Understanding the Status Page

The Status page gives you a full picture of your mob's activation history. The card view makes it easier to read at a glance, with colour-coded dots showing the status of every animal in each activation. If you prefer the old layout, you can switch back to the table view at any time using the icon in the top right corner of the Status panel.



Reading the Activation Status Cards


Each card shows the VP name, the mob, the date and time, and the overall status (Completed or Still confirming). Below that, a row of dots represents every animal in that activation. Hover over any dot to see that animal's individual status without opening the card.


The dot colours mean:


  • Green: confirmed. The neckband acknowledged the activation.
  • Grey: overridden. A new VP activation was sent to the mob before this one finished. The previous activation was superseded, meaning the neckbands moved on to the new one.
  • Orange: pending. The neckband has not yet confirmed.
  • Red: cancelled. The activation was cancelled for that animal.


Use the filter buttons at the top of the panel to narrow the list by Mobs, VP, or Status. The download icon exports your filtered results as a CSV.


Moving animals between mobs


When you move an animal to a different mob, no new activation is created. Instead, the animal takes on the mob's current active VP. The activation list sorts by the most recent date and time, so the latest activation always appears at the top.


If you've just moved an animal into a mob that already has an active VP, their most recent activation surfaces at the top of the Status list. You don't need to scroll through history to find it.


Existing activation history stays unchanged and is still accessible by scrolling down.


Summary


The Status page gives you a fast read on your activation history. Colour-coded dots, hover details, and filters help you spot issues and confirm moves quickly. When animals change mobs, the latest activation is always at the top.
