Getting Started:

1. Are you currently at the most recent version of NxGen? • As discussed in the Tutorial Videos, the Auto Update function in Cow Sense will check for updates on a schedule you determine. However, you can perform this check manually from the Top Menu by selecting Help > Check for Update and follow the prompts to update NxGen.

2. Enable the AGA Interface • From the Tools section on the Task Pane on the left, select Tools > Partner > Setup.

• The Interface Options window will open. Scroll down the list and find Gelbvieh Association. NGPG_007 - Page: 2 of 16 Place a check mark in the “On/Off” column to turn ON the Gelbvieh Association interface. Click OK when finished.

• You will now have a Gelbvieh tab in the Individual Animal form (Manage > Individual). When data is received and imported from the AGA, these fields will be populated.

3. Import Herd File from AGA Registry

• In the event you are new to Cow Sense and wish to create your initial herd file from data recorded in the AGA Registry or wish to add animal records from the AGA Registry that do not exist in your Cow Sense Herd file, the Import Herdfile function of the Partner Exchange Tool meets both needs. This function will search the Cow Sense herd file and add any records not found.

• If your Cow Sense Herd File already includes this data then please proceed to section “4 Prepare data for submission to the AGA”.

• The first step to add data from the AGA Registry is to retrieve your data. NGPG_007 - Page: 3 of 16 o Log in to your Online Registry account from the AGA website https://gelbvieh.digitalbeef.com/index.php

o From the Menu on the left choose Tools > Integration > Download

• Select Cow Sense from the list of 3rd Party Vendors.

• Then follow the 3 steps to Select, Compile and build the downloadable spreadsheet of the animal records you wish to add/update in Cow Sense

• Save the file named “cowsense_herdfile.csv” where it will be easy to find. Dependent upon the Internet browser used it may automatically save to your Downloads folder.

• Launch the Partner Exchange Tool from the Task Menu on the left choose Tools > Partner > Run.

• From the PET Step 1 window, select Gelbvieh Association from the Partnership drop-down. NGPG_005 - Page: 4 of 16 Click Next.

• The PET Step 2 Window allows you to select the Partner Function you wish to perform. In this case choose “Import - Herd File”. Click “Next.”

• The PET Step 3 Window

allows you to select the

partnership file which you had saved earlier when

downloaded from the

AGA Registry by

selecting the Browse

Button. Navigate to the file named “cowsense_herdfile.csv”

and click “Open”. Then

click the “Import” button.

• The PET Step 4 Window NGPG_005 - Page: 5 of 16 provides a summary of the Import Process and details the number of records read, updated and added. To prevent duplicates when adding records PET first checks for the Registration Number on the Gelbvieh Tab, then for any matching Registration Number on the Identity Tab. If no match is found it then checks for a matching Tattoo in combination with Birth Date. Click the “Diskette” icon at the bottom to save this information to a text file. When complete choose the “Exit” button to leave the Partner Exchange Tool and review your data in Cow Sense.

• In the event of Animals that are registered with more than AGA, PET will fill the GV Registration field on the Gelbvieh tab with the AMGV prefixed Registration Number. The Registration Primary field on the Identity Tab will be filled with the Registration number of the original association to which the animal was registered (with no prefix). Then PET will fill the Association code for the original recording association in the Association Primary field on the Identity Tab.

4. Prepare data for submission to the AGA

• Animal records being submitted to the American Gelbvieh Association through the Partner Exchange Tool will be required to have data in certain fields in Cow Sense. You can view the specific fields and their validation requirements in Appendices A through H in the AGA Partner Exchange Reference Tables. It is VERY IMPORTANT that all records to be submitted to AGA meet their requirements, or the submission will be returned. • Different export types (i.e. initial Registration submission versus a Yearling performance submission) will have different required fields.

o NOTE: You may need to turn these required fields on in Options > Data Field Settings > Standard Fields.

▪ If you need further guidance to enable these fields, please see the Video Tutorial “Getting Started”. You can find this video tutorial, and many others from the Cow Sense Top Menu choose Help > Tutorial. • Required data can be entered in the Individual Animal Form in Manage > Individual as well as through any of the Process Functions (Calving, Weaning or Yearling). You can also create a review of animal records in the Animal List View (Animal List - Manage > List). Set up and Save a Report Layout containing the fields of data required for your submission to AGA. Review, add, or edit data in List View as well. (See the Animal List Tutorial for additional information).

o Tips. If the missing required data is available in another electronic format such as Excel, it can be imported into NxGen by using the Import Tool (see the Import Tool Video Tutorials). Another useful tool for adding required data which is repetitive for many animal records is the Global Edit function. From the Tools Menu choose > Global Edit. The NxGen Guide 6 is an excellent resource for using this function: http://www.cowsense.com/ng/docs/guides/ngg_006.pdf o When you execute any of the AGA PET Export functions, PET will generate an export file that complies with association requirements. When the export displays, review the data for completeness and accuracy before sending to the association.

