New Day
Manual new day allows you to advance your account one day before the day is over. Starting a new day will place all load data into the sheets and reset all loads to 0. This function will also reset all bunk scores to 'N/A' and all new changes will be considered as next day changes. Cattle movements, feed call adjustments for the next day and pre-loading tomorrow’s first load of feed are all reasons to manually advance your account to a new day. Only advance to a new day if you are completely done feeding and done making any other changes to your account with today’s timestamp.
