What this card shows
The Donor sperm families by allocation status card shows how many families have been allocated to your sperm donors, grouped by where each allocation stands. Each bar is one allocation status, and its height is the number of families with that status. Hover over a bar to see the exact number of families.
A family is allocated to a donor when staff link a recipient to that donor. Where a donor has a family limit, every allocation except a released one counts toward it, so the card shows how much of that capacity is already taken. Read it next to the Donor sperm in stock by release status card beside it: that card shows the sperm you can still offer, and this one shows the families already linked to a donor.
Reading the card
Held: the family's place with the donor is taken, but none of the donor's sperm has been used in their treatment yet.
Pending: the allocation is waiting for approval.
Locked: the donor's sperm has been thawed for the family's treatment.
Permanent: a live birth has been recorded for the family.
Released: the place has been given back and no longer counts toward the donor's family limit.
Only statuses that have at least one family are shown.
The Date filter at the top of the dashboard applies to the day the family was allocated to the donor. By default it covers the past 12 months, so families allocated earlier are not counted, even if their allocation is still active. Widen the date range to see every family.
The Clinic filter narrows the card to the clinics you choose. Here, clinic means the clinic the allocation was made at.
A donor counts as a sperm donor here when their donor type is sperm donor. Where the donor type does not say which material they donate, the donor counts when they have sperm samples on record, stored now or used before, and no egg samples.
Where this data comes from
Families are created in wawa when staff link a recipient to a donor: by reserving or nominating the donor's straws for the recipient, or by thawing the donor's sperm for the recipient's treatment. A new family starts as Held. It moves to Locked when the donor's sperm is thawed for the family's treatment, and to Permanent when a live birth is recorded.
Each donor's families are listed on the Allocations tab of their donor page, under Cryostorage → Donors. The Spot Status column is the allocation status this card counts, and Since is the date the Date filter uses.
To give a family's place back, choose Release next to the family on the Allocations tab. The button is there for Held places, and for Locked places once a negative outcome, such as a negative pregnancy test or a miscarriage, has been recorded. The family then moves to the Released bar and no longer counts toward the donor's family limit.
Opening this card
In wawa, open Insights from the sidebar, then go to Standard Reports → Donor → Donor and choose the Sperm tab. The Donor sperm families by allocation status card is near the bottom of the tab, on the right, next to the Donor sperm in stock by release status card.
