Microchip View - Details

The microchip view shows the details of a microchip record.

The Microchip

The data elements of a microchip include the following:

• Status – the current status of the record.

Tip: The status values will show as:
* CURRENT - if the expiration is on or after the current date.
* EXPIRED - if the expiration is before the current date and the record is the 'most recent' for the animal.
* HISTORICAL - if the expiration date is before the current date AND the record is not the 'most recent' for the animal.
* DECEASED - if the animal's deceased indicator is checked.

• Type – the 'type' of microchip that was current at the time of the posting. For microchips, this is typically the microchip provider..

• Microchip ID – this is typically the microchip id that shows up on a scanner when the pet would scanned for a microchip.

• Effective Date and Expiration Date - the date of implant. Note that expiration dates are usually blank for a microchip as they don't typically 'expire'.

• Precinct – the precinct under which this record is associated. This may or may not be a required element depending on your organizations specific requirements.

• Issued By – The list of agencies/persons in this list is determined by the person records on the Person Database who have the 'Veterinarian', or 'Vet Clinic' switch checked. This would typically represent third-party entities who provide pet microchips.

• Staff Member – this is the employee who recorded the record.

• Transmitted to provider / pending transmission to provider - this is the date the microchip registration was transmitted to the provider via Shelter Pro's Partners service.

• Animal Owner When Issued – this is (or was) the animal's current owner at the time the record was created.

The Pet Owner / The Animal

This is the current owner information, and animal profile information. These data elements can be updated directly on this view without having to go to the Person Database or the Animal Database.

Microchip History

The list at the bottom of the view will show any previous/historical records that exist for the animal.
