Farm worker: first day

Your job is the data that everything else depends on: what happened to the birds today. It is built for a phone in the house, with gloves on, with or without signal.

The daily routine

1. Open the right flock or egg set. From /lots/list, open the Lot you are working with. PoultryDesk uses Lot as the common label for a flock or hatchery egg set.
2. Record mortality. Enter the count on the mortality screen. Bulk entry lets you move down a list quickly.
3. Record feed. Enter feed delivered or consumed for the day.
4. Record eggs (layers). For layer flocks, enter each egg collection.
5. Submit. Tap submit. A queued badge appears and the entry is saved on the device immediately.

Watch out

Daily entry works with no signal. The entry is stored on the phone and syncs automatically when you are back online - you can keep working and even close the app. You do not record sales or expenses; that is the finance side and is handled by managers by default.
