Navigation & Pages

What are the main pages in myLFR?

The key pages are My Fishers, Record, Species, and Monthly Summaries. Each page focuses on one part of the LFR workflow: set up your fishers and fishstocks, record landings as they happen, view and download monthly summaries.

My Fishers

What is the “My Fishers” page for?

It is your address book for permit holders (fishers) and their vessels, so you can select them quickly when recording landings.

How does “My Fishers” work?

You add a fisher once (name and permit number), optionally add vessels, and then myLFR reuses those details anywhere you need to select a fisher or vessel.

Can I remove a fisher?

Inactive fishers can be archived instead of deleting, so your historical records still make sense.

Record

What is the “Record” page for?

It is where you enter a landing/receiving record: who it is from, the date, invoice details, and what fishstocks and weights were received. This data contributes to the monthly summaries.

How does recording work?

Pick the fisher (and vessel if relevant), enter the landing details, add one or more line items (fishstock + weight), then save.

What does “Reuse last landing” do?

It quickly creates a new landing entry using the same fisher, vessel (if used), and fishstock line items from your most recent landing, so you do not have to reselect everything each time. You still review and update details like the landing date, invoice number, and weights before saving, so the new landing is accurate.

What if I make a mistake?

You can edit and save changes. myLFR keeps a version history so you can see what changed later if you need to.

Species

What is the “Species” page for?

It is where you manage favourite fishstock codes so recording is faster and more consistent.

How does it help day-to-day?

Favourite the fishstocks you use most so they are easier to find when entering landing line items.

Monthly Summaries

What is the “Monthly Summaries” page for?

It turns your recorded landings into a month view you can review, print, and use to prepare your Licensed Fish Receiver returns.

How does a monthly summary get built?

myLFR totals up the landings you recorded for the selected month and presents them in a clear summary you can check for completeness.

Can I print or export it?

Yes. Monthly summaries can be exported, downloaded, and printed in either PDF or spreadsheet formats.

What’s the difference between the PDF and the spreadsheet downloads?

The PDF is a print-friendly snapshot of the monthly summary. The spreadsheet download includes the same monthly totals plus a detailed breakdown by vessel.

Analytics

What is the “Analytics” page for?

It helps you quickly spot totals and trends (by specific date ranges, fishers, and fishstocks). We welcome your suggestions for further analytics features. Email requests to admin@mylfr.co.nz.

Resources

What is the “Resources” page for?

It is a curated list of helpful links and references for LFR work, all in one place.

Account Settings

What is the “Account Settings” page for?

It is where you manage your workspace and team access, invites, and account-related settings.

What are the differences between the owner, editor and viewer roles?

Owners control the workspace: edit LFR details, manage members and invites, and delete the workspace. Editors can create, edit, and delete operational data (landings, fishers, vessels, favourites) but cannot manage membership, invites, or workspace settings. Viewers are read-only and can view data and reports but cannot make changes.
