You can add and edit breeding tasks via the profile of your mares.
Go to the Mare Profile and then navigate to the Breeding tab.
You will now see a Bookings sub-tab, which is the default sub-tab.
Every booking for the mare is shown in this screen, regardless whether:
1. the booking is to a Stallion standing on your farm or to an outside Stallion; or
2. the booking is Confirmed or Unconfirmed; or
3. a Cover Date is set or not.
Use the Add Breeding Task action on the relevant Booking.
You can then select from the defined list of breeding tasks.
Click the Booking row to display the task or tasks you add.
You can complete and/or edit these tasks using the Action icons as normal. Input notes as required.
Edit or complete breeding tasks and record the actual time and result, and optionally add notes
Upon completion of some tasks, other tasks may be created automatically or semi-automatically via a pop-up window.

Pregnancy scan tasks and the foaling task are now created progressively as tasks are completed, rather than created all at once. This reduces the number of future tasks in the system and on the breeding worksheet, beyond the next sequential task.
The sequence of tasks is as follows:
Note that you may record a pregnancy scan as 'Negative', but later modify that result to 'Positive' upon re-examination at a later date. In such cases when a scan result is changed to 'Positive', the next sequential scan task or foaling task will be automatically created.
