Admin Guide
A short tour of the admin-only features. You’ll see these sections only if your
account has the admin or super role.
Opening the settings panel
Tap the gear icon in the header. Admins and supers see extra sections under TOOLS and USERS.
Kennel verification
The Kennel verification screen cross-checks each dog’s roster kennel against San José ACS’s GIS data, so you can spot dogs whose location in the sheet doesn’t match where they actually are.
- MATCH (green) — roster and GIS agree.
- MISMATCH (red) — roster says one kennel, GIS says another. Investigate.
- NOT FOUND (yellow) — animal ID isn’t in GIS today. Likely off-site or just-arrived.
Opening this screen from the settings panel automatically refreshes the data; the timestamp under the title shows when the last batch ran. Use the refresh icon (↺) at any time to re-run.
Tap a row to jump to that dog’s detail page.
Managing users
The User management section under settings lets you add or remove walkers, set their color grade, and promote or demote roles.
Roles:
- walker — default; can use the app and see the roster.
- admin — everything a walker can do, plus the tools above.
- super — admin, plus can manage other admins.
New walkers must be invited by email (their shelter Google address) before they can sign in.
Push notifications
Toggle Push notifications in the settings panel to enable browser push for your own account. The first toggle prompts the OS to allow notifications.
The app also runs scheduled push jobs server-side (configured via cron) for routine reminders to all subscribed walkers.
