Custom Pet Icons

MyTime offers the flexibility to create custom icons for pets to quickly view important attributes about appointment attendees. This article will guide you through the steps to configure and use icons for a personalized touch to profiles.

Things to Know:

• The "Manage Client Setup" access control setting governs the ability to customize custom fields
• For franchise businesses with global client sharing enabled, custom icons can be created at either the global (parent) level or the local (child) level. 
• Users can either choose from predefined icons provided by MyTime or create their own using SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format
• After custom pet icons are configured, they will appear when editing pet details but will not be applied to the pet unless manually selected.
• Each profile can be associated with multiple icons, allowing for a diverse and personalized representation
• Once icons are added to profiles, they will become visible on the appointment modal and appointment tooltip within the schedule
• The option to create custom icons is managed by the 'Enable Icon Custom Field' setting
