Looking for animals in Societies

Animals 'disappear' in Stockbook when the wrong society is selected. You may have also downgraded from a stud version of Stockbook to commercial version (this hides any stud animals/information), but have restored a backup from the stud version.

If you have downgraded from a Stockbook stud version to a commercial version and are trying to transfer stud animals into your commercial animals, please contact Outcross Systems Support on 1800 799 107.

Step 1. To make animals visible again:

  1. Go to File > Select Society (or press F7 on your keyboard)
  2. A list of available societies will become available
  3. Select the society you believe your animals are located in
  4. You will be prompted that a society change has been done
See below images:

Step 2. If you still cannot locate your animals

  1. If you still cannot locate your animals after the society change has been completed, you may still be in the incorrect breed society
  2. You can check that the animals are in your Stockbook by going to the All Societies option
