Convert Reminder(s) to Event(s) Dialog

You use the Convert Reminders dialog to transform one or more reminders into actual events. You can get to this dialog from the Reminder View by selecting one or more reminders of the same type and pressing the Cvrt button.

For example, suppose that you are looking at a reminder list for a certain type of vaccination. Today you vaccinated these animals and you want to record this as an event. You can select all of the reminders for this vaccination in the Reminder View and then convert them automatically to actual events without having to re-enter the information.

Actual Date

This shows the actual date of the event. It defaults to the date of the reminder, but you can change this value. See Entering Dates.

Operator

Select the name of the operator who observed or recorded this event.

Event Type

This shows the type of reminder that is being converted to an event. You cannot change this value.

 

Cost

Enter the cost of this event, if you are using DairyLive for tracking event costs. The default for the cost will depend on how the event type is set up.

 

Notes

You can type any additional comments about the event into this field.

 

Additional Event Information

Depending on what type of event this is, this table will prompt you for additional information about the event. You can change this information if you want.

 

Create These Reminders

Sometimes converting a reminder to an event will cause one or more reminders to be added to the herd database for these animals. If so, these will appear in this list. You can delete any of these, add new ones, or change the reminder dates before pressing OK. To add a new item, press the + button to create a new row. To delete an item, select the item and then press the - button.
