How to Create a New Animal
Add a single animal record when you need more precision than the bulk Breeding Animals flow — for example, when importing a single donor, recording a new arrival, or correcting a one-off record.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Open the Animal page
From the navigation menu, click Animal to open the animal records.
2
Start a new animal
In the animal table view, click Add Animal at the top of the page.
3
Fill in the animal form
On the Single Animal tab, fill the required fields:
- Physical Tag
- Sex (Male or Female)
- Strain
- Genes
- Allele
- Date of Birth
- Owner
Optional fields: Cage Tag, Cage, Wean Date, Comment.
4
Save the animal
Click Save to create the record. The animal appears at the top of the animal table.
5
Or bulk-create via Breeding Animals
If you need to add more than one animal, switch to the Breeding Animals tab for the bulk flow. See How to Add Breeding Animals for the full walkthrough.
