Create To-Do Lists

1 min

Before you can process your to-do lists in PULSE or the mobile app, you must first generate them in PULSE, or set them up in DairyComp with the \K switch and then send them to PULSE. PULSE then sends them out to the mobile app in its next care package update.

Expand the sections below to learn more:

You can generate worklists in PULSE from multiple locations:

Dairy Reports/WorklistsDairy Reports/Worklists: Use this tab to generate reports or worklists saved from the Gallery.

Template GalleryTemplate Gallery: Use the Gallery to check out available report and worklist options.

Report/Worklist BuilderReport/Worklist Builder: This tool allows you to build custom reports and worklists using an easy drag & drop interface.

See Build a To-Do ListBuild a To-Do List for step-by-step instructions for building a to-do list.

For customers who are familiar with the VAS PCC product, you may already know how to create and send a list to Pocket CowCard handhelds. The command is similar when creating a to-do list to send to PULSE.

Set up the command as shown in the example below:

Start with the SERVER command to define what you want the worklist to do.

Use the \K switch to tell DairyComp to send this list to PULSE.

If you want to define a PostProcess or OnDone command, enter ~ for PostProcess or ^ for OnDone, followed by the command that should be run:

PostProcess Example: SERVER ID VETC FOR VC>2 LHDAT<TODAY \K \~SETVET

OnDone Example: SERVER ID VETC FOR VC>2 LHDAT<TODAY \K \^SETVET

Use caution when scheduling follow‑up routines for DairyComp to run after a list is processed (i.e., PostProcess lists), especially if all animals on the list must be processed before kicking off the next routine. DairyComp does not wait for the entire list to be DONE. It will kick off the follow‑up routines for each animal as it receives notification from the mobile app that the animal is DONE.

IMPORTANT: Be aware that if DairyComp sends multiple versions of the same list to PULSE in one day, the most recent list overwrites the earlier ones but does NOT affect any progress or changes made against the list.

Unlike the Pocket CowCard product, which requests each worklist during a refresh, PULSE does not request worklists from on‑premise DairyComp. Instead, DairyComp must manually send worklists to PULSE. This ensures that on‑premise users control the lists that are sent out to PULSE mobile app.

You can send Platform Worklists from DairyComp manually or schedule DairyComp to send them automatically. Follow the instructions below to proceed.
