Handling groups and saving partial results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When counting a large number of animals (e.g., an entire shipment), it is helpful to divide them into smaller groups. The history panel in the lower-left corner of the screen is used for this purpose: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saving a Group<em>:<\/em><\/strong> Once you&#8217;ve herded a specific group of animals, you can save its partial score by clicking the blue button with the stopwatch icon. The current score is then added to the list as the next group. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resetting the counter:<\/strong> After saving a group, the current counter is reset, allowing you to start counting the next group without worrying about mixing up the results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>List of groups:<\/strong> In the side panel, you can see a clear history of all previously recorded partial measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Summing the Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t have to add individual groups yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TOTAL:<\/strong> At the very bottom of the side panel is the <strong>TOTAL<\/strong> field, which automatically sums all previously saved groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This way, you&#8217;ll always know the total number of animals counted since the start of the session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Finishing up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the entire counting process is complete:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press the red <strong>STOP<\/strong> button to stop and close the counting session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A window summarizing the count will appear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540.png 1024w, https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540-50x29.png 50w, https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540-60x35.png 60w, https:\/\/help.fetura.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-07-30-140540-100x58.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you want to have a real-time view of your counting results on your phone or computer?
