Assigning a new EID to Existing Animal in Live Entry

Assigning a new EID to Existing Animal in Live Entry

Before you can assign a new EID to an existing animal, you will need to have your unallocated tags saved in Stockbook.

For step-by-step instructions on how to save unallocated tages in Stockbook, refer to the Knowledge Base article "Importing Tag Bucket Files (Unallocated Tags).

Note:       
Changing the animal's EID will also change the NLIS ID. It will use the NLIS ID associated with the new EID.
It is assumed that in your Live Entry Session Defaults (Setup | Session Defaults) you have "On new EID" set to "Ask me what to do".

 1.  Scan new tag

In Live Entry, scan the tag you will put in the animal to replace the old one.

 2. Assign the tag

The following message will appear. Click Assign to Existing Animal

 3. Find the Correct Animal

Find the animal you want to assign the tag to.
  1. Start typing in the animal's ID into box 1 and then select the actual ID from box 2
  2. Once you have selected the correct animal in box 2, press the  Assign Tag  button


Note:
You can force the EID to be automatically assigned to an existing animal by changing the setting in the session defaults.
Doing so will eliminate step 2.

  • Click on  Setup  >  Session Defaults  menu option
  • Select  Link EID to existing animal  from the  On new EID  drop down list

 

 4. Confirm the new EID

The following message will then appear.
Click Yes to confirm the EID change.
