Using MINDA, you can record names for your animals. When recording names in MINDA, you'll need to know:

  • Date the animal(s) were given their name

  • Animal ID

  • Name of the animal


How do I record a Name Event?

Select Event Recorder from the dashboard and then select Name from the list of available Events. Next go through the steps on screen.

Step 1. Select date

Select the date the animal was given the name. If the date was earlier, click Earlier then use the calendar to select the right date.

Step 2. Choose your animal(s)

Select the animals you're recording names for. If the animals are in a specific Group, you can change the Group to show only those animals otherwise, you can search for the animal if you know their ID.

Once you've selected the animals, they'll be moved to the right hand side as shown above. If you need to remove any animals, use the x.

Step 3. Name animals

Add the names for your animals.

Step 4. Review and finish

Review the details you've entered. If you need to edit anything, click Change or use the Back button otherwise click Finish.

The Event should now show in the Holding Pen where you can approve it.
