An Animal that comes into an RSPCA Shelter via the inspectorate team will be added with:
Stage = On Hold
Animal Status = Protective Custody/Hold (or similar)
A validation rule will prevent the Animal from being moved to an Animal Status that does not contain the words 'Protective Custody' unless the Released By field is completed on the Animal Record.
To access the Animal Released and Released By fields on the Animal Record, go to the Details tab and click into the Tracking section.
To release an animal, update this section of the record and then change the Animal Status.
Updating this information will not notify the shelter that the animal has been released. Please also take this step after updating the animal record.
