Pet parents can easily submit their pet's immunization records from the Customer Portal by simply dragging and dropping a scanned PDF or image file of their records. In this article we will show you how customers can upload immunization records, and how the business can then locate the file and update expiration dates accordingly.

This article includes:

• How to: Upload Immunization Records in the Customer Portal
• How to: Locate Uploaded Files on the Business Side

Helpful Hint: Before you begin.

• You can configure user groups to receive a notification when customers upload new files. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Reports & More » Groups and turn on the Notification: New Owner Uploaded File permission.
  
  • This permission can be local to only locations where the owner has their home location set or can be global, meaning a notification will display at all locations when a customer uploads a file, regardless of their home location. 
  • For more information see our article on App Notifications. 
    
    
• If there is no immunization record or there is an exception for a record, you must still enter a date in order to save. Optionally write a note to explain the situation or exception.
