The Farm Timeline displays events and changes on the farm in chronological order, supporting record keeping and providing context for better analysis.

Some events are added automatically, for example, when you give feedback on an Insight. We also automatically add ration changes from 3 different software: EZfeed, Feedlync and TAP*.

You can add events manually to keep a record and understand how changes you make impact key metrics. If you add an event, it will also be visible to other users that have access to the farm, to make collaboration more efficient.

You can add events manually when you make a change on the farm by clicking Add event above the Farm timeline or using the + button in the lower right corner.

Tip: Use the filter at the top of the timeline to easily sort events per type.

The app will now start tracking how this change impacts key metrics, such as milk production, dry matter intake, eating and ruminating time, and more. The first results will be ready after 3 days, followed by 1, 2 and 4 weeks. You can easily review them from the Farm timeline section of the overview dashboard. Simply click on the event to view tracking results.

Tip: The app tracks a default set of metrics for all events, but once the first results are ready you can add other metrics that are relevant for you to the analysis. Simply scroll to the bottom and select other metrics you want to track.

*Tracked metrics vary depending on data available on the farm and the event type.

Note that for events impacting multiple groups/pens the results shown are the direct average of the groups.
