and vaccination** – number (weeks); leave empty to disable automatic vaccination. - **Days between insemination and pregnancy check** – number (days); leave empty to disable automatic pregnancy checks. - **Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes** – total boxes (required if breeding is used). 3. Click **Save** to apply the changes, or **Cancel** to discard them. ### Good to know - The tile appears only after the organisation’s details have loaded. - The “Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes” line is shown only when the breeding module is enabled for your organisation. - You need the rights to edit organisation settings to see and use the **Edit** button. ### Update settings {#update-settings} Use this form to set the default intervals that the system uses when handling breeding activities. #### Weeks between insemination and vaccination - **Weeks between insemination and vaccination**: how many weeks to wait after an insemination before the system automatically adds a vaccination task. Leave empty to disable the automatic vaccination. #### Days between insemination and pregnancy check - **Days between insemination and pregnancy check**: how many days after an insemination before the system automatically adds a pregnancy‑check task. Empty disables the automatic addition. #### Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes - **Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes**: specify how many horse boxes can be used for mare‑cycle checks. This total is used when scheduling such checks (visible only if you have access to the breeding module). #### After saving - The new values are stored for your organisation and will be applied to future breeding activities; they appear immediately in the General settings tile. ## Planning settings {#planning} Displays whether your organisation uses day parts and shows a list of the defined day parts with their time ranges. ### Reading the Planning settings - **Use day parts**: Yes if more than one day part is defined, otherwise No. - **Day parts**: List of each day part’s name followed by its start‑to‑end time (e.g. Morning 06:00 – 12:00). ### Edit day part settings 1. Click the **Edit** button (pencil icon) on the tile to open the day‑part settings form. ### Good to know - The tile appears once your organisation is selected and the day‑part data is loaded. - **Use day parts** shows Yes only when at least two day parts exist. - The **Edit** button is only visible if you have rights to change planning settings. ### Update day part settings {#update-day-parts} Use this form to set the day‑parts that divide your planning day into useful blocks. #### **Name** - Enter the label for the part; it will appear in the planning view. #### **Start time** - Choose the time the part begins; the first part’s start time is fixed and cannot be changed. #### **Delete (trash icon)** - Click the trash icon to remove a day part (not available for the first part). #### **Add day part** - Press **Add day part** to create a new part; give it a name and start time. #### After saving - The new day‑part configuration is applied to the planning screen and shows in the tile’s “Day parts” list. ## Activity types {#activity-types} - **Name**: shown in a coloured bar; this is the name you’ll see when planning or executing an activity. - **Category**: a coloured label (Care, Sport, Breeding) indicating the group the type belongs to. Care types appear in the Care tab. - **Role**: list of role names that are allowed to perform this activity type. - **Bell icon**: means a reminder is sent; hover to see how many days before the activity the reminder occurs. - **Bell slash icon**: indicates no reminder is set. - **Disabled label**: shows that the activity type is hidden and cannot be selected; the row is displayed with reduced opacity. ### Add a new activity type 1. Click the **Add** button at the top‑right of the tile. The **Add activity type** form opens where you can enter the name, category, colour, assign roles and enable notifications. ### Edit an activity type 1. Click the three‑dot **menu** at the right side of the row. 2. Choose **Edit**. The same form opens pre‑filled with the current values. ### Disable or remove an activity type 1. Click the three‑dot **menu** at the right side of the row. 2. Choose **Disable** to hide a default type, or **Remove** to delete a non‑default type. Confirm the deletion in the pop‑up. ### Reorder care activities {#reorder-care-activities-2} Press the **Reorder** button (next to **Add**) to open the care‑activity ordering dialog. (Details are in the “Reorder care activities” help section.) ### Good to know - The **Role** column only appears if you have permission to view employee roles. - **Category** dropdowns and the option to create a billable item are only available when your organisation uses the Financial module. - Disabled activity types show a “Disabled” label and are displayed with a faded colour. ### Reorder care activities {#reorder-care-activities} This form lets you change the order in which care activities appear on the Care tab. #### Move up / Move down - Click the **Move up** arrow to shift an activity one step higher; click the **Move down** arrow to shift it lower. The arrows are disabled for the first and last items. #### After saving - The new order is saved and will be reflected immediately in the Care tab for all users. #### Close - Press **Close** to exit without saving changes. ### Add or edit activity type {#save-activity-type} This form lets you define the characteristics of an activity type that can be used when scheduling care, sport or breeding tasks. #### Category - Choose one of **Breeding**, **Care**, or **Sport** to group the activity; it determines where it appears in the planning view. #### Notifications - Toggle **Notifications** on to receive a reminder before each planned activity of this type. #### Days between reminder and planned activity - Enter the number of **days** before the activity when the reminder should be sent (only visible when notifications are enabled). #### Roles - Select the staff **Roles** that are allowed to schedule or execute this activity type. #### Color - Pick a **Color**; the chosen colour is used for the activity in the calendar. #### After saving - The activity type is added to (or updates) the list in Activity Settings and becomes available for planning; if notifications are enabled, reminders will be generated as configured. ## Calendar feeds {#calendar-feeds} This tile lists the calendar feeds you have set up for automatic synchronization with your own calendar application. ### Reading the Calendar feeds - **Type**: the kind of events the feed contains (Activities, Feed, Facility events, etc.). - **Activity types**: blue badges (up to three) show the activity types limited to; empty means all activity types. - **Horses**: green badges with a horse icon show the horses limited to; empty means all horses. - **Created on**: date the feed was created. - **Add to calendar** button: opens the feed URL in your calendar app so you can subscribe. - **Menu** (three‑dot icon): lets you **Copy link** (copies the webcal URL) or **Delete** (removes the feed after confirmation). ### Add a new calendar feed 1. Click the **Add** button at the top right of the tile. ### Copy a feed link 1. Click the **menu** (three‑dot icon) on the feed row. 2. Choose **Copy link** – the link is copied to your clipboard. ### Delete a calendar feed 1. Click the **menu** (three‑dot icon) on the feed row. 2. Choose **Delete** and confirm the warning. ### Good to know - The tile appears only if you have the rights to manage calendar feeds in your organisation. - Leaving a filter empty means the feed includes everything for that category. - Only the first three badges per filter are shown; extra items appear as “+x”. ### Add calendar feed {#add-calendar-feed} Use this form to create a new calendar feed that automatically synchronises selected events with an external calendar. #### Type - Choose the kind of events the feed will contain (Activities, Feed, Holidays, Facility events, Availabilities, Daily notes). This determines which extra filters become available. #### Activity types {#activity-types-2} - (only when **Type** is set to Activities) Select specific activity types to include; leave empty to include all activity types. #### Horses - (only for Activities, Feed, or Facility events) Pick the horses whose events should be part of the feed; leave empty to include all horses. #### After saving - A new calendar feed appears in the calendar feeds list in Activity Settings and will start syncing the chosen events automatically.
