Customize Drop Down Tab (Shelter Management)

The Drop Downs tab is where the dropdown lists associated with case processing can be modified. You can delete, replace, or add values. Follow the instructions on the screen to do each of these functions.

The specific lists which can be modified include:

List to be modified Description
BITECASE_STATUS Status of new bite case (Open, Closed, Sent to Lab, etc)
BITECASE_TESTTYPE Test type requested when sent to lab (Rabies, Listeriosis, Mastitis, etc)
BITECASE_TESTMETHOD Method used for testing (DFA, Quarantine, etc)
BITECASE_TESTRESULT Results from the bite case test (Positive, Negative, Unfounded, etc)
CASE_CONDITION Condition of animal upon Case Intake
CASE_DISPOSITION Disposition methods (adopted, return to owner, etc)
CASE_REASON Case Intake reason (stray, unwanted, etc)
CASE_STATUS Current Case Status (holding, adoption available, etc)
CASE_TRANSPORT How the animal arrived (ACO pickup, owner turn-in, etc)
COLLAR_TYPE Animal's Collar description
COLOR_COLLAR Animal's Collar color
KENNEL_SECTION Kennel section designation specified to the Organization, for example "Dog/Cat holding, Quarantine, Adoption,etc." The individual kennels within the selected kennel section are also customizable, See "KENNEL_"______"
KENNEL_"______" The individual kennel labels within a Kennel Section are customizable. When a Kennel Section is created, it will create a new sub-section in the dropdown. For example, if a new kennel section is created labeled as "CAT_HOLDING", the dropdown sub-section will show KENNEL_CAT_HOLDING.
MICROCHIP_TYPE Microchip types implanted
PRECINCT Geographic areas where animals are impounded from
NOTE_TYPE_CASE The type of note that can be entered in the animal's case view
NOTE_TYPE_LOST The type of note that can be entered in the lost animal view
NOTE_TYPE_WISH The type of note that can be entered in the wish list request view
NOTE_TYPE_BITE The type of note that can be entered in the bite case view
NOTE_SOURCE The source of the information obtained that is entered in the note area
LOST_MATCH_ASSESSMENT Comparison between selected animal and lost animal report.

Important: Some list values in Shelter Pro cannot be altered in any way. Protecting certain values is necessary because if they were to be altered, then basic functionality within Shelter Pro would be jeopardized. A simple example of this is the species value of DOG. If you select the protected value, you will see a message stating:
"Important: this value is reserved, it cannot be deleted or replaced."
