Deer Share (Uploads to Other GMS User Feature in Animal Search)

Important Considerations:

Deer Share allows GMS customers who have the same version of GMS installed share data.  GMS can be updated to this latest version via the Check Online for Updates under System Settings/GMS Utility.  

The data that is exported from one GMS installation and imported into another is text only data and does not include pictures. 

Deer that are to be exported need to have the DNA number field populated. If it is not populated, the animal will not be picked up by the export process. A temporary DNA number can be assigned by the seller, but that number should be removed after the export occurs and after you import the data.

If clients have deer with the same identification information, duplicates will be created when data is imported into GMS from another GMS client. If lineage information is the same for the exporting and importing databases, the importing GMS client needs to re-link the imported GMS animals to his lineage animals.
