To streamline the setup of your tablets with Unified Kennel Management (UKM), begin by referring to the access information emailed to you, which includes URLs for the Pet Counselor, Petal, and Admin sections of UKM.
1. Start with a blank tablet, which can still be utilized for other store activities. However, for this setup, focus exclusively on UKM.
2. To access UKM’s web interface, launch the Safari browser and enter the URL for your Pet Counselor section. This grants you access to your Pet Counselor portal.
3. Minimize browser interface distractions by utilizing Safari’s feature to add the site to your home screen. Simply tap the share icon, select “Add to Home Screen,” name the shortcut, and add it. This creates a direct icon on the home screen for easy access.
4. For enhanced security, consider enabling Guided Access to prevent employees from exiting the app without authorization. Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access, turn it on, and set a passcode or enable Face ID.
5. Activate Guided Access by triple-pressing the home button when in the app, and start it. This locks the app on the screen, requiring a triple press to exit.
6. This setup is ideal for tablets dedicated to pet check-in and check-out at the entrance and exit of your kennel, ensuring operational continuity across devices.
This guide outlines the steps to efficiently set up and secure your tablets for UKM, facilitating a streamlined workflow for your pet management needs.
