Preparing lines ahead on the website meant knowing where to look: the “Teams” button in the Dogs band, then a small link per team, then a dialog. Rigs now have their own tab.
What changes
Kennel › Rigs. Right after “Dogs”. Every rig of the kennel, one card each: its team, its line drawn pair by pair, and for every dog its photo and harness size. A filter at the top keeps a single team. The card says “Ready” when every placed dog has a harness size noted, otherwise how many do not.
Prepare a rig opens the editor as a full page, no longer a dialog: the line on the left, the reserve on the right, the same gestures as before (tap a place then a dog, drag, or the keyboard). Under every placed dog: “Harness 5.5”, with the round in the harness colour and the bar in its cord colour — the marker your kennel noted, otherwise the maker's. Under the line, “Harnesses to take out” counts what to take off the hooks, size by size.
A team is built with the same gesture. Creating or editing a team opens a page: the team on the left, the pack on the right. Tap a dog to move it across, or drag it. The pack says which other teams each dog already runs in.
What others see, and what is never shown
Every kennel member sees the space, the cards and the harnesses. Preparing, editing or deleting a rig stays with the owner and handlers; creating or editing a team, with the owner. The others do not see those buttons. None of it leaves the kennel.
What it does not do
- No size is guessed. A dog with no size noted shows “Harness size not noted”, and “Harnesses to take out” names it with a link to “Worn equipment” on its page. Nothing is inferred from its weight.
- A dog with two harness models is not decided for you. It is “pick one”, never counted twice.
- The phone does not change. Its rigs stay under Manage › Resources, and its Line screen keeps its “Harness” band. It is the same rig on both sides.
- The card does not say who is resting today. A rig is a prepared line; the start is where the app says who can go.
- A rig's printed sheet has no markers. A marker photocopied in black and white no longer says its colour.
Two decisions taken against the obvious
The photo stays, the harness goes next to the name. Putting the harness colour on the dog's round would have saved room. Yet you recognise a dog by its face, not by a colour: photos are bigger, and the size is written out next to the name.
The editor leaves its dialog. A dialog looked quicker. But a sixteen-dog line, its reserve and its harnesses did not fit without scrolling: the full page shows them together, and “Save” brings you back to the space, on the right team.
