How to schedule a move for a mob on the mobile app

This Mobile App guide shows you how to schedule a future move for one of your mobs. Scheduling moves ahead of time lets you plan grazing rotations in advance — your animals will automatically shift to the next paddock at the time you set.

Step 1. From the map screen, tap Mobs in the bottom toolbar to open the mobs list.	Step 2. Select the mob you want to move. The mob panel will open showing the current virtual paddock and MOVES (0).	Step 3. Tap the orange + Add New Schedule Move button at the bottom of the panel.

Step 4. Select the destination virtual paddock from the grid. The mob's current paddock is highlighted in orange.	Step 5. The calendar will open with a default start time. Adjust the start date and time as needed.	Step 6. Tap the END card and adjust the end date and time using the circular time picker.

Step 7. (Optional) Toggle Until further notice on to leave the move open-ended — the mob will stay in the new paddock until you cancel or schedule another move.	Step 8. Tap Save at the bottom. A green Scheduled move created message confirms the schedule, and the MOVES count on the mob panel will update.

Summary

This guide explains how to schedule a future move for a mob in the eShepherd Mobile App. Scheduled moves let you plan grazing rotations in advance, automating paddock transitions and reducing the need to manually move stock between virtual paddocks.