• Once data entry is complete, animals to be submitted to the AGA should be Marked. NGPG_005 - Page: 6 of 16 o This can be done in the Individual Animal Form by checking the box on the Identity Marker field, or by marking animals in the Animal List (Manage > List). For more information on sorting and marking animals in the List View, refer to the Animal List Tutorial.

5. Exporting data to the AGA

• Launch the Partner Exchange Tool from the Task Menu on the left choose Tools > Partner > Run .

• In the PET Step 1 window, make sure Gelbvieh Association is selected in the Partnership drop-down. Click Next.

• The PET Step 2 Window allows you to select the Partner Function you wish to perform. In this example, we will Export - Registration (for submitting records for Registration with calving and weaning data). Other export options procedures are similar and include: o Weaning (for submitting weaning data to be updated for records previously submitted with only calving information), see appendix C o Yearling (for submitting yearling data to update records previously submitted), see appendix D and o Breeding (for submitting optional breeding data for cows), see appendix E

Note that each export type has its own list of required fields for records to be exported, as listed in each Appendix. In this example refer to Appendix B. Export Registration File.

• In PET Step 3, Enter/Verify your Gelbvieh Association member information. Click Next. NGPG_005 - Page: 7 of 16

• PET Step 4 allows you to verify the records you have identified (Marked) for export. Click Next if this list looks correct. o Note: A list of Breeding cows that are not accounted for in the data submission (their progeny are NOT included) will be displayed on the right. This is a useful “check and balance” for your review to ensure you have identified all records you wish to submit. In addition, this can be useful to identify the Cow Records that should be included in the Cow Data Submission.

• In PET Step 5 is a results log of the records to be exported. Data is verified to meet the NGPG_005 - Page: 8 of 16 requirements and the log will display any successes or failures.

• In PET Step 6, choose where you would like the file to be saved on your computer. o Click the Save As button to navigate to the location you wish to save the file.

o By default, PET will save to the Cow Sense folder in your Documents directory. NGPG_005 - Page: 9 of 16 However, you can Browse to any location that you wish and then click “Save”.

Note: the exported file will be named AGA_Registration_(your member number).txt

o Once the location to save the file has been selected, click the Export button. o An Export Complete pane will appear asking if you want to “Open” the file.

• In PET Step 7, review the export results to verify there are no further warnings that need to be NGPG_005 - Page:10 of 16 addressed. o If any warnings are present in the Event Log, return to your herd data and correct the data and re-export the file. You may save or print this log file to reference as you work. Click the Diskette Icon to save or the Printer Icon to print.

o Click Exit when finished.

Locate the file named Registration_(Your Member Number).txt. Use this file to proofread the data being submitted to the Association by opening it in Excel or another spreadsheet program so you review the file in a more useful format.

• Hint: Review the Worksheet early on in the process to compare against the respective Reference Table to determine what corrections may need to be made. If you find any mistakes or omissions, correct them in your Cow Sense herd file, and re- export the registration file. • Review the Worksheet against the AGA Requirements for the specific submission available from their Member Login. DO NOT rename the file. DO NOT add, move, or delete columns. If a column is not required, nor applicable to your information being submitted leave it blank. The column must remain in the data in the original order. • Once the data appears to be correct, it is ready to submit to the Association.

6. Submit Data to AGA NGPG_005 - Page:11 of 16 • Once your data has been exported as a clean data file, you may submit it to AGA.

o Log in to your Online Registry account from the AGA website

https://gelbvieh.digitalbeef.com/index.php (note image below and follow the letters)

o Choose Tools (A) > Integration (B) >

Upload (C)

o Select the “Browse” button (D) to

select the file you choose to Upload

from the location you had saved it on

your computer in PET Step 6.

o From the “Data File Contents”

dropdown (E) select the type of data

you wish to Upload

o Upload your data

7. Download updated data from the AGA

• Once your data has been uploaded and processed by AGA, animal updates may be imported into Cow Sense from the American Gelbvieh Association’s website. These updates will populate the Gelbvieh tab in the Individual Animal View.

• Previously in this document we had discussed Importing a herd File to ADD ANIMAL RECORDS to a Cow Sense Herd File. This section will focus on retrieving updates to data from previous Registration Requests, Performance and EPD values generated by AGA.

o Log in to your Online Registry account from the AGA website https://gelbvieh.digitalbeef.com/index.php

• Choose Reports

• The PET for AGA provides Update functions for Custom Reports and EPDs that can be downloaded from the AGA Registry “Standard Customer Reports” page shown below.

