ILR Online Helps and Hints: Online Registrations and Uploading Photos
by Salena Adams, ILR Customer Service

HOW TO: for Online Registrations
Keep a copy of these instructions by your computer for a quick reference'. Please, do not hesitate to call us at the ILR office if you have questions at 406-755-3438.

Owner codes must be entered correctly for your information to be sent to your online database account. If you enter your owner code incorrectly, your online registration will not show up in your account. Owner codes are 2 letters and 2-3 numbers and are entered without spaces or dashes. For example if your owner code is WA31 the computer will not recognize WA 31, WA-31, or WA031. An easy test for this is to hit the tab key after you enter your owner code in the online registration form. The owner information in our database (name, address, phone number, fax number, email, etc.) will auto fill if you have entered it correctly. By entering your owner codes correctly you save yourself time and improve the accuracy of your application. Be sure to take advantage of the auto fill feature when entering animal id numbers as well. Remember that ILR registration numbers are normally 6 digits (5 digits for older animals) and do not contain any letters. Tabbing after you enter the number will put in the animals name, DNA case # (if applicable) owner name and owner code.

HOW TO: for Uploading Online Registration Photos
Photos must be uploaded through the ILR web site or mailed via USPS. They cannot be emailed to the office. If you are uploading photographs after you have submitted an application, you do not need to submit another application. Simply follow the instructions below to send your photos through the ILR web site.

Review for Uploading Photos:
From the ILR web site click the Database tab. This will take you to the following screen. Enter your owner code and password. If you do not have a password, you can request one by clicking on the link to the right of the login box. You must have an email address on file with the ILR office to request a password.

MEMBERS PAGE
For those of you who have paid 2005 ILR membership dues, your initial page will look like the screen below.

From this page select "Update photos of your animal" from the Common Quick Click Links.

OWNERS PAGE
For those of you who have not paid for a 2005 ILR membership, your initial page will look like the screen below. From this page select "Click here to update animal photos".

UPDATE ANIMAL PHOTOS
After the initial selection to update photos, all following screens are identical for members or owners. You will have two menus to choose from. Either choose to upload photos for animals that are not yet registered or update photos of already registered animals. In our example we will choose a "not yet" registered animal.

Select the correct animal from the not-yet-registered menu and click  

UPLOAD RIGHT PHOTO FIRST
Click  

LOCATING THE IMAGE FILE
Click the Browse button to search for the photo on your computer. This will bring up a window where you can choose the appropriate file to upload. All uploaded photos must be in the JPEG File Interchange Format (jpg). Select the photo and click open.

Click  

Uploading may take a few minutes depending on your connection speed. When your photo is uploaded it will appear on your screen. Make sure it is the correct animal, then proceed to upload the left side following the same procedure. After you have uploaded both photos you will have the option of going to the final page. This will summarize for you which photos have been submitted. From here you will have the option of uploading photos for other animals.

Please notify the ILR office when you have uploaded new animal photos after the initial submission of your application. We can match your photos with your application and upgrade your registration. You can also upload photos for any animals whose registration is in need of photos. You would follow the same procedure as before but select the second section from the update animal photos screen. This section is for animals for which you have already started the registration process.

Please contact the ILR office if you have any questions about the upload process.
