Configuration & Customization
How do I configure my farm (species, breeds, statuses…)?
The Configuration page lets you fully customize your farm: add or edit species, breeds, colors/mutations, statuses, health monitoring types, exhibition types and expense categories. Each configuration can have its own color and icon. Species, breeds, colors and tags each have their own tab. Everything else is in the Statuses tab, where the “Filter by type” list picks what you edit: bird statuses, health types, egg statuses, pair statuses, expense categories or exhibition types. If you keep racing pigeons, the same list also offers “Race Levels” and “Race Categories”.
How do I customize the sidebar?
In the Configuration page, 'Navigation' tab, you can reorder the displayed modules and hide those you don't use. This order also applies to the navigation buttons on mobile. The sidebar can also be collapsed to compact mode (icons only) by clicking the collapse button at the bottom. The state is remembered between sessions.
How do I configure species in detail?
Each species can have a name, an emoji, an incubation period in days (used for automatic hatching calculation), a typical clutch size, an interval between eggs and a banding delay in days. You can create new species according to your needs.
How do breeds and colors work per species?
Breeds and colors are linked to a species. Filter by species to see only the associated breeds or colors. Colors can have a hexadecimal code for a visual preview. You cannot delete a breed or color already used by a bird, the application will notify you.
How do I customize statuses, types and categories?
Everything happens in the Configuration page, Statuses tab. The “Filter by type” list picks what you edit: “Bird statuses”, “Health Types”, “Egg statuses”, “Pair statuses”, “Expense Categories” or “Exhibition Types” (plus race levels and categories if you keep racing pigeons). Each item can have a custom name, color and icon. Default system statuses are locked but you can create as many as you need. A status in use cannot be deleted.
Can default elements be modified or deleted?
Elements marked as 'System' (default species, breeds, colors, statuses) cannot be deleted. However, you can disable them so they no longer appear in selection lists. Your custom elements are fully editable and deletable, as long as they are not used by existing data.
How do I set the default view for a module?
In the Configuration page, you can set whether each module opens in grid, list or table view by default. You can also choose whether a module opens directly in full screen (maximized) on desktop. These default views only apply on a computer: on a phone, lists always open as a list.
Is the configuration synchronized across my devices?
Yes, your configuration is stored on the server and synchronized across all your devices: you find the same sidebar organization and the same settings everywhere. The dashboard has two layouts, one for computers and tablets and one for phones, since a single column is not arranged like a grid. Each one follows you from one device to another of the same type, and changing one does not affect the other.
Can I reset the dashboard or sidebar configuration?
Yes. For the dashboard, click 'Customize' and then 'Reset': after confirmation, the original layout replaces yours on the type of device you are using (computer or phone), and nothing is saved until you click 'Done'. For the sidebar, the 'Navigation' tab of the Configuration page has its own 'Reset' button.
