    Key Field

    Field Description

    Name

    A descriptive name for this Key. This is how you will identify this specific Toolkit.

    Included Statuses

    Select the individual statuses that you want to display in this Toolkit. Each status you include must also be a public status by the organization.

    Included Species

    Select the individual species that you want to make public in this Key. 

    Included Fields

    Select the individual pet data fields that you want to make public in this Key. These fields are then included for display on the list or grid view, not the animal detail page. 

    Sort by and Sort orderSelect the field you would like to sort the results by (default), and the order (ascending or descending).

    Include Courtesy Listings

    Select if you would like to include, exclude or include only your courtesy listings in this Toolkit.

    Pets per row and Pets per page

    Select how many pets should be shown per row and how many pets per page. Not all search layouts use both options – For example, the list layouts only use the Pets per page option.

    Default postal code

    Enter the default postal/zip code we should use for animal searches if we are unable to determine the visitors' geographic location.

...

To use these sections, click the down arrow next to the field, such as Available Fields, and use your cursor to highlight a selection. Then on the right of the field, click the green plus arrow (plus) to add it. It will be copied from the Available Fields to the Included Fields section and will be added to your layout. 

Info

Included fields are displayed on the list/grid view, not the animal detail page. 


Be selective in choosing fields to display on the toolkit. When you include a field, the toolkit displays the result of that entry, not the name of the entry and the result. Therefore, if you select a field whose result could be yes or no, you may see the example below displayed on your toolkit search layout. Your visitor has no idea what that yes or no means. Likewise, if you include the adoption fee, it will not display as a monetary value, simply as a number, and a visitor may not immediately grasp what that number means. We recommend you put the adoption fee in the description instead of in the toolkit layout.
