Use Today's View

When To Use This#

Use Today View when staff need to monitor the current operating day from the Schedule page: arrivals, live rooms and fields, checked-out dogs, staff coverage, and shift checklist work.

Before You Start#

• Sign in to the staff app for the correct business.
• Confirm the date before taking day-of action.
• Use a staff account with attendance access before checking dogs in, checking dogs out, moving dogs, or correcting attendance.
• Follow business policy for no-show, absence, checkout, closeout, capacity, vaccination, and customer communication decisions.

Schedule Page And Today View#

Today View is the current-day version of the Schedule page. The visible page may say Schedule in navigation and Today in the page header; treat them as the same daily operations board.

Use the date controls to return to Today if another day is selected. Older Today and Employee Operations shortcuts now open the Schedule page instead of separate workspaces. If an older shortcut drops filters or context, open Schedule and choose Today again.

Daily Board Sections#

Review the summary cards first, then work through the board sections:

• Waiting arrivals: dogs expected but not yet checked in.
• Fields and rooms: dogs currently checked in and their visible placement.
• Checked-out dogs: dogs that have already left for the day.
• All dogs: the day directory for search and quick review.

Search by dog, family, service, or area context when a dog is not visible.

Dog Cards And Day-Of Actions#

Select a dog card to open the side sheet before taking action. The side sheet can show day-of context, attendance actions, room or field movement, vaccination status, and a link to the full dog profile.

Only use the actions that match the dog's visible state. For example, check-in actions apply before or during arrival, checkout applies after a dog is checked in, and closeout or correction actions should follow the business owner's approved process.

Shift Checklist#

If the signed-in staff member has a linked employee record and checklist items for the day, Today View can show checklist work on the Schedule page. Older Employee Operations links should be treated as shortcuts back to this daily board.

If checklist items are missing, confirm the staff member is signed in to the right business and ask an owner or admin to review employee setup before treating the checklist as a product issue.

When Today's View Looks Wrong#

• If the board does not match the expected day, use the date controls and select Today.
• If an older shortcut drops filters, reopen Schedule and reapply the date, area, dog, or search filter.
• If a dog is not visible, clear filters and search by dog, family, or service.
• If an attendance action is missing, first confirm the dog is in the right visible state for that action.
• If the action should be available but is still missing, ask an owner or admin to review attendance access on the Access page.
