DC on Mobile Release v1.7 - October 2024

DC on Mobile v1.7 is now available! We continued to focus on RFID scanner performance in this release, and we expanded the following enhancements and improvements:

  • RFID scanning is now even faster! See RFID Scanners (v2) to learn more about using scanners.
  • The new Transaction Log feature now includes search, filter, and sort options to help you quickly find transactions you've completed in the past 14 days. See Transaction Log (v2) to learn more!
  • When you scan an animal in a pen, the SCPENClosed IDClosed is also included in the Transaction Log. This provides a handy visual cue while monitoring the changes for a specific pen.
  • We removed the sign-up feature from the log in flow. If you want to sign up new users, see Invite a User to Your Dairy. To deactivate a user, see Remove a Dairy User.
