Activities: how it works

Activities help stable owners and staff organise all horse‑related tasks – training, vet visits, care, breeding checks and facility reservations. All pages show the same activities, so creating, moving or completing a task in one view updates every other view instantly.

What an activity is

An activity is a scheduled or finished task linked to a horse, staff member, stable or facility. It has a type, date/time and a status (Not started, Done, Overdue). If the type has a price, marking it Done makes it billable.

How it works together

1. Settings – Define your Activity types, Day parts, and optional Calendar feeds. Add prices here; they are applied when the activity is marked Done.
2. Planning – Use the calendar to view days or weeks, filter with Group by, View type, etc., and create or move activities with Add or drag‑and‑drop.
3. Day – For the current day, tiles (default: staff) let you drag a horse from the sidebar onto a staff tile to assign a new activity, or move an existing row to another horse or staff member.
4. Action list – List today’s activities; use Group by, Hide empty groups, Assignee → For me, Show finished, and Sort by to organise the rows. Mark items Done directly.
5. Care – See each horse’s latest and next care tasks. Tap the plus sign to Plan care activity; the new entry appears in all other views as a regular activity.

Settings

The Settings page is for administrators to edit Activity types, reorder them, define Day parts, and manage Calendar feeds. After pressing Save, the changes are available everywhere.

Planning

The Planning view is a calendar where you can browse multiple days/weeks, filter by Group by, View type, Time scale or Activity type, and create or move activities with drag‑and‑drop. The Today button jumps back to today.

Day

In Day you see tiles for staff, horses or activity types (according to Group by). Drag‑and‑drop assigns horses to staff or moves activities. Use the Date navigator to switch days.

Action list

The Action list shows all activities for the selected day in a table. You can group, hide empty groups, filter by assignee and sort horses by Name or Box number. Toggle Show finished to keep or hide completed items.

Care

The Care screen lists horses in rows and care activity types in columns, showing the last performed date, Planned for today, Next date or Overdue warning. From here you can Plan care activity or mark a task Done.

Good to know

• All pages share the same activity data; changes are reflected instantly.
• A priced activity type becomes billable when you mark it Done.
• Hide empty groups only removes groups without activities; the Stable filter appears only when you have more than one stable.
• Drag‑and‑drop works only after selecting an activity type in the sidebar; otherwise a warning is shown.
