Overview: What are we talking about?

There are many forms in Gingr that come pre-loaded with many useful fields and can be customized to determine the information you gather about customers and pets, most used are Animal and Owner forms. You have the ability to customize these forms so that you can set where this information is displayed in your app, whether the information is required for customers and/or employees to enter when creating and editing profiles, how the form is organized, and more!

Helpful Hints: Before you begin. 

  • Important! If you delete a field, ALL DATA that has previously been entered into that field on existing Owner and Animal profiles WILL BE DELETED AND CANNOT BE RECOVERED.
     
  • To save any changes you make to the form, you must scroll to the bottom of the form and click the Save button. 

  • If you add information to a field and then proceed to edit the field name, this will remove any previously input information.

  • If you want to use a field type and do not understand the settings, please set the field to Business Form Only and experiment with the other settings. If you get stuck, contact support!
