How to Use the Animal Quick Reports

Quick reports are Shelterluv's standard, prebuilt reports that you can easily run without any report building. Once run, certain quick reports can be filtered, but they cannot be edited or customized.

If you need a more customized report, please use Shelterluv's Custom Reports.

This article will cover each quick report under the Animal tab in your quick reports. You can find all of the other quick reports in the Quick Reports section of the help center.

Each quick report has its own default sorting, but you can click any column header to quickly sort the report by that column in ascending or descending order. Additionally, each quick report can be exported to Excel, printed, or downloaded as a PDF.

  • Reporting

The Animal tab of your quick reports contains eight prebuilt reports for you to take advantage of. Expand each section below to get details of each report and how it should be used:

  • The Animal Population quick report will show all animals currently in your custody (in shelter and foster) at the time of running the report, which is why there is no date picker for the report.

    At the top of the report, you will see three filters:

    1. Show available animals only - Use this toggle to view animals in a status configured to be adoptable. This filter is always toggled on by default.
    2. Show on-site animals only - Use this toggle to view animals in a status configured to be onsite. This filter is always toggled off by default.
    3. Show only animals without photo - Use this toggle to view animals without published photos on their profiles. This filter is always toggled off by default.
