Displaying Recalls

The system allows up to 252 different recalls. Any animal can have up to 10 of these allocated to them.

Recalls are not limited to just vaccinations, they can be used for any form of reminder you want e.g. Attended farms, PDSA periods, puppy parties etc.

The management record will show the current status of the Vaccination recall and if any of the other 10 recalls are due/overdue. To see the full details or edit any of the recall dates you should use the option 'V'acc on the management prompt line.

If you want to see the Last Vaccination Date rather than the status then set the option

{Classic} General Apps -> Params -> Fields -> Option -> More -> 2 to Yes.
{New Style} System -> Setup -> Params -> Fields -> Option -> More -> 2 to Yes.

The recall screen will display something similar too:

Colour events 221 to 224 can be set to alter the colours of the headings and status (e.g. overdue etc.) to allow the status to be quickly checked.

The lower section of the screen will display:

Recall Type
The description of the recall.
Last
The date the procedure generating the recall was last given.
Interval
How many week until it is due to be given again.
Due
Based on the Last done date and the recall interval this shows the Month and year when the recall will fall due.
Status
If the recall is: Overdue, Current, Due in the Next 30 days.

Prompt Options

You have the option to Edit/Delete any of the details. An invisible option 'X' (for xud) is present to force the recall dates to the remote sites if needed.

The Print option will printout a 'Summary Sheet' that shows all the recall details. This can be customised by two definition files :

mrvacc.topReplaces the text at the top
mrvacc.botAdds additional text to the bottom
The Reserved words from Table 1 and Table 10 can be used.

Adding New Recalls

New Recall types are set via :

{Classic} Gen Apps -> Params -> Lookup -> Breeds -> Recalls
{New Style} System -> Setup -> Params -> Lookup -> Breeds -> Recalls

It is advisable to ensure that recall type 1 is set to Vaccination. The system will automatically set recall type 2 & 3 to that set on the previous version of PV5. Recall interval (optional), if you want to specify a default interval (in weeks), then add this to the end of the recall description prefix with a colon e.g.

Dental :26
Vaccination :52

Pseudo Recalls

 Recall types 240-252 are 'pseudo' recalls, that is, they are updated in exactly the same way as the others except, that when any recall is due/overdue a box will pop-up when the management card is displayed asking the user to check to see if 'whatever the recall is called' is still valid. The primary use would be something like clients on the PDSA scheme and the pop-up would ask the user to check the status of their benefit or farmers where you update a recall when you last physically attended the farm. These recalls (240-252) will be excluded from the 'Include all codes' option in the recalling programs, however you could still specify them as individual codes.

Colour event 224 can be set to alter the colours of the headings on the vaccination screen.

Updating the Recall

Recalls can be updated via the following options:
