Organization

The roster, your notifications, and the absence grid week by week.

• Roster: the owner also finds “Invite a teammate” and “Pending invitations”; every other role sees the roster alone.
• “My notifications”: “Stop notifying me for this kennel” turns off, for you only, the care reminders by e-mail — vaccinations, vet follow-ups, end of treatments, heats, whelping, pregnancy checks, equipment servicing —; teammates keep theirs, and nothing changes inside the app. There is no chore reminder by e-mail. The day's reminders go out at 07:10: ticking the box between 07:00 and 07:10 still lets the morning mail through. Nobody else sees this setting.
• “Availability”: a weekly grid, twelve weeks at a time (“Previous” / “Next”), green for available, red for out.
• Absence: reason (Vacation, Sick, Unavailable, Other), start and end dates, optional note. Each member sets their own; the owner can set or edit anyone's.

Chore templates, and a table showing who did what over 7 days.

• Templates: recurring or one-off chores — feed, walk, clean, or a custom type with its own label —, frequency (every day, certain days, once on a date), optional times, the dog (or the whole kennel), assigned teammates. Only the owner creates, edits, deactivates or deletes them; others read them, and a Viewer doesn't see the tab.
• Checking off: today's due chores are checked off on the dashboard, not here; a checked chore disappears from that list.
• Tracking (everyone except Viewer): one row per chore and time of day, one column per day. A cell shows the initials of who did it (key under the table), “to do” for today, ✕ when nobody checked it on a past day, “–” when it wasn't scheduled. “Previous week” / “Next week” go back in time.
• Catching up: within the last 7 days, clicking a ✕ or “to do” cell checks it, after a confirmation. The owner picks who did it; others check in their own name. A check is undone the same way, by the person it's credited to or by the owner. Beyond 7 days, read-only.
• Limits: the tracking shows who checked, never what time (offline, the check only arrives once the connection is back: the time would be the sending time). And a chore is never ✕ for a day before its last edit: MushMate only keeps its current definition.

The team's board; an “Urgent” message demands a confirmation.

• Posting (everyone except Viewer): optional title, body, priority (Normal, Important, Urgent), recipient (“All members” or one teammate, excluding Viewers).
• A message pinned by the owner stays on top. The author edits or deletes their message; the owner, any. Editing a message changes its title, its body and its priority (Normal, Important, Urgent) — not its recipient.
• Urgent: red border. The targeted recipient — or, for the whole team, whoever reacts first — sees “Got it”; until someone confirms: “Awaiting confirmation”.

The kennel's written procedures, by category: everyone reads them, two roles write them.

• Categories: Feeding, Cleaning, Care, Other.
• Writing: the owner and the Vet role. Everyone else sees, in place of “New protocol”, “Only the owner and the vet can create or edit protocols.”
• Importing (those two roles): a PDF or photos of paper sheets, up to 25 MB. MushMate suggests the protocols found, to uncheck before saving. A Word file isn't read directly: save it as a PDF first.

A word, photos if needed; nothing to sort or search, no editing afterward.

• Any member — Viewer included — writes; the author or the owner deletes.
• A note can't be made of photos alone: a minimum of text is required.

On the phone, reading is open to all, writing follows the roles, and “Members” can be written by the owner.

• Messages, Notes: every role, same rules as the web (a Viewer reads without posting). Posting or editing a message needs the network; Notes works offline and goes out when the connection is back. “Edit” on a message — yours, or any for the owner — also changes its priority; the priority is only sent if you changed it.
• Offline, the last copy: Messages, today's chore list and the task templates can be read from their last copy, dated (“Offline · copy from Oct 11 18:02”) — if they have already been opened online on this phone; otherwise the screen says “Offline” and offers “Retry”. Pulling the screen down re-reads.
• Protocols: read-only, and readable without a network — the phone keeps a copy, refreshed at every sync, and the screen says “Last read: …”. After seven days without a read, or when the date is unknown (a copy that came from a backup), a banner says so, with “Retry”; a phone that has never synced says so too, instead of showing “No protocols”. Every role reads them. Adding or editing is done on the web.
• Tasks: today's list is on “Today”; creating or editing a template (“Manage chores”) stays owner-only and needs the network. The template there takes, as on the web, several times a day (“Add a time”: one checkbox per time, kept earliest to latest, none for a one-off chore) and assigned people (among those who can tick a chore; advisory only, anyone can tick, assigned or not). A member with no name entered reads “Member”, their role underneath; a person who has left the kennel stays assigned until you untick them.
• “Task tracking”: the same tracking as the web, day by day; network required, absent for a Viewer. “Mark as done” and “Undo” there do what the web clicks do.
• “Members”: the owner invites, revokes an invitation, changes a role, sets or clears an access end date and removes a member (Inviting your team); the other roles read the list. Under the list, “My notifications” (every role) turns off your care reminders by e-mail, as on the web; it needs the network, and without one the phone says it doesn't know where the setting stands instead of showing a switch that reads “off”. Below, “Availability” shows the same 12-week grid, grey for unavailable; “I'll be unavailable” declares an absence, and a tapped cell moves or removes it (yours, or anyone's for the owner). The phone neither shows nor writes the reason: it says “Unavailable”, even for an absence set on the web with a reason.
• Invitee's side: “My invitations” (Manage › Organization) accepts an invitation you received, while one is waiting for your account's email address; the “Create your kennel” screen offers it before its form.
