Previously, you had to select a Lot first, then pick a Pen. Now you can start from either direction — **Lot first or Pen first** — depending on what makes sense for your workflow. ## What's New Both the **Lot** and **Pen** dropdowns are now available right when the page loads. You no longer need to pick a Lot before the Pen dropdown becomes active. ## How It Works ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-14-2026-02-56-45-7998-AM.png?width=1077&height=260&name=image-png-Feb-14-2026-02-56-45-7998-AM.png) ### Starting with a Lot 1. Open the **Add Weight** **Update** page. 2. Click the **Lot** dropdown and select a lot. 3. The Lot label changes to **"Lot (Selected First)"** so you know it's your primary filter. 4. The **Pen** dropdown automatically refreshes to show only pens that have animals in your selected lot. 5. **Optionally**, pick a Pen from the filtered list to narrow down further. ### Starting with a Pen 1. Open the **Add Weight Update** page. 2. Click the **Pen** dropdown and select a pen. 3. The Pen label changes to **"Pen (Selected First)"** so you know it's your primary filter. 4. The **Lot** dropdown automatically refreshes to show only lots that have animals in your selected pen. 5. **Optionally**, pick a Lot from the filtered list to narrow down further. ### Switching Your Selection - You can freely change the value of your **primary** dropdown (the one you selected first). Each time you pick a new value, the other dropdown refreshes to match. - The **secondary** dropdown (the one you picked second) can also be changed, but it won't affect the primary dropdown's list — this keeps your starting filter stable. ### Resetting Both Dropdowns - Click the **X** button on your primary dropdown to clear it. - Both dropdowns will reset to show all available lots and pens with no selection, and the "(Selected First)" **label** is **removed**. - You're now free to **start over** from either direction. ## Quick Reference | Action | What Happens | | --- | --- | | Select Lot first | Lot becomes primary; Pen list filters by that lot | | Select Pen first | Pen becomes primary; Lot list filters by that pen | | Change primary dropdown value | Other dropdown refreshes with new filtered list | | Change secondary dropdown value | Primary dropdown stays unchanged | | Clear primary dropdown (X) | Both dropdowns reset to no selection, all items shown | ## Tips - **Look for the label** — "(Selected First)" tells you which dropdown is driving the filtering. - **Start with whichever you know** — if you know the pen number but not the lot, start with Pen. If you know the lot, start there. - **To start over**, just clear whichever dropdown shows "(Selected First)" and both will reset. **Not using FLS Cloud yet?** Feedlot Solutions is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence in beef production.
