Cloud - Dashboard views
You have the option for three different dashboard views. The Compact and Comfortable Views allow you to see most of the information related to the pet and the client including packages, warnings, vaccine dates. You are able to create an invoice through this view and click to send the Text to Pay link.
Compact View - This view is a compacted display, so as many appointments as possible display on the screen without needing to scroll.
On this initial view, you are able to see pet's photo, icons, package information, dates/times and status of the appointment.
There is a count at the top to quickly see how many of each appointment is scheduled for the day.
There are different tabs so you can quickly filter the appointment list as needed.
All pets - All appointments on the schedule for today for Boarding, Grooming, Daycare.
Arrivals - Only pets that are due to check in today
Checked In - Pets that have been checked in.
Departures - Only pets that are due to checkout today for Boarding.
Checked out - Pets that have been checked out.
Waitlist - Displays waitlist appointments
Cancelled - Displays cancelled appointments
Packages display on this compact view. It will list the pet packages first (paw print icon) and then the client packages (person icon).
For daycare - in this example, the pet has 4 full days and 10 half days. The client has 0 full days and 10 half days.
For boarding - In this example, the pet has 5 Boarding days and the client has 7 Boarding days.
You are able to enable/disable columns. For example, if you do not use images, you can hide that field. Click on the Gear and check/uncheck the options.
You are able to add filters to what appointments display. Click on More.

Invoice - Click to Generate the invoice.
If an invoice has been generated, you can click View to send the Text to Pay link.
IMPORTANT: The Text to Pay feature allows your clients to pay their invoice before picking up their pet. It's a great way to streamline the checkout process and to decrease the time a client has to wait in your lobby to pickup his pet. Please contact 1-888-486-4343 option 1 if you'd like to enable this feature. Click here to learn more about Text to Pay.
The screen will show if the Text to Pay link has been sent.
The screen will show if the Text to Pay link has been paid.
Services today - Shows only services that are scheduled for today's date on the appointment. For example, if the appointment is 10/1 to 10/15 and there is a departure service scheduled on 10/15, that would only display when you're on 10/15.
Pet - This displays information related to the pet, such as warnings and vaccinations. You can also click the View button to go into the pet card to add/edit information.
Package - This tab displays all packages assigned to this pet and client. The packages are color coded so you can quickly find boarding (dark blue) vs daycare (teal).
All packages will be grayed out except for those that apply to this appointment. In this example, we have a boarding appointment so only the board packages will be highlighted.
Paw print icon = Pet package
Person icon = Client package
Client - This displays information related to the client including contact info.
Warnings - This display pet and client warnings. The Service warning is the type of appointment. This example is a Boarding appointment so the warning is a Board warning.
Notes - These are from the Additional Notes tab on the pet card.
Comfortable View - This view expands the columns for easier viewing.
Classic View - This is a simple view and shows pet/client name, displays icons and has appointment date information. It doesn't have the additional features that the Compact and Comfortable view has.
