Hide_Animal_Status

Default	Hide_Animal_Status = DD

When animals have died, put to sleep etc. the status code is changed to 'DD'. It is this status code the system uses to decide if the card will be hidden via 'Hide Dead Animals' (see System Management -> Setup -> Parameters -> Fields and Defaults -> Options -> More - > 14). As well as the DD status code you can add other codes, e.g. you may have 'RH' for Re-Homed, 'MA' for moved away. You may not normally want to see these records so you can add them via this option and they will be hidden e.g. Set Hide_Animal_Status = DDRHMA.

Note: You do need to include the DD code if you are using this. You can still use the '/' to show them as with dead animals. Don't leave spaces between the different status codes.

This also sets the default for the 'Ignore Status' option in recall selection. You can still change it when generating recalls it is used to make sure the default is something reasonable.
