Devices

This page lists the phones and tablets that have signed in to your shelter, and lets administrators control which ones may reach animal data.

Who can use this page: administrators.

When approval is needed

Device approval is optional — it only applies if your shelter turns it on. In Organization settings → Operational policies you choose which roles require device approval. If that list is empty, devices work as soon as someone signs in and this page is just a record. If a role is listed, that role's new devices must be approved here first.

What device fingerprinting is

When someone signs in, the app notes a few harmless details about the device — its browser and operating system, language, screen size, and time zone — and combines them into a fingerprint. It's not tracking the person; it's a way to recognize "this is the same tablet as last time" so a brand-new, unrecognized device can be flagged for approval. No passwords or personal data are part of the fingerprint.

Approve, deny, or revoke a device

When a new device signs in (for a role that requires approval), it appears here as pending. Review who it belongs to and its details, then:

• Approve — grant it access.
• Deny — refuse it.
• Revoke — remove access from a device that was previously approved (for example a lost tablet).

Until a device is approved, that session is restricted — the person can sign in but can't reach animal data.
