Animal Actions Tracking Management
- Matt Romeo
Overview
The Animal Actions Tracking dashboard provides Shelter Managers with a comprehensive view of how scheduled Animal Actions are progressing at their site. It helps identify overdue tasks, uncompleted actions, and overall trends in animal care. The data is sourced from Animal Actions, and different groupings and filters are applied to give a detailed understanding of the status of actions for the day.
This dashboard ensures that staff can track completed and pending actions, helping improve the efficiency of animal care in the shelter.
📌 Tip: If a particular type of action is consistently overdue, consider adjusting staffing or scheduling to ensure timely completion.

Key Insight: Helps assess the overall progress of scheduled actions and identifies any areas that need immediate attention.
📌 Tip: If a specific action type (e.g., Nutrition) has a large gap between scheduled and completed tasks, it might indicate resource constraints or inefficiencies in the process.
