Defaults

This screen allows configuration of the system defaults. These defaults are used to select starting values when finding and creating animals.

• Mark new animals as not for adoption: Setting this option will cause ASM to automatically tick the ``not for adoption'' box when creating new animals. This is an extra precaution - by forcing users to untick the box when necessary, no animal can be accidentally published.
• Default today as the reservation date for new movements: Setting this option will cause ASM to automatically default the reservation date to today when a new movement record is created.
• Prefill new media notes with animal comments: Setting this option will cause all new media descriptions to default to the animal comments. This is handy for website generation as you can base the animal's description on the comments already there. You can use the button next to the animal comments field on the animal details to copy the comments to the web preferred media record.
• Default to advanced find animal screen: If ticked, the find animal screen will appear in advanced mode by default.
• Default to advanced find owner screen: If ticked, the find owner screen will appear in advanced mode by default.
• Automatically attach generated documents as media: If ticked, the attach document checkbox will also be ticked by default when you generate a document from a template.
• Default today as the brought in date for new animals: If ticked, the date brought in field (under the entry tab) of new animals will default to today.
• Default original filename as notes when attaching media: If ticked and the notes are blank, the media notes will be set to the original filename when attaching media.
