Overview

The Movement Book reports can be found via the Reports | Identities | Movement Book menu.  There are two options; one is the official format and the other is a brief format which is quick to interpret.  You can view the movements for any animal by right clicking in the Animal Details window and then selecting Movements.  If you are using the Locations facility, there is a seperate report called Location Moves; this is also found under the Reports | Identities menu.

Specifying a Movement Book Report

First select the Report type - Brief or Official

Now select whether you want all movements or specific movements

Where All movements are required, specify the Date parameters and Sort order, then click Print or Preview

In the case of Specific Movements, there are further parameters to specify, as detailed below:

• If you wish to show a certain movement type for the Herd premises, select the Herd from the drop-down box and then select the Movement Type.  Then select the required Premises Name.  E.g. "Beef Demo" herd premises, "OFF" Movement type, moved to "Orchid Data" premises.  Now specify the Dates from/to and  the Sort Order and then click Print or Preview.

• If you wish to select specific movements between two external premises (not involving your herd premises), you need to delete the Herd name so that the Herd drop-down box is blank (highlight the herd name with your cursor and then press the Delete key on the keyboard).  If you have done this correctly, the Other Premises drop-down box becomes "active" (shown below).  Now select the Movement Type and then the Premises Name and the name of the Other Premises.  E.g. "ON" Movement, moved from  "Orchid Data"  onto "Managed Farm".  Now specify the Dates and Sort Order and then click Print or Preview.
