Helpful Hints: Before you begin.

• In Gingr, there are several types of forms to capture pieces of information. The owner form is what staff and customers can use to fill out information for the pet parent profile.
  
  
• Forms are highly customizable and allow you to add many types of fields and requirements to ensure you are capturing as much information as is important to your business.
  
  
• Before we get started, take time to think about the different questions you want to capture about your customers for the pet parent profile. Also think: what questions are required? Are they required for staff to fill out, customers to fill out on the customer portal, or both? Should customers that are newly registering on the customer portal fill them out?
