Locking

The lock on the toolbar creates a '.lock' file. Existence of this file indicates that someone is editing and you will not be allowed to edit. Since this relies on file syncing (for instance Google Drive), this may take a couple minutes before the UI knows the other person is editing. This is not fail-safe and both people could end up editing at the same time. If that happens, then you will need to resolve the difference. This should show up as a conflict in Google Drive (somehow?).

If something went wrong and the program crashed while editing, all changes will be lost (changes are only saved when you save the file). In addition, the lock file will be left behind. You can just go to where that file is and delete it.

Views

Offered

These are classes that are currently offered (not active classes, that is the 'Classes' view).

  • WeekView: A calendar-like view of offered classes.
    This will not list inactive classes.
  • ListView: All offerings. The 'Visible' column indicates it can be seen in the WeekView.
  • Right-click:
    • 'Create class' to create a new class from an offering.
    • 'View All' to switch between the List and Calendar views.

Classes

Classes in session (and old sessions)

  • This is where the Roster and Attendance are maintained.

Owners

List of people

  • Right-click:
    • 'Delete': Delete an owner if they have no dogs. Note: if there is an associated contact, the contact will be modified to preserve the owner's contact information.
    • 'Add to Class': Add a dog to a class.

Dogs

List of dogs

  • When a dog is deceased, it is marked as hidden. Also, dogs with no owner or an inactive owner are also hidden.
  • Right-click:
    • 'Delete': Delete a dog if they are not in any classes.
    • 'Add to Class': Add a dog to a class.

Contacts

Contact list.

  • This is a list of both new people and people in the Owners section.
  • When a contact is marked as 'Done', it is automatically marked as hidden.
  • Right-click:
    • 'Convert': Convert a new contact into an Owner. You can then add a new dog.
