Step 1: Open the "Daily Cut Floor Report" page, located under the Production menu → Cut Floor → Daily Cut Report.

Step 3: Click on the "Main Breaks" tab, then click the "Edit" button in the Actions Panel.
Step 4: Next, click on the "Add Main Break Record" button at the top of the page.
Step 5: A new main break record will appear, it will be partially populated from information in the shift configuration. On these records/blocks you can modify the fields that have bold titles, the remaining fields are calculated and cannot be manually modified. All the fields on a main break record are as follows:
• Break Type: The type of main break used for the main break record block. A main break refers to the vertebrae between which the hog is cut to separate the head and shoulder from the loin, belly and the ham.
• Start Time: The beginning time of the main break record block.
• End Time: The end time of the main break record block.
• Accum. Hog Count: The cumulative number of hogs processed over all time blocks up to this point.
• Chain Speed: How quickly hogs are moving through the cut floor, specified in hogs per hour.
• Shift: The shift that the main break record occurred on.
• Break Time: The duration of time within the main break record that was allocated to breaks.
• Hours Worked: The duration of time worked on the main break record. This is calculated as the difference between the start and end time, minus break time.
• Lost Time (mins): The amount of time, in minutes that were lost or running behind. This is calculated as the difference between the expected hog count and the hog count, divided by the chain speed, then multiplied by 60 to get the time in minutes.
• Mainline Downtime: The duration of time which the mainline was down during the selected main break record.
• Average Line Speed: The average number of hogs processed during this time block.
• Efficiency %: The calculated efficiency of the selected block. This is calculated as the average line speed (ALS) divided by the chain speed (CS).
• Hog Count: The total number of hogs processed on the time block.
• Expected Hog Count: The expected number of hogs to be processed in the time block. (Calculated based on the hours worked and the chain speed.)
• Break Type: The type of main break used for the main break record block. A main break refers to the vertebrae between which the hog is cut to separate the head and shoulder from the loin, belly and the ham.
• Start Time: The beginning time of the main break record block.
• End Time: The end time of the main break record block.
• Accum. Hog Count: The cumulative number of hogs processed over all time blocks up to this point.
• Chain Speed: How quickly hogs are moving through the cut floor, specified in hogs per hour.
• Shift: The shift that the main break record occurred on.
• Break Time: The duration of time within the main break record that was allocated to breaks.
• Hours Worked: The duration of time worked on the main break record. This is calculated as the difference between the start and end time, minus break time.
• Lost Time (mins): The amount of time, in minutes that were lost or running behind. This is calculated as the difference between the expected hog count and the hog count, divided by the chain speed, then multiplied by 60 to get the time in minutes.
• Mainline Downtime: The duration of time which the mainline was down during the selected main break record.
• Average Line Speed: The average number of hogs processed during this time block.
• Efficiency %: The calculated efficiency of the selected block. This is calculated as the average line speed (ALS) divided by the chain speed (CS).
• Hog Count: The total number of hogs processed on the time block.
• Expected Hog Count: The expected number of hogs to be processed in the time block. (Calculated based on the hours worked and the chain speed.)
Step 6: Once you've filled out all the details about the main break record block, click the "Save" button in the Actions Panel to save it. If you don't want to save the new main break record, clicking "Undo" in the Actions Panel will discard it.
