Custom Events vs. Custom Entities Reports


Shelterluv has two different types of custom reports: Events and Entities.

Your various events reports should be used to report on actions that took place, such as intakes, outcomes, completed transactions, completed medical items, etc.

Your two entities reports, Animals and Persons, should be used when you want to report on your records, such as reporting on person records that have a specific attribute or all your in custody animals that have a specific status.

Rules


Report rules are a great way to help you report on only what you need. You can think of a report rule as a filter.

For example, if you wanted only to report on all adult dogs that were placed in foster care, you would add two rules (order does not matter):

  • Species Matches Dog
  • Age Group Matches Adult (or whatever your age group is configured as)

Here's what that report would look like:

The report pictured above would give you all adult dogs placed in foster care within the selected date range.

There is no limit to the number of rules you can add to a report. Once you add more than one rule, you will have the option to have the report match all rules or any one rule.

Each rule will have its own set of conditions. The conditions will be one of two types:

  1. Matches and Does Not Match
  2. For numerical values such as dates or age, the conditions will be Equal to, Greater than, Greater than or equal to, Less than, Less than or equal to, and Not equal to.
