Agricultural Data Collection System Changes Different changes have been implemented in our data collection system since last year, specially in our Web Forms and Templates. Other changes are planned with a new version of Edamis we have installed last year Animal Production Statistics

Flags 1, 2, 3 in eDAMIS Web-Forms For domain MEAT and POULTRY Special flags with associated comment are disabled Other domains will follow this year Special flags 1 2 3 are removed from the WF in order to be more SDMX compliant; This is the case for Meat and Poultry domains. Our intention is to do this for all other agriculture domains by mid 2014. New flags will be used in our WF to be ' again, more SDMX compliant. You will hear about this changes in the next presentation about "Standard lists of flags" Animal Production Statistics

Animal Production Statistics New eDAMIS version 3.3d Since 20 November 2013 Performance problems Validation rules handling problems The new version of Edamis is in production since 20 of November 2013. After the implementation of the new version we detected some performance problems when connecting to the portal and when entering data. Some datasets were blocking also due to some irregularities on "validation rules handling" Since end november 2013 locking problems were solved, and the response time of the system is again normal since January 2014 Animal Production Statistics

GIP forecast Web-Forms Datasets will be reviewed by mid-2014 Define different data periodicity and transmission periodicity Possibility to generate automatic reminders Possibility to reduce the number of datasets The GIP forecast Web-Forms (Gross Indigenous Production) datasets will be reviewed by mid 2014. With the new version of Edamis will will be able to generate Web-Forms with mixed periodicity ( means data periodicity differs from transmission periodicity). By doing this we will also generate automatic reminders. Animal Production Statistics

Mixed flags in eDAMIS Web-Forms New templates with 2 flag columns Flag combination will be possible As we have discarded the use of flags 1 2 3 we will give our senders the possibility to combine flags. We will nevertheless limit this feature to 2 flag columns to guarantee a user friendly view of our templates . More information about this changes can be found in the next presentation and also in the document about "Standard lists of flags" Animal Production Statistics
