How to view an animal's movement track on the mobile app
This guide is for the eShepherd mobile app. It shows you how to view an individual animal's movement track on the map. Track history is useful for checking where an animal has been grazing, spotting unusual behaviour, or confirming whether a neckband has been moving normally.
Step 1. From the map, find the animal you want to track — every animal in your mob appears as a green dot inside its paddock. | Step 2. Tap the animal's dot to select it. A toolbar appears at the bottom with CLOSE, TRACK, and CHANGE MOB buttons. | Step 3. Tap TRACK. The yellow path shows the animal's recorded movement over the default time range. |

Step 4. To change the time period, tap the date range pill at the bottom of the screen. | Step 5. Pick a new start and end date and time, then tap the orange tick to confirm. The track redraws to show only the movement in this period. | Step 6. Tap any point along the yellow track to see the animal ID, neckband UID, paddock, and the exact timestamp the animal was at that location. |

Summary
This guide shows how to view an animal's movement track over a chosen time period, and how to inspect individual location points along the track. It's a quick way to understand where a single animal has been spending its time within a paddock.
