Settings

Appearance, your account, organization labels, feature toggles, Telegram notifications, categories, your data and account deletion.

Overview

Settings is where you set up the app for yourself and for your organization. Appearance and Account are personal and open to everyone, while every other tab changes the whole organization and is for owners and admins. This is where you teach Hound new tricks.

Everyone: Appearance, Account.
Owners and admins: Organization, Roles, Departments, Hierarchy, Features, Telegram, Categories, Status labels, Condition labels, Manufacturers, Suppliers.

Appearance

Choose how the app looks on this device. The theme control lives only here.

Open Settings, then the Appearance tab.
Choose a Theme: Light or Dark.

Your account

The Account tab is about you, not the organization. It lists the browsers you chose to remember at sign-in, so you can revoke any of them, and holds the option to delete your own account.

Open Settings, then the Account tab.
Under Trusted devices, select Revoke next to a browser to make it ask for the sign-in code again.
Read the Delete my account card for what it does.

Organization and hierarchy labels

The Organization tab shows your organization's details, logo and invitations. The Hierarchy tab renames the levels the app calls Location and Department, so the words match how your team talks.

Open Settings, then the Organization tab.
Edit the organization details and select Save changes. Slug and Plan are shown for reference and cannot be edited.
To change the logo, choose a new file under Organization logo, or select Remove logo.
Open the Hierarchy tab.
Enter the singular and plural names for each level, then select Save labels.

Turn features on or off

The Features tab switches parts of the app on or off for the whole organization, so people only see what you use.

Borrow requests, Floor plans, NFC Tags, Events, Licenses.
Consumables, Accessories, Components, Reports, Custom fields.

Open Settings, then the Features tab.
Switch each feature on or off.
Select Save features.

Notifications and Telegram

The Telegram tab sends checkout summaries and reminders to a Telegram group. In-app notifications appear under the bell in the top bar.

Add the bot to your Telegram group and send a message there, such as the start command.
Ask whoever manages the bot for the group chat ID. Group IDs usually start with -100.
Open Settings, then the Telegram tab.
Paste the Bot token and the Group chat ID, and pick the Timezone.
Choose which messages to send: EOD still-out reminders, Checkout summaries, Check-in summaries, Checkout closed summaries.
Select Save Telegram settings, then Send test.

Categories, labels, manufacturers and suppliers

These tabs hold the lists people pick from when they add or edit assets. Keeping them tidy keeps reports accurate.

Categories, Status labels, Condition labels.
Manufacturers and Suppliers.

Open Settings and choose the tab you want.
Select Add category, Add label, Add manufacturer or Add supplier.
Fill in the dialog and save.
Use the row menu to Edit or delete an existing entry.

Your data and exports

You can ask for a copy of your own data as a JSON file. This is an account action, a download of what the app holds about you.

It covers your profile and your own activity: borrow requests, checkout tickets and custody records you took part in.
It does not include other people's names or email addresses.
Each list is capped at 5,000 rows, and requests are rate limited.
The file is named hound-export with the date.

Delete your account or organization

Anyone can delete their own account. Only an organization owner can delete the whole organization. Both are permanent.

To delete your account, open Settings, Account, then select Delete my account.
Read the list in the dialog, type the confirmation shown, and select Delete account.
To delete an organization as an owner, open Settings, Organization, and scroll to Delete this organization.
Select Delete organization, read the warning, type the phrase the dialog asks for, and confirm.
