Activate HerdVision Integration

Only users who are assigned a Role with Integrations Management permissions can connect partner integrations. See Edit Dairy User Permissions and Manage Dairy Roles for more information.

For data to be sent to PULSE (and DC305 for DairyComp Unlimited dairies), you must first identify the pens the integration applies to, as well as add new items or configure existing items to map to the partner's data points.

1. In PULSE, navigate to Partners > Integrations Gallery and locate your partner company.
2. Click See Requirements.
3. Click Select Items to begin adding new items or mapping to existing items. Expand Available Items below to learn more about each item. 

   

4. Check the boxes to add new items to your dairy for the specific data you are connecting to PULSE.
   IMPORTANT: Select items for mapping carefully. If you make an error and need to change your item configuration, you will need to correct the items in DC305 DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software (for DairyComp Unlimited dairies) or contact VAS Support.
5. If you have an existing DairyComp item you'd like to use, select it from the DairyComp Item drop-down.
6. Click Create or Done in the bottom right corner to finish adding and/or mapping your items.
7. Confirm the addition or mapping of your items and click Save.
