Overview: What are we talking about?
The services facilities provide vary as well as the information businesses require on a customer or pet profile. For example, groomers may need to know how difficult a pet is on the table, while a boarding facility may need to know if a pet has ever bitten someone. Custom Fields will allow users to gather information relevant to their business needs in addition to our pre-existing hardcoded profile fields.
This article includes:
- How to add and enable custom fields
- Custom fields on customer and pet profiles
- Custom fields on the boarding/kennel card
- Custom fields on the online booker
