Copy

When there are multiple animals with a lot of identical data (e.g. a litter of puppies: data about parents, date of birth, date of registration, type, breed, etc.), we can enter the first animal, and for the others, we use the data copying functionality and only correct those data that are different. This way, we speed up the entry and reduce the possibility of errors during input.  

In this chapter, we will present an example of copying data when creating a code for a puppy. The functionality is located in the menu  Veterinary | Codes |​ Owner and animal codes.

TIP For more detailed information about the program forms, read in the PANTHEON VET Guide, in the chapter Animal overview.

CASE DESCRIPTION The owner Jasna Jerebičar brings a litter of puppies to the veterinary clinic. The veterinarian chips them and enters the data into the PANTHEON VET program. The procedure is described below.

• The responsible person in the veterinary clinic enters the data for the first puppy. The detailed procedure is described in the chapter Entering a dog. 

• To enter the code for the next puppy, click the button Copy. 

​

• The program returns the information: 'Do you want to copy the animal?'

​

• The responsible person clicks the button Confirm. The program creates a new record for the animal, where it copies the data and in the fields where a mandatory correction is needed, it adds an additional character '?'​

​

WARNING The program adds an additional character '?' for data where duplication is not allowed. This occurs in the fields: Animal ID and Passport number (o).

• The responsible person corrects the data. In the field Animal ID enters the correct label. In our case: 705035040666256.
