Settings ​

This page is where you adjust planning‑related configuration for your stable, such as breeding intervals, day‑part divisions, activity types and calendar feeds.

Good to know ​

  • When you open the page the current organisation’s settings are loaded; a loading spinner is shown until the data is ready.
  • Tiles appear only if you have the required module: breeding fields in General settings need the breeding module, and Calendar feeds are hidden for BP organisations.
  • After saving changes in any tile the page automatically refreshes, so you always see the latest configuration.

General settings ​

This tile displays the organisation’s default breeding timing values.

Reading the General settings ​

  • Weeks between insemination and vaccination: the number of weeks; a dash (‑) means not set.
  • Days between insemination and pregnancy check: the number of days; a dash (‑) means not set.
  • Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes: how many boxes are available for mare cycle checks; a dash (‑) means not set (only shown when the breeding module is active).

Change the breeding timing settings ​

  1. Click Edit on the tile.
  2. In the Update settings window, fill the fields:
    • Weeks between insemination and vaccination – number (weeks); leave empty to disable automatic vaccination.
    • Days between insemination and pregnancy check – number (days); leave empty to disable automatic pregnancy checks.
    • Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes – total boxes (required if breeding is used).
  3. Click Save to apply the changes, or Cancel to discard them.

Good to know ​

  • The tile appears only after the organisation’s details have loaded.
  • The “Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes” line is shown only when the breeding module is enabled for your organisation.
  • You need the rights to edit organisation settings to see and use the Edit button.

Update settings ​

Use this form to set the default intervals that the system uses when handling breeding activities.

Weeks between insemination and vaccination ​

  • Weeks between insemination and vaccination: how many weeks to wait after an insemination before the system automatically adds a vaccination task. Leave empty to disable the automatic vaccination.

Days between insemination and pregnancy check ​

  • Days between insemination and pregnancy check: how many days after an insemination before the system automatically adds a pregnancy‑check task. Empty disables the automatic addition.

Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes ​

  • Number of Mare Cycle Check horse boxes: specify how many horse boxes can be used for mare‑cycle checks. This total is used when scheduling such checks (visible only if you have access to the breeding module).
