1.4.3. The Dashboard

The dashboard is where most clinics start their day.

The dashboard is where most clinics start their day.

From here you can:

  • See where you are in your clinic flow.
  • Check for new memos.
  • Confirm all microchips have been registered.
  • Review appointments that have not been checked out.


Accessing the Dashboard

  • No matter where you are in HQ, clicking your clinic’s name in the right corner will bring you back to the dashboard.

Calendar Snapshot

The calendar snapshot highlights two key metrics:

  1. Checked-Out Animals – the number of animals checked out of HQ so far today.
  2. Pending Appointments – the number of animals not yet checked in.


Microchip Alerts

On the dashboard, you may see a section for Unsuccessful Microchip Uploads.

This section displays error messages returned by the microchip company when an upload fails.

What to Do:

  • If the error is fixable, correct the mistake in the record and then re-check out the appointment.
  • If you’re unsure what the error means, see the Microchip section of this manual for details.
  • As a last resort, you may open a help ticket for assistance.

Pro Tip The Failed Uploads section only appears temporarily. If the error clears from the dashboard, you can review the Microchip Log for more details.


Memos

  • Memos are short messages from HQ about important updates — anything from bug notifications to new features.
  • Click the memo link to read it.
  • When finished, click the X to delete it. ✅ Pro Tip: Deleting removes the memo from your view only. Once deleted, it cannot be restored.

Status: In Progress

On the right side of the dashboard, the In Progress section lists appointments that have not been checked out.

  • All animals must be checked out by the end of the day.
  • If animals remain “In Progress,” data will not flow into reports or accounting, and microchips will not be registered.
  • This section should always be kept at 0 animals In Progress.
  • Missed appointments remain In Progress until they are checked out.
  • This list shows only previous-day and older in-progress appointments, not same-day ones.
  • Click on the active links to access and close out these appointments.
