EID/Barcode Shortcuts for Live Entry Activities
EID/Barcode shortcuts for products can be set up in Stockbook. This means you can allocate unused EID tags or generated barcodes (you must own a barcode reader to use this option) to represent the various activities within Live Entry. When one of these EID's or Barcodes is scanned, the product and the calculated dosage will be recorded for the animal.
This method is used to reduce data entry in the yards. Instead of manually adding in the product treatment for each animal, you simply scan the EID or Barcode you have linked to that product and this treatment will automatically be recorded for each animal treated in Live Entry.

A handy tip is to attach your EID tags or barcodes to a board or some other form of display (same order as Data Entry Panel), making sure they are adequately spaced apart. Write the name of the product beside each EID or barcode.
