The Command Line
The Command Line is the feature that sets DairyComp apart from other herd management software. It gives you quick access to individual CowCards, data entry, reports, and more.

Greyed Out Command Line
If the command line is greyed out, press [esc] or select the command line so it turns white and you see the cursor flashing. A greyed-out command line will not allow tasks to run, Pocket CowCard to refresh, etc. See the example picture below.
