What has changed

Feature requests

• A pet food pantry under People, off until you switch it on in Settings. Record each visit with the household or a walk-up, the pets it was for and the food that went home.
• The pantry adds up the pounds given out each month, by food and by site, with a ready-made report for grants.
• What the pantry keeps about the people it serves is your choice: named households, walk-ups, or both.
• The pet food pantry can have limits: pounds a month for each pet by its size, a household's most, and visits a month, with proof of need on file. Each is optional, and none of them stops a visit: whoever is at the table sees a warning.
• Partner agencies, organizations from your directory that the pantry gives food to in bulk, and households imported from a spreadsheet with how many pets they feed.
• The pet food pantry shows each month's Pet Food figures for Shelter Animals Count's Community Services Database: the animals fed, by species, counted once a month however often a household came, ready to enter in your SAC portal.
• Documents can be searched by what they say: the text of each document is read once, including a phone photo or a scanned PDF of a certificate, so a tag number, a microchip number or a clinic's name finds it. Text beside a document shows what was read from it.
• Documents can be emailed in: forward a vet invoice or a certificate to your organization's documents address, from the address you sign in with, and each attachment becomes a document. Put an animal's Pet ID or microchip number in the subject to file it on that animal.

Bug fixes

• Mailchimp now gets each person's roles as tags (Adopter, Donor, Volunteer, Foster and Pantry client), kept in step as roles change, so you can write to one group: a new resource for people low on funds to your pantry's households, say. The tags were not reaching Mailchimp before.

Bug fixes

• Forms and their submissions now need See People as well, because a submission is somebody's details. A volunteer signed in to the portal could open and change your volunteer-form submissions before. An animal care technician no longer sees submissions.

Feature requests

• Build your own reports: choose what to report on and which linked records to bring in (an adoption's adopter, a donation's donor), then choose the fields, group and filter them, and show them as a table or a chart. Save one and everybody at your rescue who can read the same records can open it.
• Every list you can open can be reported on: animals, intakes, adoptions, applications, medical records, fosters, people by role, organizations, donations, campaigns, auctions, the wishlist, volunteer hours, events and transports, with your own custom fields.
• Report on transport legs, with each leg's times as the clock reads them, the driver and the hand-off contacts; and, for organization admins, on the team: who holds which role and when they last signed in.
• Report on tasks, documents and form submissions, each showing only the rows its own list shows you; and, with Configure on Communications, on the communications log.
• Print a report, save it as a PDF, or download it for Excel or as a CSV: the report as it stands, with its groups and totals, and a chart printed as a picture.
• Schedule a report every day, week or month, at an hour in your time zone, for people on your team: each gets an email with a link that opens the report as it is that day. Nothing is attached and no copy is kept.
• Each transport leg has its miles, worked out from the two addresses by driving distance or typed in by you. A per-mile service is now priced on your route, so nobody booking a seat types a number of miles, on your website or from a partner rescue.

Enhancements

• Fifteen ready-made reports to start from, from adoptions by month to volunteer hours by volunteer. They improve as RescueConsole does, and a copy you save is yours to change.
• An empty choice in a report says Not recorded, where a chart used to call it null.
• On transports, a crate still open is available, where it said free and read as no charge; and the note sent with an answer is a message included when accepted or denied.

Bug fixes

• A saved report is listed only for people whose role can read the records it reports on.
• A part of RescueConsole switched off for your organization is left out of the menu and the dashboard, where the dashboard used to show "Bad proxy request".
