Reducing key strokes for data and item laid entry #
Even though AIMS provides very quick data entry for eggs we are always looking for ways to increase this.
In the main egg data entry page when you enter the laid between dates and times you are given the default values of the current date and time.
In most cases you only normally need to alter the times.
This is done by tabbing from the date from into the time from field, altering the time then tabbing into the date to field and then the time to field.

If the date from is the current date then the time to must also be the current date, as it can’t be in the future.
When you tab out of the time from field AIMS will bypass the date to field and take you straight into the time to field.
When entering a lot of eggs each day this small change saves al lot of keystroke and time.
Adding default egg sterilisation and fertilisation methods #
One the main egg page you can record the method used to sterilise your eggs before placing them in the incubation and the method by whoch the egg was fertilised.
These are normally the same for most users eggs. These can now be set in the preferences and that value will automaticlly be added to a new egg, saving you having to select anything if those methods are applicable for that egg, whcih in mist cases they will be.
