Are you new to the Connecterra Platform? This article will help you understand the key features and how to use them to support your work.
Welcome to the Connecterra Platform! In this article we'll guide you through 3 key features to help you get the best value from the start.
We'll cover:
Keep a record of events on the farm and quantify their impact on metrics
The Farm Timeline displays events and changes on the farm in chronological order, supporting record keeping and providing context for better analysis. Some events are added automatically, for example, when you give feedback on an Insight. We also automatically add ration changes from specific feed software*. You can add events manually to keep a record and understand how changes you make impact key metrics.
Want to better understand the impact of your interventions? Start tracking how changes you make impact behavior, production and feed metrics.
The app will now start tracking how this change impacts key metrics, such as milk production, dry matter intake, eating and ruminating time, and more. The first results will be ready after 3 days, followed by 1, 2 and 4 weeks. You can easily review them from the Farm Timeline section of the overview dashboard. Simply click on the event to view tracking results.
*We’re currently automatically adding ration change events from EZfeed to the Farm Timeline and working on adding more integrations.
Analyze and compare farm metrics to spot trends, issues and opportunities
On the Analytics page you can view all the metrics available on your farm with interactive charts. You will start with our default dashboards, such as Production, Reproduction, Feed, Behavior, Health, Weather etc. Explore the available charts by clicking through the dashboards (or tabs) at the top. You can customize these dashboards by adding or removing charts, or create new dashboards to save the metrics most relevant for you in a single place.
Click on a chart to expand it. You can add filters to view specific groups, pens, lactation groups, etc., or change the timeframe to focus on the period most relevant for you. The Events toggle lets you view events added on the Farm timeline overlaid on the chart, to provide more context on changes.
Start from an existing dashboards and customize it to best suit your needs.
Invite your team to join your farm on the Platform to simplify collaboration.
Your advisor simply has to accept the invitation they receive via email and create an account. The Platform enables them to stay up to date with changes on the farm, simplify analysis, proactively address issues and give data-driven recommendations. Now you'll get even more value from your data!
