Learn from EXAMPLE. Run your business from CLEAN.
Keep the original download untouched. Review the EXAMPLE workbook first to see how records connect, then save a working copy of the CLEAN workbook for your real business.

CLEAN vs EXAMPLE
Use each workbook for the job it was designed to do.
EXAMPLE workbook
Filled reference file for learning the intended workflow. Do not turn it into your live file by deleting the sample records.
Setup sequence
Configure the foundations before entering live work.
Back up the originals
Keep untouched copies of both downloaded workbooks before making changes.
Review EXAMPLE first
Inspect TODAY, DASHBOARD, DAILY ROUTE, INVOICE and representative records to understand the flow.
Configure CLEAN in SETUP
Choose reporting year, currency, distance and weight units, then complete business and contact information.
Add clients, then pets
Create the client record first so pet records can connect to the correct owner.
Add services and dated pricing
Build the active service catalog and maintain effective pricing records before creating bookings.
Operate from bookings
Use BOOKINGS as the operational source, then use DAILY ROUTE, VISIT LOG, PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS and FOLLOW-UPS as work progresses.
Review only after source records are current
TODAY, DASHBOARD and REPORTS depend on the records underneath them.
Regional settings: changing currency, distance or weight settings updates labels only. It does not convert values already entered.
Core workflow
One connected operating chain.
Payment and service delivery may occur in either order depending on the booking. RECURRING SCHEDULES plans recurring demand; it does not automatically create operational bookings. DAILY ROUTE plans order, timing and distance; it is not GPS route optimization.

Other spreadsheet apps
Google Sheets and Apple Numbers compatibility is not claimed. Importing the XLSX files elsewhere may change formulas, dropdowns, validations or formatting.
Troubleshooting
Check the source record before changing the structure.
A dropdown needs another option
Add it only to the appropriate yellow customizable list in SETUP, in the first empty yellow cell. Keep active options contiguous and do not modify teal system-controlled lists.
A dropdown appears blank or incomplete
Confirm the source client, pet, service, booking or schedule exists and has not been removed by structural edits. Test in Microsoft Excel rather than assuming another spreadsheet app reproduces the same validation behavior.
A recurring schedule did not create a booking
This is expected. RECURRING SCHEDULES plans recurring demand; confirmed operational bookings are created separately.
The route order was not optimized automatically
This is expected. DAILY ROUTE is a planning register for order, timing and distance; it is not a GPS routing engine.
Dashboard or reports look incomplete
Check the reporting year/month and the underlying bookings, visits, payments, expenses, travel and follow-up records. Management views can only summarize records that have been entered and pass the workbook checks.
Currency, distance, weight or date display looks different
Check SETUP and your Excel regional settings. Changing unit labels does not convert existing values, and decimal separators can follow the local Excel/operating-system locale.
Data safety
Protect the records around the care.
Client, pet, access, health-context and payment-status records can contain sensitive business information. Keep backups before bulk changes and use appropriate device security, sharing controls and retention practices for your circumstances.
