The following amendments and enhancements have been made to CATTLEdata. Please read this document carefully there are some important changes.

Mail - Several Changes have been made to this section.

i You can now create a text file containing the animals that you intend to claim for Suckler Cow Premium for submitting electronically to the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD). Please refer to the online help for further information.

ii You can now create a text file to import registration into the CTS online web site. Register calves through the usual Calf Occurrence, Premium routine. Then go to Mail -> Register by CTS Online. This follows the same routine as the Mail Registrations but creates a file beginning PASS000?.csv  in the Farmdata\Cattle32\Mail folder

You can then use the 'Register Birth by Import File' import this file into the CTS online 

ii The text files created in Mail Registrations and Mail Movements no longer overwrite the previous files created. Each is individually numbered, the new names of these files are:

                                    Registrations       CTS Reg                    Movements

Conformance Tests      PASS0000             Not Applicable            MOVE0000

Live Data 1                  PASS0001             PASS0001.csv           MOVE0001

Live Data 2                  PASS0002             PASS0002.csv           MOVE0002

          iii When you save the animals in Mail Registrations and Mail Movements you can now obtain a printout of the contents of the text file.

        Other small issues which have come to light have been sorted.
