Templates make your life easier when adding an animal. For instance, you could create templates based on breed, color, age, sex, or temperament. Looking at the fields under Add a New Animal in the Animals menu gives you ideas about what templates your organization might need.
The following table lists a few special fields in the animal templates.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Use random name | If you select this option, and also select male or female for sex, a random name will automatically be selected when you load the template. |
Received Date, Use current date | If you select this option, the current date will be entered in the received date field when the template is loaded. |
Found Date, Use current date | If you select this option, the current date will be entered in the found date field when the template is loaded. |
You can edit a template you created by either clicking the Edit icon next to the appropriate template from the Animal Templates datatable, or by opening a specific template and clicking the Edit button at the bottom of the template.
You can delete a template you created by opening a specific template and clicking the Delete button at the bottom of the template.
You can edit or delete only the templates that you have created. If someone in your organization has created and shared a template with you, you may see it in your list of templates, but you cannot edit or delete it. If the template is no longer needed and the original creator is not available to delete or unshare the template, open a support ticket and we will unshare the template for you. |
