An enterprise defines a business unit on a farm. A Management Group defines similar animals that are managed in the same way within an Enterprise.
Examples of enterprises on your farm could be "Cow/Calf" and "Stockers".
Once set up, you can organise your individual animals into Management Groups for use when reporting and exploring insights.
Examples of management groups under a "Cow/calf" operation could include: Mature cows, replacement heifers, and cull cows.
Note: Only Administrator and Manager user roles have the ability to Add/Edit Management groups within an Enterprise.
