How to undo tag replacements

Use this step-by-step guide to undo tag replacements if it has been done by mistake.

Preparing the CSV file

Your CSV file will need to include all of the column headings, in the correct order. This includes headings for optional columns you are leaving blank.

How to complete each column

This is a compulsory field if you don't provide a NAIT visual tag number in Column B.

You can only update the RFID if it is already registered to an animal. This is the unique 16-character code that relates to each animal's NAIT tag. It is provided by tag manufacturers or can be read with a scanner. It does not have to be provided if a NAIT Visual ID is provided. Formats we accept include:

  • 00000 0 982 000196588496
  • 942 000002422333
  • 982 000161531687
  • 0982000190869343
  • 0982 000190869343

This is a compulsory field if you don't provide a NAIT RFID number in Column A.

This is the information printed on the outside of the tag. The number must already be registered to an animal to update the animal's details.

Reading tags

This field is optional.

You can choose to enter a reference number of your own — for example, 1,2,3,4. This will make it easier for you to identify which record — that is, which row of your spreadsheet — is incorrect if you make a mistake in your CSV.

Enter the NAIT number of the location where the animal is currently.
