How to use Inbox notifications on DairyLogs

Read DairyLogs Inbox notifications for breeding and herd alerts like dry-off overdue, ready to breed, and calving overdue.

Inbox → Notifications surfaces automated herd and breeding alerts—overdue pregnancy recheck, ready to breed, dry-off overdue, long open days, calving overdue, and similar signals—so you catch status drift even when no one filed a task.

Steps

Open Notifications: Go to Inbox in the sidebar and select the Notifications tab.
Triage by alert type: Scan for breeding and dry-off alerts first. Open the linked animal or breeding record to confirm status against the animal profile.
Resolve in the source module: Fix the underlying event—log a pregnancy check, dry-off, heat/service, or calving—so the alert condition clears on the next refresh.

— FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01What is the difference between Inbox tasks and notifications?

Tasks are actionable work items you can mark completed. Notifications are automated status alerts (for example dry-off overdue or ready to breed) that clear when the underlying record changes.

02Why do I see calving overdue alerts?

A service has an expected calving date that has passed without a calving record. Open Breeding, find the service, and record calving or correct the pregnancy status.

03Can I turn notifications off?

Alerts come from farm activity and species timelines. Adjust species rules and keep breeding records current; email summary frequency is controlled under Settings → Email.
