Adding Custom Responses

Adding Custom Responses to the "Additional Information" NVD Question

In the release 5.0.10.32, Outcross Systems has introduced a hassle-free method for incorporating "Additional Information" from the National Vendor Declaration (NVD) with a simple tick box in Stockyard. This enables you to quickly and easily add NVD responses to the additional information question on the NVD entry screen. These responses show up on your pre sale summary reports and can be configured to show up on screen displays.
This new feature simplifies the process of adding NVD responses. Examples of this would be including Saudi Eligible (SAE), Russian Eligible (RE), Antibiotic Free, Grass Fed, and anything else that commonly appears in vendors "Additional Information responses". See below for an example of the new options in action:

Setting up Custom NVD Responses

Step 1: Preparing the Sale Types

  1. Open Sale Types (Livestock --> Maintenance --> Sale Types)
  2. Select a Sale Type you wish to add a Question to
  3. Find NVD Custom Fields (on the right) and click New
  4. Add in the NVD Questions
    1. Description will be the text used to populate the Extra Information on the NVD
    2. Public Display Code (Optional) is used if you have a Screen Display on another screen outlaying data to the public
  5. Click OK and it will Save to the Sale Type

Step 2: Adding to Sales

To setup the NVD responses for a particular Sale, you need to add them to the Sale Maintenance screen
To do so,
  1. Right-click on the Sale --> Click 'Maintain Sale'
  2. Click on NVD Custom Fields button
  3. And add in the Description and/or Public Display Code
  4. Then click OK!
If the Sale has not been added yet and you have completed step 1, any new Sale will inherit the NVD Responses added to the Sale Type
