Launching the app for the first time

When launching the app for the first time, you'll be asked to enter:

• Your RescueGroups.org account number.

• Your RescueGroups.org username and password.  This is the same username and password you use to sign in to your RescueGroups.org account.

After successfully signing in, an index is created using all the animals in your RescueGroups.org account.  The time required varies on the number of animals.  A progress dialog is displayed with the total of animals, and percentage completed.  The next time you start the app, only the changes are downloaded.

Once the index is built,  a list of animals is displayed along with thumbnails.  Initially, only animals with the status of "Intake", and “Available” are displayed.  Select Settings from the menu (upper right corner of the screen) and choose which animal status should be displayed each time you start the app.  For instance, you might want to select Intake, Available, Pending, Hold, and Treatment.

Displaying pictures

A short press on an animal in the list will display its picture if there is one.  If there are multiple pictures, you can view the others by pressing on the arrows displayed on either side of the picture.  The arrows appear only if there are more pictures to view.
