	Step 2: Various information can be provided in regard to the pet, including a range of numerical identifiers and physical characteristics. Most importantly: 1. Pet ID is a system-generated number, to identify the animal in case you don’t assign any other numbers. 2. The archive numbers are custom numbers that are assigned by the administration of the shelter, for internal identification of animals that might not receive an ear tag or microchip. 3. A Tag ID# of the animal is transcribed from the identification device (chip, tag). When adding a number, a type of device must be selected. 4. The Tag type (e.g. ear tag) is not mandatory and added only to animals that have been processed by the shelter and will be released.
	Step 3: The ID # of the animal you have provided is crosschecked to other ID# for the selected animal identification device and eliminates the possibility for issuing duplicate numbers to animals. If you attempt to add a duplicate ID # an error message will be displayed. Note: The ID # must be provided before the ADOPTION or RELEASE action of an animal.
	Step 4: 1. The identification number of the responsible person is entered. 2. The date of animal identification must be specified. 3. The archive number is an individual number assigned by the shelter administration for the internal identification of an animal that may not be fitted with an ear tag or microchip.
	Step 5: If the information is available, indicate it in the appropriate field.
	Step 6: Enter the information related to the animal in the specified fields.
	Step 7: If the information is available, enter it in the relevant fields and click the “Save” button.
