Reports, Backup & Settings
Print the whole farm or one horse, keep a portable backup, move to a new device, and tailor the app's lists and constants to your operation.
01Where your data lives
Everything you enter is saved automatically in the browser you are using, on the device you are using. Nothing is uploaded to a server. That keeps your farm private, and it means the backup is your responsibility.
- Clearing browsing data or site data
- Using a private or incognito window (data is discarded when it closes)
- Some phone storage-cleanup apps, or a browser reinstall
- Using a different browser on the same computer: it won't see the other browser's data
02Printing reports
Reports tab · Print a report
- Choose a report scope:
- Comprehensive farm report: walks every horse, field, forage lot, and biosecurity item.
- Daily feed chart (barn sheet): pounds of hay per horse, AM and PM, for this month.
- An individual horse or field: one sheet for a vet visit, a sale, a boarder, or a lease.
- Press Preview. The exact printout renders beneath the page.
- Press Download / print, then print or choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog.
Post the barn sheet where hay is thrown and reprint it monthly. Bring a horse report to the vet. Attach the farm report to a loan application, insurance file, or AEM plan.
03Backing up and moving devices
Settings · Save to file · Open a saved file
- Save to file downloads the whole farm, including your settings, as one file. Name it with the date, and keep copies somewhere other than the device: email, a cloud drive, or a USB stick.
- Open a saved file loads a backup. Use it to restore after data loss or to pick up on another device.
Moving to a new phone or computer
- On the old device: Save to file.
- Send the file to the new device.
- On the new device: open the app, then Open a saved file.
Two devices don't sync. If two people enter records on two devices, one set will be lost when a file is opened over the other. Pick one device as the working copy, or pass the file back and forth deliberately.
A backup rhythm that works: after any big data entry, at the end of each month, and always before Clear everything or Reset.
04Settings: lists and constants
Settings holds the dropdown lists used across the tabs (classes, work types, record types, and so on) and the calculation constants behind the estimates. Edit them to fit your operation.
- Removing an option does not change horses or records already using it; their value is kept and still shows.
- Settings save with the farm, so they travel in your Save-to-file backup.
- Change constants only when you have a reason, such as measured feeding waste or your own pasture yields, and note what you changed.
05Integrity check, reset, and clear
| Button | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Run integrity check | Looks for records that point to missing horses, fields, or cuttings | After renaming or deleting, or when a figure looks wrong |
| Reset to JoGlenn sample | Replaces your data with the example farm | To explore or demonstrate the app. Save first. |
| Clear everything | Erases the farm from this browser | To start fresh. Save first; this cannot be undone. |
06Privacy
Farm data stays in your browser on your device. The optional Join the beta sign-up opens your own email app with a short note to the support inbox; nothing is sent unless you press send. The app is free to use; optional contributions toward its upkeep are welcome but never required.
