1. 3006 - Mapping Parents From Husbandry to Studbook Module
Understanding ZIMS Predictions for Parents

2. ZIMS Updates! This PowerPoint is up-to-date as of: November 12th 2018
ZIMS is developed in an “agile” method
This means that it is updated every two weeks, sometimes with additional releases in between!
Use the link below to see if there have been any updates to this topic since the date above:

3. Mapping Parents
Parents reported in the Husbandry module can be tricky to map to the Studbook module because there are many ways to enter parents for an animal in Husbandry.
There are 9 different types of parents that can be accepted into the studbook

4. 1.System Predicts Link to Studbook Animal
ZIMS Predicts Parents are Linked to a Studbook Animal
This is the easiest scenario
Recorded parents in Husbandry match the parents defined by the studbook
Actions Available: None, records match and you are good to go!

5. 2. System Predicts Wild Parent
ZIMS Predicts Parents are Wild
WILD selected from Husbandry screen button
Non-ZIMS parent entered, example: WILD/123, India/Wild
Actions Available: Accept/Reject

6. 3. System Predicts UND Parent
ZIMS Predicts the Parents are UND
UNDETERMINED/INDETERMINATE selected from Husbandry screen button
Non-ZIMS parent entered, example: UNKNOWN/123, UNK/123, UNDETERMINED/123, INDETERMINATE/123
Actions Available: Accept/Reject

7. 4. System Predicts Linked Parent
ZIMS Predicts the Parent is Linked to a Studbook Animal:
The parent the institution has recorded as the parent has been linked to a studbook animal
These records will always shown as matched, if entered correctly in studbook during migration or when linking an animal.
Actions Available: Accept/Reject (Accept opens the parent edit screen and adds this parent)

8. 5. Non-ZIMS Animal – No Match
ZIMS Cannot Predict Match:
Non-ZIMS parent entered in Husbandry does not match the studbook animal Mnemonic/Local ID pairs
Actions Available: None

9. 6. Non-ZIMS Animal – Match
ZIMS Predicts Match:
Non-ZIMS parent entered in Husbandry has a Mnemonic/Local ID pair matches that matches with single studbook animal Mnemonic/Local ID pair in the studbook
Actions Available: Accept/Reject

10. 7. System Predicts Animal on Suggested Animal List
ZIMS Predicts the Parent is on the Suggested List with Suggested Link
Husbandry parent with valid taxonomy is on the Suggested list and has a suggested match to an animal in the studbook
Actions Available: Accept/Reject (Accept opens suggested animal list first, then user takes action)

11. More Parent Update Rules
8. Animal on Non-SB List without Suggested Link:
Husbandry parent with valid taxonomy and no suggested studbook match
Actions Available: Accept/Reject (Accept creates draft)
9. Invalid Taxon:
Husbandry reported taxonomy is not defined in Studbook taxonomies.
No Action Available (if already linked via migration or mismatched taxonomy by animal taxonomy changes, it could be accepted already)
