New Pedigree Design on Individual and Breeding Pages

We are excited to announce a significant update to the pedigree design feature on both individual and breeding pages. Previously, our pedigree display was designed in a table-like format. While it effectively represented pedigree information, we recognized the need for a more visually intuitive and dynamic presentation. Introducing our new tree-like pedigree design!

New Tree-Like Design

The new tree design isn't a traditional tree but a connected layout with lines linking each node, such as parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. This design allows for a clearer and more structured visualization of pedigree information.

  • Nodes and Connections: Each node represents an individual, with lines linking to parents, grandparents, etc., providing a connected and hierarchical view.
  • Pedigree Design Options: On both breeding and individual pages, you can now select between two pedigree design options: Default and Tree.
    • Default Design: This is the traditional table-like design, which works best for detailed pedigrees that include thumbnail images and extra information text.
    • Tree Design: Ideal for simpler pedigrees, this design focuses on the individual’s name, titles, coat type, and other essential details without additional images or text.

Selecting the Best Design

  • Default Design:
    • Best For: Detailed pedigrees with thumbnail images and extensive information.
    • Look and Feel: Classic and comprehensive, suitable for users who prefer a richer data presentation.
  • Tree Design:
    • Best For: Simple and clean pedigrees, focusing on the essentials.
    • Look and Feel: Modern and streamlined, ideal for users who want a minimalist and visually appealing pedigree layout.

How to Use the New Pedigree Design

  1. Navigate to the Individual or Breeding Page: Go to the page where you want to display the pedigree.
  2. Select Pedigree Design: In the Pedigree Design field, choose either "Default" or "Tree" based on your preference and the pedigree details.
  3. Save: Check the design to ensure it meets your needs.

We believe the new tree design will enhance the way you present pedigree information, offering a more engaging and user-friendly experience. Explore this new feature and find the perfect look for your pedigrees!
