When rating the animal, you document the condition of the individual animal. The condition is determined visually and recorded with the help of the traffic light system. In the basic assessment, only the general condition is recorded. In the extended evaluation you record the general condition, feed intake, consistency of faeces and respiratory diseases. You can either change the rating mode directly in the
Rating
action or you can define it in the settings.
A yellow or red evaluation means that VitalControl classifies the animal as conspicuous and puts it on the alarm list.
In the main screen of your VitalControl device, select the menu item
Actions
and press the OK
button.
Either scan an animal using the transponder or select an animal from the list. Confirm with OK
and select an animal with the arrow keys △ ▽. Confirm with OK
.
A submenu with the animal actions opens. Use the arrow keys ◁ ▷ to select the action
Rating
and confirm with OK
.
The rating menu opens. If you want to switch the rating mode, use the On/Off
button and the arrow keys ◁ ▷. With the
F1
key you get back to the evaluation menu.
Use the arrow keys ◁ ▷ △ ▽ to select a state and save it with the F3
key or the

If you do not make a selection using the arrow keys ◁ ▷ but save directly using the F3

key, VitalControl saves a neutral assessment, represented by a gray color.
If this action is not available, the action has probably been deactivated! Activate the action in the action settings menu. Alternatively, resetting all actions will bring that action back up.
