Animal identifiers can be added to a request (e.g. movement) in four different ways, depending on how you have collected the identifiers.
Import EID's from stick reader memory
If you have used the Stick Reader to read the animals into groups on the reader then you can download a particular group to the phone. To add a group from the Stick Reader's memory:
Read the EID tags live
Alternatively you can use the live read option to add animals as you read them on the stick reader. To do this:
Manually entering tags for new animals
Entering tags numbers for known animals on holding
Add batch identified animals (Sheep only)
This method can be used if the animals are batch identified or you are only required to record the event on a batch basis.
Data recorded will not appear on your NLMD-LT holding / herd register until it is sent to NLMD-LT.
Any animals which have unsent data can be identified when viewing the list of animals because they will have an indication next to the tag number. The indicators are:
A list of the requests which have not been sent can be viewed by selecting the animal and choosing the 'Activity' tab.
You can send a request (e.g. movement) in one of the following ways:
Immediately after recording
After recording a request press 'Send'. This will save the request to your phone, which will try to immediately send it to NLMD-LT. To use this option you need mobile internet signal or a Wi-Fi connection. If trying to send fails due to lack of signal the request will be saved locally and you will be able to try to send it again later from the 'Activity' list.
Later from the Activity list
After recording a request, just press 'Save'. Later when you have mobile internet signal or Wi-Fi connection, open the Activity list by pressing the envelope at the top of the screen or by pressing the synchronise button on the home screen.You can select each request you want to send and press 'Send' or you can press the send all button.
After recording a request, just press 'Save'. Later when you have mobile internet signal or Wi-Fi connection, open the Activity list by pressing the CLOUD at the top of the screen or (see below for meaning of the number in the CLOUD) or by pressing the synchronise button on the home screen.You can select each request you want to send and press 'Send' or you can press the send all button.
The Activity list groups the requests into categories indicating the type of the result and what you can do about it. A category may contain many different types of request, for any species. For example you might have 'Unsent' requests for a Medicine Purchase, a Cattle Treatment, and a Sheep Movement. Each category is expanded by pressing on it, so that you can see the requests in the category. Each request can be further examined by pressing on it. Many of the categories also have a button on the right that performs on all the requests in the category the most likely action that you might wish to perform.
When a request is sent to NLMD-LT, it may be placed in one of the following categories:
The synchronise button on the home screen has three numbers to indicate the number of requests in a category which you must do something about. The diagram below shows each number's location, colour and meaning.
You will also see a number in the CLOUD shown at the top of the animal list screen. The number will be flashing with the count of request responses from NLMD-LT that require user input. If the number is not flashing, the responses are for user notification only.
Sheep movements can be forwarded to the relevant statutory database. In England this is ARAMS, in Scotland it is ScotEID and in Wales it is EIDCymru. To enable this, you must first configure the relevant forwarding details for ARAMS, EIDCymru or ScotEID. To forward a request you then just record and send the request to NLMD-LT as normal. When the request is successfully sent, a message will appear asking if you want to forward the request and give you three options: now, later or never.
'Now' will trigger the request to be immediately forwarded to the indicated statutory database. 'Later' will not forward the request, you can trigger it to be forwarded via the NLMD-LT website or by selecting the request from the list shown after tapping the 'Activity' icon on the app toolbar (the envelope with the number of active alerts). In the Activity list, you can select and forward individual requests or forward all using the forward all button. 'Never' will not forward the request, but the data recorded will still appear in your holding register.
If this message doesn't appear, the request has not been forwarded. This could be because you have not set up forwarding for the particular holding involved or you are sending animals to a market or collection centre in England.
You can print a completed movement document form by logging in to the NLMD-LT website and selecting Reports > Movements.
Cattle births, movements and deaths can be forwarded to BCMS but before this can be done you must setup BCMS. To send a request to BCMS, record and send the request to NLMD-LT as normal. When the request is successfully sent you will be asked if you want to forward to BCMS and given three options to send: now, later or never.
'Now' will trigger the request to be sent to BCMS immediately. 'Later' will not send the request to BCMS, you can trigger it to be sent via the NLMD-LT website or by selecting the request from the list shown after tapping the 'Activity' icon on the app toolbar (the envelope with the number of active alerts). In the Activity list, you can select and forward individual requests or forward all using the forward all button. 'Never' will not send the request to BCMS, but the data recorded will still appear in your herd register.If this message doesn't appear, the request has not been forwarded to BCMS. This could be because you haven't setup BCMS for the particular holding involved or NLMD-LT found errors with the request.
Requests aren't sent to BCMS immediately and BCMS sometimes take up to 24 hours to process and return the result. When BCMS have processed your request, NLMD-LT will send a notification to the app informing you of the result. Notifications appear on the lock screen or can be found by swiping down from the top of the screen. Press (or swipe when on the lock screen) the notification message and the app will be loaded with details of the request.
The result notification contains the BCMS Receipt ID and BCMS status, if the BCMS status is success and there is a receipt ID it means the request was successfully sent to BCMS. If BCMS reported error, details of the errors reported will be shown. To resolve any errors you will need to login to the NLMD-LT website and select Manage Holdings > BCMS > Send / Review Result, for details see the sending to BCMS guide.
If you don't receive a notification of the BCMS result within 24 hours, you should manually check the BCMS status by selecting the 'Activty' list, then the appropriate request then press the 'Refresh' button. You can refresh all 'Forwarding' requests by pressing the refresh all button.
