Shows - Before you begin...
Before you begin, take a moment to review the rabbits in your rabbitry. Make sure you have selected the "Showable" check box for all the rabbits you wish to add to your show entries. The picture below shows CR&DB's Tonka. Notice that the "Showable" check box is selected (red rectangular box).
List Show Rabbits
Bunny Trails has the ability to generate a listing of all the rabbits in your barn who you consider to be show worthy. So, any rabbit you wish to take to a show now or in the future, should be selected as "Showable" (picture to the left) on that rabbit's detail record. Please Note: If you don't select a rabbit as "Showable", Bunny Trails will not include that rabbit in the "List ShowRabbits" listing. Also, when you are putting together a show entry, only "Showable" rabbits will be available to add to the show entry. If you would like to see a complete listing of show rabbits in your barn, click the button (pictured to the left) entitled "List Show Rabbits." The "Show Rabbits List" (pictured below) will appear. |
To print a List of Your Show Rabbits, select the "List Show Rabbits" button on the Home Screen.
This list gives you a nice overview of each showable rabbit with his/ her wins and points. It also provides a grand total of each win category at the bottom of the screen.
