Best Practices
🎯 Use Descriptive Titles
Make titles specific: "Heat Stress - July 2024" instead of just "Health Note". This helps you find information quickly later.
🎯 Date Your Observations
While notes are automatically timestamped, include dates in your content for events that happened in the past.
🎯 Organize Attachments
Use consistent naming: "2024-12-ARBA-Registration.pdf" makes files easier to identify than "scan0001.pdf".
🎯 Regular Updates
Add notes after each breeding, show, or health event. Fresh observations are more accurate than trying to remember later.
🎯 Scan Important Documents
Create digital copies of paper records. Upload registration papers, health certificates, and purchase receipts for safekeeping.
Organization Strategies
Note Categories
Start note titles with category prefixes for easy scanning:
- [BREED] - Breeding performance notes
- [HEALTH] - Medical and health observations
- [SHOW] - Show results and judge comments
- [TEMP] - Temperament and behavior
- [FEED] - Feeding and nutrition notes
- [GEN] - General observations
Attachment Naming Convention
Develop a consistent file naming system:
Example: 2024-12-15-REG-ARBA-Certificate.pdf
Example: 2024-11-20-HEALTH-Vet-Checkup.jpg
