Animal Releases
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.
When the Animal is released, update the Stage
and Animal Status
.
Stage = Processing
Animal Status = Released/Forfeited to Shelter
You can access a Protective Custody Hold
view under the Animals Tab. Pin this as your default view to see it each time you access the Animals Tab.
You can also access this report which identifies the Owner of the Intake Animal record.
Click into the Intake Animal record via the Intake Animal ID if you would like to change the Owner of the record.
You can also see the Protective Custody Animals Dashboard from the Home Tab in the Inspectorate App.
