The Operations report gives the figures a board or a grant application asks for: how many animals arrived, how many left and how, the live release rate, and how many are in care. Every figure says what it counted, so you can answer when somebody asks where a number came from. It is not in the sidebar: open the search palette (the Search box at the top of the page, or Ctrl K, ⌘ K on a Mac) and type “Reports”. Anyone whose role can See Animals can open it.

​
Choosing the period

Set From and To, then press Run it. Both days are included. The report opens on the period from the first day of the month twelve months ago up to today. From cannot be after To, and a period can be at most 1,100 days (about three years). A period that does not work says “That period didn’t work. Check the dates and try again.”

​
The figures

Four figures run across the top. Hover over any of them to read its definition.

​
Intakes

Intakes are counted from the intakes recorded on animals, by their intake date, not from the animals themselves. An animal that was adopted, returned and adopted again has two intakes. See Intakes.

​
Outcomes

An outcome is an animal with an outcome date, such as the day it was adopted. There is no separate outcome type, so each one is grouped by what its status means now, using the care state you gave each status under Settings → Animal management → Animal statuses (see Animal management):
  • Placed statuses are live outcomes.
  • Out of care statuses are other outcomes.
An animal whose status is back to In care is not counted, even if it has an outcome date in the period. An animal in a status your organization has never defined is left out rather than guessed at.

​
Live release rate

Live outcomes divided by all outcomes. “Live” means the animal’s current status is one you marked as Placed, so the figure follows your own status setup: if you mark the status you use for transfers as Placed, a transfer counts as live. A period with no outcomes has no rate. The figure shows a dash and says No outcomes in this period, never 0%.

​
In care

A count of today, shown as of today’s date, whatever period you chose. Nothing records the day an animal’s status changed, so the report cannot say how many were in care at the start or end of a past period, and it does not guess.

​
The breakdowns

Under the figures, three panels show what went into them. Each row gives a count and its share of the panel’s total.
