Improve Schedule / Task System
Earlier this year, we added the "Calendar" view to tasks, but we feel the task list itself still needs improvement. So we're working on a new task system that gives a more complete task list that is filterable, and makes it easier to find and complete tasks, properly linking the to appropriate rabbit.
Calendar and Chains views will also still be available, and with an updated design. We're still working on this, but if there is anything specific you'd like to see regarding tasks, please let us know in the comments.

Roxanna Dabney MergedFor the schedule->plans options feature —
I utilize this for planning 6 months of breeding 20 plus rabbits. A view with the ability to see up to 100 planned breeding would be beneficial. In addition, sorting needs to be in ascending order by date, alphabetical order on doe’s name then alphabetical on buck’s name. -

JSH RabbitsA way to select multiple tasks at once for quick removal of completed task. Like a "select all" function.

JSH Rabbits MergedThe ability to select multiple plans would be good too, for example when deleting large amounts of data.

Zeke MergedThis is a little thing, that would make a big impact on streamlining use of Hutch. It would be really nice if clicking/tapping on a breeder or litter task took you to the breeder or litter in question.
Need to sex litter VH3? Right now you would need to go to the litter tab and search for VH3, then select it and open the litter to edit the kits.
With my feature suggestion clicking/tapping on the "Sex Litter VH3" task would take you straight to litter VH3 for editing.
This would be especially helpful for those who have slow devices or poor connection, and could reduce unnecessary strain on servers with less pages and actions being needed (though I doubt it's an issue) -

Hutch Admin Admin MergedThe new Task and Plans system we're working on with have a column specifically for the Doe and the Due Date so it will be easy to sort and filter by these options.

Christi ClydeTo piggy back off this, I would like to see the timeline section for a breeder retain important information such as date last bred, date last kindled etc.

JSH RabbitsGrouping similar tasks that are scheduled to take place on the same day. For example all the rabbits that should kindle, or all the nest boxes that should be put in on which day etc.

LaurenBe able to add notes to a specific task and have them show up under the breeder such as: how many fall offs, what time of day, temperature, weather, ect... So if a breeder is missing, we can try to deduce why. This would be better than exiting the task, returning to the breeder, edit, go to notes, then make the notes with all of the information including the buck and date.

LaurenI have a task in my plan to weigh breeders prior to breeding. I would like this to take me to both breeders for quick weight entry.

JSH RabbitsAt present we have over 80 does and we realize that the scheduling system needs a some improvement. Because we don't always know which rabbits can be bred and sometimes we may miss out rebreeding a rabbit at the selected time. Something we'd like to see or be able to do is to filter out or have a list that tells the status of a breeder whether the rabbit has been bred, or kindled and are nursing as well as those that have not been bred, kindled or are nursing or are too young to be bred. So based on the listing we would be able to tell which rabbits are not pregnant so we know which ones to breed next. The point of the list is we want to be able to quickly tell which rabbits are not pregnant so we can easily identify and rebreed them.

andreaBIGGEST thing for me would be to make sure everything in the chain gets updated if a date gets changed. As of right now, it does not.

JSH RabbitsI agree with Andrea. Any changes made to the breed plan should allow the corresponding data to be automatically updated. This should include a change of date or breeder whether buck or doe.

JSH RabbitsThe cage numbers for the rabbits should definitely be included in the tasks as well, especially for the does. For example we have a doe ID: A122. When A122 is bred and we look at a scheduled task, to palpate or put the nest box in we won't know which cage A122 is in becuase the cage number is not shown. Having the cage number included will be very helpful if you have a large number of breeders and are not able to commit all to memory which rabbit is in which cage.

HercusCan you upgrade it so that we can add a Plan/chain for a litter and not only breeders.
I want to be able to launch a chain/plan for a whole litter eg:
* Weigh 14days
* Weigh 28days
* Weigh 42days
* Butcher 56days
Currently I have to add these tasks manually for each litter and every task making a lot of work. I know there is a weigh and butcher function where you input the info, but we need to be able to show the planning with a reminder on the calendar / task list, where we van tick off the task an then use the weigh and butcher function to insert the data we collected when completing the task. -

beccathis might be a good place to add my suggestion of having a section showing what junior rabbits are coming to breeding age so I can easily see what breedings I need to plan

Everbreed Admin AdminOur new tasks system is now complete and being released to beta testers. Over the next few weeks, we'll release it slowly to the rest of our users, as we make any necessary improvements along the way. Thank you for your feedback on this feature! It's a HUGE improvement over what we had before. Enjoy!

JSH RabbitsI believe we should be able to add tasks for breeders that take place after kindling/birth. As it is now if you add a task to the breed chain, that takes place after kindling, the added task doesnt show in the schedule.

Everbreed Admin AdminJSH Rabbits: To add a task for a breeder outside of a breed template, there is no need to edit the template. Simply create a new task from the Schedule page and assign it to the breeder on the date you want.

Hercus SchoonwinkelHi, the new calendar system again shows ALL the past present and future tasks. Can you again change it so that only current and future tasks are shown, or at least give us an option on whether or not we want to see the past tasks or not, as the multitude of tasks showing on my calendar is overwhelming. I understand smaller breeders wanting to see the previous ones but with the amount of breeders i handle, and will still be handling its just to much to see all of it at once and not miss something that needs to be done.

Everbreed Admin AdminHercus, if you're looking on the new Schedule page, make sure you're looking at the "Active" tab. That will only show tasks that still need to be completed. Any tasks that have already been completed are moved to the "Archived" tab. However, if you have tasks in the past that you didn't mark as complete, these will still show up, so be sure to either mark them complete (just check the box), or delete them if you don't want to see them along with your active tasks. Also, if you're looking at the task list on the dashboard, this has not yet been updated but will come with a new dashboard update soon that's better reflective of the new task system. For now, it's best to use the Schedule page for task management.

Everbreed Admin AdminHercus – actually, I'm sorry. I just realized you were talking about the "Calendar" view. This is a good suggestion. We'll look into adding the same task status filters that are on the List view, to the calendar view. Thanks for the feedback!

JSH Rabbits"I believe we should be able to add tasks for breeders that take place after kindling/birth. As it is now if you add a task to the breed chain, that takes place after kindling, the added task doesnt show in the schedule." The reason why I asked for this was because I wanted to add the same task to all the breeders I breed every week, not just 1 single breeder. For example if I breed 10 rabbits a weekly and I medicate them after they kindle. I want to add the "medicate rabbit" task to those 10 breeders. It would be very time consuming if I should add the task individually to those 10, and then the following week when I breed another 10 to add the task individually again and so on and so forth, as every week I breed a different set of 10. So a solution for me would be to be able to add the task to the chain so it would apply to all the breeders who use that chain, after they kindle and I would not have to manually add the task for individual rabbits into perpetuity.

Everbreed Admin AdminJSH Rabbitry – for your situation, to solution is to simply add the medication task to the Breeder Task Template on the Settings -> Schedule page. Then whenever you create a breeding, simply select that Breeder Task Template, and all the tasks, including the medication task, will automatically be added to your calendar for you.
If you want to medicate weekly, there currently isn't an option for recurring tasks, but this will be part of our Health Tracker system soon. In the mean time, you could simply add a series of medical treatments to the task template. If you need further help with setting all this up, please reach out to our Support team at [email protected].
