Manage Animals Screen Description

 

 

Center Grid

When you open the Manage Animals screen, the center grid displays a list of all the animals currently in your care,
either at your shelter or in a foster home, along with a snapshot of the details taken from information entered
on various other screens accessed from the Manage Animals screen. Just below the grid on the left, you can
see the total number of animals whose details are displayed in the grid. Use the vertical scroll bar on the right
to move down through the entire list.
 

Current/Former Residents Toggle Button

The Current Residents label indicates the grid is displaying details about the animals currently in your care,
 including their locations. When you click the “Show Former Residents” toggle button, the grid changes to display
 a list of animals no longer in your care (adopted, died, released, transferred, returned to owner, lost). The button
 label also changes to “Show Current Residents,” and clicking it changes the grid back to the list of animals still in
 your care.

Animal Name Search Field

This field enables you to easily find a specific animal by name. As you begin typing in the Animal Name Search field,
 the list of animals in the grid narrows down to names beginning with those letters. For example, entering an “s” will
 take you to the first “s” in the list and the grid will display all animal names starting with “s” in alphabetical order.
 Entering “sa” will take you to the first “sa” in the list and any other names starting with “sa” will also appear, and so on.

Filter by Animal Type

This tool allows you to filter the center grid by type of animal (dog, cat, horse, etc.). The available selections in the
dropdown list are determined by what you create in your system setup when you customize your Animal Types.

 related screen where you can enter, view, and/or manage a variety of actions and health-related information
 for the animals you selected in the center grid. (Note: You will find detailed information and procedures for each of these
 screens on their respective Help pages.)
The current dropdown list contains these selections:
            
For items with a single asterisk, you can select only a single animal in the grid. For items with two asterisks, you can select
two or more animals if you wish.

Horizontal Navigation Bar

This navigation bar at the top of the Manage Animals screen makes it easy for you to go to other areas in the TTR application
directly from the Manage Animals screen rather than having to return to the TTR Home screen. It gives you direct access
to every screen and feature that you can also access from the Home screen, while keeping the Manage Animals screen open
in the background.