• To build an Update Download from the AGA Custom Report Builder, select the “begin” button. NGPG_005 - Page:12 of 16 • A Custom Report Generator screen will appear providing Filters to allow you to just select the records for which you wish to download updated data. Make your selections based upon the data you wish to download. The example below illustrates the default selection for Location, nothing was chosen for Identifier, (A.) Both was selected for Sex, (B.) and a Date Range was included. Choose from the data you wish to be included; the example below illustrates “Select All” (C.).

o Appendix F Import Custom Report reference indicates where data downloaded from an AGA custom report generator is stored in Cow Sense. Note: if you are downloading data to the Traits, performance or Ultrasound fields in Cow Sense it WILL OVERWRITE ANY EXISTING DATA.

• Then choose “Get Spreadsheet” and click “Download Spreadsheet”. Save the spreadsheet to a location locally on your computer that will be easy for you to find later. By default the file will be named “custom_report_(your member number)_(AGA code).xls”.

8. PET Update Data from the AGA into Cow Sense NxGen NGPG_005 - Page:13 of 16 • Once your download is complete, it is time to import the file into Cow Sense. Open the Partner Exchange Tool, and make sure Gelbvieh Association is selected is PET Step 1 and then click the “Next” button.

• In PET Step 2, select Import – Custom Report as the function and click “Next”.

• In PET Step 3, click the “Browse” button to locate your file from AGA that you downloaded and saved earlier. Click on the file and the file name will appear in the field to the left. Select the “Import” button to import the data contained in the file you selected.

• In PET Step 4, a log of the results of the Import function will be displayed. Note that some fields are updated by this Import routine while others are not. A field must be turned on in Cow Sense (Options > Data Field Settings) for it to be updated by this Import function. There may be data fields in the source file from AGA that are not turned on in Cow Sense and they will not be updated but will be recorded in the log file. Scroll down through the Log File to view the summary of the Import displayed at the bottom.

• Any Line Number referenced in the Log File, does not count the header row (so add 1 row NGPG_005 - Page:14 of 16 number). • Click the diskette image at the bottom to save this log for further review, then click the “Exit” button to close PET.

9. Review your updated AGA data

• You can now review the association data updated into your herd. Imported data from the AGA will be located on the Gelbvieh tab in Manage > Individual view. Note if the “GV Modified Field is turned on in Options > Data Field Settings as described previously it will show the date that the data on this tab was last modified.

• You can also create and save any Report Layout (columns and column order) displaying just the AGA data you wish in the Animal List View.

10. Downloading and Importing the AGA EPD Update File NGPG_005 - Page:15 of 16 • This process follows much the same procedure as the PET “Custom Report Import”. (Refer to process 7, page X of this document.) The slight difference is in how the Import File is obtained from the AGA Registry.

o Log in to your Online Registry account from the AGA website https://gelbvieh.digitalbeef.com/index.php o From the menu on the left choose “Reports”.

o Navigate to the EPD section and click on the Excel Icon to “Run an EPD report on this herd”. o When the EPD Report has been run, click on “Download Herd EPD Spreadsheet”.

o Save the spreadsheet to a location locally on your computer that will be easy for you to find later. By default the file will be named “herd_epd_(your member number)_(AGA code).xls”. o Follow the balance of instruction referenced in process 7 page 11 of this document to use the PET Step 3“Import EPD” function.

o Review (save and/or print) the Log File created in PET Step 4. Remember, any Line Number referenced in the Log File, does not count the header row (so add 1 row number). o Appendix G Import EPD Report shows the AGA EPD and the corresponding field on the Gelbvieh tab in Cow Sense where it will be stored.

11. Using PET Reference Tables NGPG_005 - Page:16 of 16 Seven Appendices follow. Appendices A, F & G display how AGA data are stored in Cow Sense. Appendices B, C, D, E and F are reference tables designed to assist you in understanding how PET pulls data from Cow Sense and prepares it for submission to the American Gelbvieh Association. The Partner Exchange Interface for the AGA extracts data from Cow Sense and creates text documents that can be uploaded at the AGA Registry website.

These tables include a cross reference from the AGA and Cow Sense Table (Tab) and Field Name as well as whether the data is a requirement for submission.

The PET-AGA Registration Data Submission is designed for users intending to submit and record calf records with the AGA after weaning and includes calving data. If only submitting data for recording calves at calving, only the fields relative to calving apply.

The PET-AGA Weaning Data Submission is designed for users intending to update calf records previously recorded at AGA with data obtained at weaning.

The PET-AGA Yearling Data Submission is intended for use in submitting performance updates to AGA for yearlings that had been previously recorded as calves.

The PET-AGA Breeding Data Submission is intended for submitting breeding data. Although this submission of information is not required, IF you submit this information there are required fields.

The Breed Codes are included for reference when entering breeds of parent animal records that are registered with a Breed Association other than AGA.

The Breed Association Codes is included for reference when entering codes on parent animal records that are registered with a Breed Association other than AGA.

Conclusion

In summary the Partner Exchange Tool interface for the American Gelbvieh Association provides you an automated method of delivering and receiving data stored in Cow Sense. If you have questions in the use of this feature or encounter any issues in its use, please contact our Customer Service Representatives.
