What this guide covers: finding animals in a large registry, acting on many at once, registering a new one, and everything inside a single animal's profile.
What it doesn't cover: the events that make up an animal's history in detail (see Events & Traceability) or recording one in the field (see Field Capture).
OverviewThe KPI strip
Found at LITS → Animals. Ten clickable tiles sit above the registry — Total, Active, Quarantine, Withdrawal, Missing ID, Missing Location, FMD Due, Needs Review, Moved This Month, Sale-Ready — each one doubling as a quick filter into the table below it.
Search & filtersSearch & the filter drawer
A single search box searches animals, holdings, camps and groups at once. For anything more specific, the filter drawer has around 25 fields — holding, camp, group, species, breed, sex, status, quarantine/withdrawal/FMD/treatment/movement/review status, identifier type and status, owner, custodian, age range, weight range, event and last-seen date ranges, and data-quality flags.
View modesThe five view modes
| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Registry | The paginated data table — status bar, identifiers, species/breed, holding/camp/group, status chip, health-flag chips. |
| Camp Board | A card grid of camps with animal and quarantine counts per camp. |
| Group/Herd | A table of groups with member counts. |
| Map | A placeholder today — see the note below. |
| Data Quality | Registry-wide data-quality issues, listed by severity. |
Bulk actions
Select rows in Registry view and a bulk action bar appears: Record Vaccination, Start Quarantine, Assign Group, Generate Report. Each opens a preview showing the affected count and any warnings before you confirm — nothing applies to the selection silently.
