How To Customize Dropdown Menus by K9 Type In Training and Deployment Logs

Customize dropdown menus in your training and deployment logs by assigning items, such as odors, activities, and exercise types, to specific K9 types.

For example, linking narcotic odors to the "Narcotics" K9 type ensures that only narcotics dogs see those options. This keeps dropdown options relevant and prevents other dogs, such as explosives or firearms K9s, from scrolling through irrelevant options.

Note: Only Administrators can access settings to implement K9 filtering.

Add K9 Type to K9 Profile

To filter by K9 type, you first need to add the K9 type to the K9's profile. For detailed steps on how to do this, please refer to this article: How to Add, Edit, or Deactivate a K9.

Add The K9 Type To Your Training And Deployments Options

Next, you’ll need to add the K9 type to the relevant fields in your training and deployment logs.

Below are the customizable fields:

Training Logs: Odors (Training Items), Training Exercises
Deployment Logs: Deployment Activities, Evidence Items

How to Add K9 Types to Dropdown Menus

The steps for adding K9 types to any of the fields are similar:

For Odors: Click on the Odors option in the left menu
For Training Exercises: Open the Training dropdown, then select Exercises and Results from the left menu
For Deployment Activities: Open the Deployment dropdown, then select Activities and Results
For Evidence Items: Open the Deployment dropdown, then select Evidence Items from the left menu

Create or Edit an Item

To add a new item, click + Add
Click on the item to edit it

In the K9 Types dropdown, choose all applicable K9 types. After selecting the K9 types, click Save

Note: If you leave the K9 Type field empty, the app will show the item to all K9s.

Once you've implemented these changes, only items specific to that K9 type and items without a type will be shown.
