What's changed in Mob Management?

An overview of updates to the mob management section.

Written by Corey Hudson

We've rebuilt Mob Management & Feeding Levels. The section still lives in the same place in your weekly report, and your existing mobs have carried over as they always have, but adding, editing and keeping track of mobs is now easier. Here's what's changed.

1. Adding a mob is now three short steps instead of one long form

Previously, Add Another opened a single form covering the mob's details and its feeding levels together, and you saved it all in one go with the Add button.

Add Mob now opens three boxes one after another — the mob's details, then its number of animals, then its feeding levels — each saved separately with Save Changes. If you back out partway through, the mob you started is already there in the list, so you can pick up editing where you left off rather than starting over.

2. Editing works the same way, mob by mob

The pencil icon on each mob has been replaced with clicking anywhere on the mob row to expand it. From there, the Mob Details, Number of Animals and Feeding Levels cards each have their own Edit button, so you can update just the part that's changed instead of stepping back through the whole mob.

3. Feeding levels now show a running total and a calculator

Feeding levels are still recorded in kgDM/head/day but now Trev keeps a Total Offered figure at the bottom. Trev still offers a calculator icon next to each row so you can enter what you actually fed out — in bales, buckets or whatever unit suits — and have it converted per head automatically.

4. You can now see where every mob is up to

Each mob carries a review icon (a grey warning circle, grey binoculars, grey pencil, or green tick) showing whether you've opened it, edited it, or signed it off, and the Mobs header keeps a running count, e.g. "8 of 9 reviewed." This is new — the previous mob management had no way to track review progress at a glance.

5. You can now reorder your mobs

Reorder Mobs lets you drag mobs into whatever order suits how you work through them, using the six-dot handle on the left of each row.

5. The reconciliation check is more detailed

The "your mobs don't match your reconciliation" alert still appears when your numbers are out, but it now breaks the variance down by common stock class — showing you exactly which class is short or over, broken down by mobs and by how many animals.
