When adding a new trait to an animal and the measurement option is not available.

Step 1

Go to Setup > Performance > Traits

Step 2

Select the relevant trait, then click the Edit button.

Step 3

Make sure one of the Live Data Entry/Import Options is ticked.

• SB Index: For recording traits that will have a value between 1 and 10. Values for traits using this option must be a whole number, and cannot contain letters.
• Value (measured): For recording traits that are measured (e.g. cm,mm), such as Hip Height or Scrotal Circumference. Values for traits using this option can contain any numerical value, and cannot contain letters.
• Score: For recording traits that may not always have a purely numerical value, e.g. A+. Values for traits using this option can contain up to 5 characters (numerical, letters or symbols).

Click the OK button to save changes. You should now be able to add data for this trait through Live Entry or import from a file.
