Finding a service guide

The following Guides guides cover the main RescueGroups.org services and should get you using your new service.  Remember that the Pet Adoption Portal is free so if you haven't already set up the service, we urge you to do so.  It's our most popular and most widely complimented service!  We've devoted an entire guide to helping you to set it up and use it.

Using the guides

The view of the guides is different depending on whether you're on your computer or your Android phone or tablet.  The most significant difference you'll see is that when you're using the mobile app, you won't see the list of topics on the left navigation bar.  From your computer, you will see a list of clickable topics like the one below, from the Getting Started with RescueGroups.org guide.  Notice that the title of this article, Finding help in the documentation, is in bold, to help you find your place in the guide.  Also, notice that the title of this chapter has a bullet point to its left.  The chapter beneath, Getting familiar with your account interface, by contrast, has a right-pointing arrow.  The bullet point indicates there are no related pages.  The arrow signifies that the page has related pages connected to it.  Click the arrow to expand the list of connected pages.  

Info

The view of the guides from a mobile device using our mobile app is different and does not include the left navigation menu, the Page Tree. To move from guide to guide, use the list of guides on the home page of each guide.

Below is an example of the topics for the Portal guide.

If you are using the browser view of the guide, you can search from the left navigation bar.

Note

When viewing the guides from the mobile app, you'll notice that you don't see a left navigation bar (so as to conserve space for the content). However, if you find that feature useful, select Browser View in the mobile app, and you will see the same view of the guides as you do from a computer.
