Mixed Groups

Summary

When managing larger groups of animals, caregivers are often required to conduct feeds/sessions for entire areas/exhibits, or specific groups within an area/exhibit.  The Mixed Groups tool offers Users the flexibility to customize groups of individuals/species in order to simplify feed records and Nutritional Plans; and ultimately save valuable time.

NOTE:  There are two steps when configuring Mixed Groups.  This first step is to create the Mixed Group and assign that group to an Exhibit.  The second step is to assign individuals and/or species to be part of the defined Mixed Group.  This article will demonstrate the first step of this process.
