Editing your system lists

Lists are the choices staff pick from all over Kennel Connection: breeds, colors, vets, runs, feedings, medications, vaccinations, payment methods, services and more. Keeping your lists tidy makes booking faster and your reports more accurate.

Find a list

1. Go to Administration > Set-up > Lists.
2. Pick the list you want, for example Breeds Lists, Runs Lists, Vets Lists, Vaccinations Lists, Payment Methods Lists, Boarding Primary Services Lists or Grooming Services Lists.

The list opens with your items on the left. Use the Search box to find an item quickly.

Add an item

1. Click Add new item.
2. Fill in the details. The fields depend on the list (for example, a name and description).
3. Click Save.

Change an item

1. Click the item in the list.
2. Make your changes on the right.
3. Click Save, or Cancel to discard your changes.

Retire an item you no longer use

Many lists let you mark an item as inactive. Inactive items stay on past records but show with an Inactive tag in the list. This is usually the safest choice.

Delete an item

1. Click the item.
2. Click Delete.
3. Confirm when asked.

Note: The confirmation says this action cannot be undone. Before deleting, think about whether past appointments, invoices or pets use the item. If in doubt, make it inactive instead.

A few lists to know about

• Vaccinations Lists: set each vaccination's Name, Description, whether it's Required, and its Type and Expires settings. If vaccination reminders are turned on for your business, you'll also see Per Module Settings here. See "Set up automated emails and vaccination reminders".
• Runs Lists and Run Sizes Lists: the kennels or rooms you board pets in.
• Daycare Rooms/Types Lists: your daycare rooms or day types.
• Pricing Rules Lists and Other Rules Lists: rules for pricing.
• Training Classes Lists and Training Types Lists appear only if you use training.

Tip: Packages, discounts, inventory, vendors and employees have their own menus under Set-up. See "Set up packages", "Set up discounts and loyalty", "Manage inventory, vendors and categories" and "Add an employee".

Who can do this

You need list setup access (the List Setup access right) to change lists.

Common questions

I can't see a list I expected. Why? Some lists only show if you use that service, for example training lists.

Can I get a deleted item back? No. Deleting can't be undone, so you'd need to add it again.
