Customize ID Options

This window allows you to enter optional processing parameters according to your facility's needs. These features can make Shelter Pro easier to use.

Tag for Animal ID menu

This field should be set to the terminology you would prefer on the Shelter Pro main menu for Animal IDs. Notice in the above example that the custom text matches the text shown on the Shelter Pro main menu. Special note - you won't see the main menu change immediately when this is modified. It will only show a change after you have exited Shelter Pro and then logged back in. The below image shows the tag for the animal ID as "Example #1" and where the animal ID tag is displayed on Shelter Pro.

Tag for Licenses

This field should be set to the terminology your facility uses to describe a License (Tag, City Tag, etc.). By changing this field, the same terminology will be used throughout the Shelter Pro system (including windows, reports, and forms). The below image shows the tag for the Licenses as "Example #2" and where the License tag is displayed on Shelter Pro.

Edit/Clean microchip IDs for Correct Format

This switch determines if microchip id entry is valid per ISO microchip rules for the various microchip types commonly available on the market (HomeAgain, SmartTag, Avid, etc.).

Run Chip Cleaner

By running the Chip Cleaner, Shelter Pro will search through the facilities microchip ID database to ensure that all the microchip ID's are correctly formatted and contain 15 numerics. Additionally, the chip cleaner will check the microchip ID codes to ensure the corresponding microchip partner ID is correct. Typically, you should only need to run the chip cleaner once, after importing a microchip ID database into Shelter Pro.

Form Formatting Options

Shelter Pro provides four document formatting options to select from based on the preferences of the Organization. These formating options are for the License, Vaccination, Microchip, and Registeration Forms. The following information highlights the customizable features between Format #1, Format #2, Format #3, and Format #4. You can specify your preferred form format by selecting either "1", "2", "3", or "4" in the form selection area.

Effective Date Label

Special note - you won't see the main menu change immediately when this is modified. It will only show a change after you have exited Shelter Pro and then logged back in. The below image shows the tag for the animal ID as "Example #1" and where the animal ID tag is displayed on Shelter Pro.

License Experation Can Not Exceed Rabies Expiration

This switch is only available when the License/Rabies combination options are set to "Rabies certificate is required to issue a License".

This will cause an edit to occur when a license is issued or modified, and a Rabies vaccination record is connected to the license. If the license expiration date is later than the rabies expiration date, when the SAVE button is clicked an edit message will be issued and the license record will not be allowed to post. Users will be required to adjust the license expiration date to not exceed the rabies expiration date.
