Son Espace SantéBreederShelterBoarding

Settings are split between your personal profile, the app's display and, for professionals, the facility settings. This page helps you find each of them.

Where to find the settings

Everything starts from the menu at the top left:

  • Account section: Profile, My account (web portal) and Customize the bar;
  • Organization section (Breeder, Shelter and Boarding apps): the facility's Settings;
  • at the bottom of the menu: your name (which opens your profile), the Language, the theme and logging out.

Your profile

Menu, Account section, Profile. The page is organised into tabs; confirm your changes with Save in the action bar.

Profile

Photo, first name, last name, sex, date of birth, phone number and address.

Account

Email, password, two-step verification and connected apps.

Preferences

Privacy, journal posts, units. Son Espace Santé only.

Alerts

Heatwave alerts, tips and newsletter. Son Espace Santé only.

The Account tab is detailed in Login and security.

The Preferences tab (Son Espace Santé)

  • I want to be visible in searches: needed so that other users can add you as a friend or transfer an animal to you.
  • Activate your pets' website: a page anyone can view, showing the animals you have chosen to display on it. The Open my website and Copy the link buttons appear once it is active.
  • Hide the start and end of my GPS tracks: the first and last 200 metres of your activities are hidden from others, to protect your home.
  • Default visibility of publications: Public, Friends or Private. You can always change it when you post.
  • Automatically publish my activities in the journal, and their default visibility.
  • Weight unit (kilograms or pounds) and Default currency (€, $ or £).

The Alerts tab (Son Espace Santé)

  • Weather alerts: push notification and email in case of a heatwave.
  • Main alert location: the place monitored for heatwaves. Without a location set, you will not receive heatwave alerts. The areas you follow on the community map are also used.
  • Advice & prevention and Newsletter.

More details in Alerts and tips.

Language, theme and time zone

Changing the language

  1. Open the menu.
  2. At the bottom, tap the button showing the flag and the current language code (for example FR).
  3. Choose your language from the list: the app switches to that language straight away.

The app is available in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

You can also choose the language on the My account portal, Language section: this choice then applies to all your apps.

Light or dark theme

At the bottom of the menu, the theme button switches between automatic mode (which follows your device's setting) and dark mode.

Time zone

There is nothing to set: the app uses your device's time zone. Your appointments and reminders are shown in local time, even when you travel.

Customising the button bar

You can choose which buttons appear directly at the bottom of the screen and in what order.

  1. Open the menu, Account section, Customize the bar. Until you have customised your bar, the entry also appears at the bottom of the More button's list.
  2. Drag a row to change its position. The first buttons stay visible (5 on a phone, 8 on a computer); the rest are tucked behind the More button, under the Behind the « more » button line.
  3. Tap a row's eye to hide an entry you don't use. It is then marked Hidden and also disappears from the menu if it appears there. Tap the eye again to show it again.
  4. Tap Save.

The Homepage button always stays first, with a padlock. The Reset to default button at the top right restores the original order.

A row marked Visible according to your rights only appears if your role in the team gives you access to it.

Tip: in the professional apps, entries designed for individuals (such as Activities, Heart rate or Community map) are hidden by default. You can show them again here.

The customisation is saved on the device: do it again on each phone or computer you use.

Facility settings

BreederShelterBoarding

Menu, Organization section, Settings. In the Boarding app, Settings is also part of the button bar (often behind the More button). Tapping the facility's name at the top of the home screen opens Identity and contact details directly.

The top of the page shows your public page's name, town and link, with Copy the link and Open. Groups of rows follow; each one opens a sub-page and summarises its status. A dot flags information marked To complete.

Group Contents
My facility Identity and contact details, Position on the map, Legal information, Public page and website, Species accepted.
My boarding facility Capacity, kennels, online booking, public calendar, rates, deposit, required vaccines, stay logbook, boarding facility documents. See Boarding settings.

Facility preferences

To go further: Public page, Members and permissions, E-invoicing, Online payment and Accounting.

Syncing the calendar with your phone's calendar

From the Agenda button, the settings icon at the top right opens Calendar Synchronization:

  • on a phone, export your events to the phone's calendar and import external calendars;
  • in a browser, tap Generate Link to get a read-only subscription link to add to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. Revoke and generate a new link disables the old one.

Details are in Calendar and care.

Connected apps

If you have authorised an assistant or an external app to access your account, you will find it in Profile, Account tab, Connected applications block, Manage button.

Each app shows the date it was connected and the permissions granted. These apps can only add information, never change or delete it.

Tap Revoke access, then confirm with Revoke: the app will no longer be able to read or write anything in your account.

Deleting your account

  1. Open the menu, Account section, Profile.
  2. In the action bar, tap Delete, on the left.
  3. Read the confirmation message, then tap Yes, delete my account.

Deletion is immediate:

  • your personal information and the information identifying your animals (name, microchip, photo, description) is erased;
  • your public page and your animals' pages are removed;
  • your friend links are deleted, in both directions;
  • all your devices are logged out and no longer receive notifications;
  • connected apps lose their access.
Deletion is permanent: you will no longer be able to access this account. It applies to the space of the app you are logged in to; your spaces in the other Son espace santé apps are kept.
