Tablet View

A clearer view for quicker decisions.

For those users who use iPads or other tablets you will now see an updated layout - allowing quicker action to menu items and showing more useful info without needing to scroll. For the best experience, use in the landscape orientation.

How to get started

Once you start a Live Session using a tablet, you will now see the new collapsible menu to the left of the screen.

These quick buttons can be used throughout the session - or hidden away using the icon in the bottle left.

Key options to call out:

• View Current Stats - this will show the current summary of the session, without having to press finish.
• Update Hardware - use this to edit or change any connections you have during the session
• Add a Note/ Add a Record - quickly add a note/record to the current animal in the session
• Pause or Change Setup - use this to pause the session or go back to the setup to change anything.

Record Templates

The order of the records is determined by the order you place the steps in when creating the template. Unless you have an add animals step, in this case, that will always remain first.
