LITS Overview

A tour of the livestock information tracking system's command centre — your real-time animal, holding and event counts, and where to go for everything else LITS can do.

Audience: owners, farm staff, vets Part 1 of the LITS guide set

LITS is the largest module in Agribantu — holdings and camps, the animal registry, herds and groups, an append-only event ledger, mobile field capture, a medicine/vaccine catalogue with cold-chain tracking, movements and permits, biosecurity, FMD vaccination campaigns, a review queue, and reporting. This page is the map. Everything here is a link to a deeper guide.

Landing page

Where you land

Open LITS in the left navigation and you land on the Overview — a dashboard, not an editing screen. Four live tiles (Animals, Holdings, Herds & Groups, Events) show your current counts and double as quick links into each page, followed by a grid of module cards that deep-link into everything below.

Your own menu may show fewer items than this guide describes. Every LITS page is gated by its own capability (read vs. write, team vs. org scope), so an owner, a vet, and a field officer can each see a different slice of the same module.
Every LITS module

Every LITS module

Two more LITS-adjacent screens live under Finance because they're about money, not identity — linking finance records to animals, profitability reporting, and formal herd valuations. See the Livestock Finance Bridge guide. Granting an outside transporter, vet, lab or auditor a scoped, logged-in view of specific movements or permits is also its own guide — see External Access Portal.

The Authority side

The Authority side of the same data

Everything in LITS is your organisation's own write side. A state vet or provincial director sees a separate, read-mostly, jurisdiction-scoped slice of this same data from their own Authority Command Centre — never your full records, and only what an access policy or your own Authority Grants screen actually permits. See the Authority Command Centre guide for that side of the relationship.
