FeedComp's automatic feeding schedule reset (officially referred to as the Start of Day for Feeding) refreshes the feeding schedule every night for the next day. This transition ensures that all feedings from the previous day are cleared and the new day's tasks are populated.
By default, FeedComp restarts the feeding schedule at 12:00 AM in your time zone. During this reset:
- Schedule Update: Completed feedings from the previous day are cleared, and the new day's schedule is generated.
- Mobile App Status: All feedings are updated to a Pending status on the mobile app.
- Recalculations: Any pending changes to "splits" (divided feedings) are applied and recalculated.
Important Considerations
- Time Zone Coordination: Software releases and system updates are scheduled to minimize disruption to the midnight reset, with particular consideration for Pacific Time Zone farms to avoid interrupting late‑night feedings.
- Start of Day Configuration: If feeding cards appear late or do not reset as expected, check that the Start of Day has not been set to a midday time (for example, 12:00 PM), which can delay card resets.
- Reporting Impact: Any feedings left in a Pending state from the previous day at the time of the reset are recorded as Missing in the Feed History Report.
- In‑Progress Feedings: If a feeding is in progress during the reset, it is moved back to a Pending state for the new day.
- Permissions: Accessing or modifying these settings requires the FeedConfiguration permission to be assigned to your user profile.
See System Settings for instructions on setting the feeding start time.
