Adjust default behaviors like microchip generation, notifications, durations, and integrations.
Overview
Configuration defines how the app behaves for your organization. From microchip generation rules and default durations to notification channels and integrations, settings make daily work faster and more reliable. Change defaults for appointments, grooming/training sessions, diet plans, and boarding windows so teams stop repeating the same setup.
- Consistency: Standardize IDs, durations, and options across all users.
- Automation: Auto‑schedule boosters, auto‑generate microchips, and more.
- Integrations: Calendar and Inventory links that boost coordination and control.
