Utility screens. See

The following screen is displayed:

need to be a registered member of the CCIA before entering this data.

3. If the Date of Birth displays as blank, click the drop down arrow and

select the birth-date.

Note: This field defaults to the current date. If one animal is selected, the

birth-date of that animal can be entered, for a group of animals, enter a

date at the beginning of the calving season. You cannot enter a date

greater than the current date.

4. Enter optional information in the Comment field.

5. Check the Open CLTS website on finish, if you want to open your

web browser and display the CLTS website once the file has been

created.

the file is found will be displayed.

The check box Copy the path to the clipboard for me is checked by
