Reopening and Removing a Check

A finished check isn’t the end of it. You can put one back in progress, or take one off the list entirely.

Reopening a Check

Finishing is the only way to record what you didn’t see, so it gets used as a stopping point as much as a completion — a ride cut short gets finished off in the field and picked up hours later. Reopening carries that roster on instead of starting a second check over the same ground.

1. On the Checks dashboard, find the completed check.
2. Click the pencil icon on the card.
3. Confirm. The message tells you how many not-seen animals will go back on the to-find list.

The check goes back to In Progress and its card moves up into the in-progress group, which is how you know it worked. Tap it from there to carry on.

• Everything you already found stays found. Only the animals recorded as not seen go back to To Find.
• The reopen button only appears on a completed check. An open one is already where reopening would put it.
• Last Seen is recalculated when you finish again, because only completed checks count.

Removing a Check

1. On the Checks dashboard, click the trash icon on the card.
2. Confirm.

The check disappears from the list along with its roster and results.

• Nothing happens to your animals. Removing a check does not change any animal record.
• It does change Last Seen. If an animal’s most recent sighting was on the check you removed, its Last Seen falls back to the one before it — or goes blank if there wasn’t one.

Remove a check that was started by mistake or duplicates another. For a check you simply want to correct, reopen it instead.

Permissions

Reopening and removing need write permission. Read-only users can open and export a check but see no action buttons on the cards.

Tips

• Reopen rather than re-check. Two checks over the same ground on the same day make the history harder to read, and the second starts from nothing.
• Reopen before you sort out a bad roster. If a check was started against the wrong pasture, remove it rather than working through a list that was never right.
