General - FAQ
How
do you know what version of AviMate you have?
You can check what version of AviMate you
currently have by first running AviMate. Then
click "Help" on the top menu. Then click on
"About". Look at the top right corner of the
dialog box. The version will be a number, dot, number,
dot, and a number, sometimes followed by a letter.
My
cage numbers do not sort properly, why?
The cage number field
is an alpha-numeric field. In other words, you may type a
letter or a number for your cage number. When a computer
sorts an alpha-numeric field, it starts with the first
character, and then the second, and so on. So if you have
cage 1 through 20 assigned, your sorting may appear as
follows:
Cage 1, 10,
11, ..., 18, 19, 2, 20, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
The first
character in cage 10 is a 1 and the first character in
cage 2 is a 2, therefore cage 10 comes before cage 2.
To eliminate
this problem, you must pad your cage numbers with zeros.
Example: If you assign cage 1 as cage 01, 2 as 02, and so
on, your sort will look like:
Cage: 01, 02,
..., 09, 10, 11, ... 19, and 20.
If you have
over 100 cages you will have to pad your number with 2
zeros such as cage 001.

track inventory of my cages, brooders, etc.?
