Long Grass Nature Refuge have written a comprehensive Wildlife Management System designed specifically for wildlife rehabilitators. This system is made available free of charge to wildlife carers on the sole condition that they do not sell it or charge anyone else for its use. The system comes in two versions.
The web based version
The web based version is designed to be installed on your own website and shared by multiple people. It has been running on our website for more than 6 years and is constantly being improved.
If you want to try our Online Animal Records System, contact Long Grass Nature Refuge to request a sign-on to the web based version. This will enable you to log in to our demo system to explore the features of the web based version of WildMan.
The stand alone version
The stand alone windows version runs on a single PC and does not require internet access. This is the best option for users who do not have fast internet connections and do not want to share their data with other members of their group.
Coming Soon! A totally revamped stand-alone version will be available in the 3rd quarter of 2011. This will have many new features and will be support wildlife as well as domestic animals such as horses and cats and dogs.
Please note that
- the stand-alone version needs to run with Administrator authority.
If you have a problem with the program failing to start then do the following:
On Vista “Right click” on the desktop icon and select “Run as Administrator”. If this fixes the problem then “Right click” on the icon, select properties->shortcut->advanced and tick the “run as administrator” box.
On XP “Right click” on the desktop icon and select “Run As” and then choose administrator.
To make the change permanent “right click”, select properties->shortcut->advanced->run with different credentials. - For some reason if you have your screen resolution set to 800x600 the list of animals does not display. You will be able to add animals but instead of seeing a list of animals in a table you see a small box in the middle of the screen. Change your screen resolution to something higher and the list of animals will appear.
Except in exceptional circumstances the stand-alone system is now only available as a download
Mac notes:
- The standalone version for the mac is a rough and ready port of the windows version. It has some bugs and some funny layout "features". For example, the tabs are a bit funny and some screens seem to be missing scroll bars and the "Add Call Log" screen is virtually invisible. I am unlikely to fix these issues as version 2 will resolve them all, when I finally get it finished.
- The mac version has been tested only on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.
