Event Lists are a type of worklist that allow you to add events to animals on the list and then mark the animals as DONE. These actionable lists simplify and speed up event entry tasks and help to keep your animal records current.

Begin by selecting **Build Report/Worklist** option from the DairyComp/MyDC menu, clicking the button at the top of the Dairy Reports/Worklists page, or clicking **Customize** from the Template Gallery page. Then use the two-step Report/Worklist Builder to create or edit your Event List.
