Updating Labels at the EID Level and Reviewing Sale Yard Reports

Key Steps

1. Access the EID-level label screen 0:00

• Select the relevant EID.
• Confirm you are working at the EID level, not only the sale lot level.
• Use this view when you need labels to flow correctly into billing reports.

2. Sort and select the animals that need label changes 0:15

• Sort the list by the field that best helps you identify the animals you need.
• Select the specific EIDs you want to update.
• Double-check your selection before applying any bulk changes.

3. Apply bulk label updates 0:24

• Click Update Labels.
• Choose the label you want to apply, such as:
  • No taggers
  • Deceased animal
  • Non-readers
• Use Bulk Update to apply the label to all selected EIDs at once.

4. Add temporary or sale-specific labels when needed 0:40

• Add extra labels if required, such as Vet checked.
• Remember that some labels are per sale only and will not carry over permanently.
• Use these labels only when they are needed for the current sale.

5. Remove labels from selected EIDs 1:00

• Select the animals that need label removal.
• Remove only the labels that no longer apply.
• Confirm the correct labels remain on each EID after the update.

6. Turn on the correct label columns in your view 1:22

• Make sure the label columns are visible in your layout.
• Use the appropriate columns for:
  • Sale lot labels
  • Scan labels / EID lot labels
• Turn on the columns you need before reviewing or reporting.

7. Review the updated information in Sale Yard Reports 1:36

• Go to Sale Yard Reports.
• Check that the labels and fees are displaying correctly.
• Confirm the report is pulling the information at the individual lot/EID level as expected.

8. Reconfigure report settings if needed and escalate issues 1:47

• Review report configuration settings for your site.
• If the report is not displaying correctly, contact support for assistance.
• Keep a record of any issues so they can be corrected quickly.

Cautionary Notes

• Do not assume sale lot labels and EID labels behave the same way. Confirm you are editing the correct label type.
• Temporary labels such as sale-specific notes may not persist beyond the current sale.
• Always verify selected animals before using Bulk Update to avoid incorrect labeling.
• If report output looks incorrect, do not manually guess at the fix—contact support for reconfiguration help.

Tips for Efficiency

• Use sorting and filtering to quickly find the EIDs that need changes.
• Apply labels in bulk whenever possible to save time.
• Turn on label columns before editing so you can verify changes immediately.
• Review the Sale Yard Report right after updates to catch issues early.
• Keep commonly used labels standardized so staff apply them consistently.
