Reports Overview
The Reports feature in Cattle360 lets you build custom reports to view your herd data in flexible, filtered views with the columns you choose.
What Are Reports?
A report is a saved view of your animal data with:
- Custom columns — Choose which fields to display (e.g., ear tag, weight, birth date, breeding status).
- Filter criteria — Define which animals appear in the report (e.g., all active cows, all calves born this year).
- Saved configuration — Reports are saved so you can run them again at any time with up-to-date data.
Reports vs. Groups
| Feature | Reports | Smart Groups |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | View and analyze data with custom columns | Organize animals into collections |
| Custom columns | Yes — choose any combination of fields | Yes — customizable per group |
| Filter criteria | Yes — flexible filtering | Yes — criteria-based membership |
| Show on Dashboard | No | Yes |
| Used in Market Intelligence | No | Yes |
| Used in Financials | No | Yes |
Reports are best for data analysis and review, while groups are best for ongoing animal management.
What Else Is on the Reports Dashboard
Saved custom reports are one of three things you will find there:
- Built-in Reports — five ready-made reports that reach data a custom report cannot: individual treatment records and breeding records, with dates calculated against today. Vaccinations, Withdrawal / Waiting Period, Booster & Treatment Due, Calving Window and Pasture Inventory. They require a paid plan. See Built-in Reports Overview.
- Fieldsheets — printable forms with your data filled in and blank columns to write on in the field. See Fieldsheets Overview.
- Financial reports — profit and loss, and profitability by group. See Financial Management.
A saved report can be turned straight into a fieldsheet, carrying its criteria, columns and sort order across.
Where to Access Reports
