How to Use Settings

Settings is where you tell THE RACK how your program runs. Your business profile, breeding defaults, feeding preferences, invoice details, and privacy controls all live here. Most of these are set once and rarely changed, but every default you configure here saves time on the forms you use every day.

Step 1: Open the Settings Page

Click the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar to open Settings. At the top of the page, the Account Overview card shows your current plan, total animals in your program, and active clutches.

The Settings page opens with your Account Overview at the top.

Step 2: Set Up Your Business Profile

The Business Profile section controls what appears on your invoices, report cards, and ship card inserts.

Field	What It Does
Business Logos	Upload dark mode and light mode logos. SVG with transparent background recommended.
Business Name	Appears on invoices, the Dashboard welcome card, and report cards.
Owner Name	Your name as the business owner.
Business Tagline	Short tagline under your business name on invoices.
Location	City, state, and zip code.
Email / Phone	Contact information shown on invoices.
Website / Instagram	Your web presence. Shown on invoices and report cards.

The Business Profile section controls what appears on your invoices and public-facing documents.

Step 3: Configure Breeding Settings

Field	What It Does
Default Species	Pre-fills the species field when adding new animals.
Incubation Days	Calculates estimated hatch dates. Default is 55 days.
Season Start	The month your breeding season begins.
Unique ID Mode	Auto-Generate (B-2025-0001) or Custom IDs.
Quarantine Days	Default quarantine period for new arrivals.
Ready to List Days	Age when hatchlings appear in the Ready to List queue in Sales HQ.

Breeding Settings control your incubation estimates, ID format, and quarantine defaults.

Step 4: Set Feeding Defaults

Field	What It Does
Feeding Interval	Days between feedings. Determines when animals appear in Due to Eat Today.

Adult Prey Size	Default prey size for adult breeders.
Hatchling Prey Size	Default prey size for hatchlings.

You can override any of these defaults per animal in their individual profile.

Feeding Defaults save time by pre-filling values on every feeding form.

Step 5: Manage Sharing and Privacy

The Sharing and Privacy section controls what buyers can see when they scan the QR code on your ship card inserts.

Toggle Public Report Cards on to let buyers view the animal's report card, including genetics, feeding history, and weight records. Toggle it off to hide all report cards from public view.

The Sharing and Privacy toggle controls buyer access to report cards via QR code.
