# Care activities

The tile lists the care activity types for the horse you are viewing, showing when each was last performed and any next planned date.

## Reading the Care activities
- **colored dot**: the colour assigned to the activity type.
- **Never**: the activity has never been performed.
- **red warning circle**: a planned activity was not marked as finished.
- **Planned for today** badge: the next planned activity is today.
- **Next** badge: the next planned activity on the listed date.
- **Overdue** badge: the next planned date has passed without a newer plan.

## Mark a care activity as finished
1. Tap the row that shows a **red warning circle**.
2. In the details panel that opens, tap **Mark as finished**.
3. The tile updates automatically.

## Plan a care activity
1. Tap the row (if there is no **Next** badge, or you want to add a new plan).
2. In the details panel, tap **Plan**.
3. In the **Plan care activity** window, select a **Date** (add a **Note** if you wish) and tap **Save**.
4. The tile now shows a **Planned for today** or **Next** badge with the chosen date.

## Good to know
- Only shown for horses that belong to your own stable; hidden for external horses.
- If no care activity types are set up, you see the message *No care activity types configured*.
- Care activity types are defined in the activity settings; the dates come from your organisation's records.
