Owner Warnings

When you create new owner records and adopt animals to owners, the system will perform some checks for you. Some of these require options to be set in System $\triangleright$Options (they are all switched on by default).

• Name Check (Requires option set): The system will check to see if there is someone with a similar name on file to the one you just entered. If there is, you will be shown a list of matches, with the option to view them and prompted as to whether you want to continue.
• Address Check (Requires option set): The system will check to see if you have an owner on file at the same address as the one listed. This is useful for fraudulent owners who are banned from adopting animals getting family members to do it for them.
• Postcode Check (Requires option set): The system will warn the operator if they attempt to adopt an animal to a new owner who lives in the same postcode as the animal's original owner.
• Previous Owner Check (Requires option set): System will warn the operator if they attempt to adopt an animal to a new owner with a name and address similar to someone who has brought an animal into the shelter.
• Non-Homechecked (Requires option set): The system will warn the operator if they attempt to adopt an animal to an owner who has not been homechecked.
• Banned (Requires option set): The system will warn the operator if they attempt to adopt an animal to an owner who has been banned from adopting animals.
