Editing a pedigree and information on a pedigree animal

Updating the information in an animal's pedigree can be done while adding the animal to your herd or by clicking on the animal wherever it appears in your animals' pedigrees. All updates made to a pedigree animal record will be applied to all references to that pedigree animal (as well as its pedigree) in your herd data.

Pedigrees imported via the Community Data lookup can be edited using the same steps defined below. This is especially helpful as occasionally there can be errors or omissions in the information provided by our data sources, and you need to be able to correct them.

Update or add new information for the pedigree animal


Once the animal has been added to the pedigree, click on its name to update its Profile information. Once you've made the desired updates, click the Save button at the bottom of the pop-up form. The pedigree will immediately reflect any updates to the pedigree display.

Example of editing a pedigree animal's date of birth:

Change to a different pedigree animal

This will prompt you to use the add pedigree animal flow to add a new animal. When an animal is changed in pedigree, all of the prior animal's ancestors will also be removed, and the linked ancestors of the new pedigree animal will display in the pedigree:
