Groups
A group is the main organisational unit in Kinkeep. It represents a colony, a foster family, a shelter section, or any other logical collection of animals.
Group types
| Type | When to use |
|---|---|
Colony | Community animals living in the same outdoor location |
Family | Animals living in the same household or foster home |
Other | Any other grouping that doesn't fit the above |
What a group contains
- Name and optional description.
- Location — address plus optional GPS coordinates (latitude / longitude) displayed on a map.
- Photo — a logo or representative image.
- Members — the individual animals that belong to the group.
- Group-level entries — notes, events, or media that apply to the group as a whole rather than to a single animal.
Organisations and access
A group can be affiliated with one or more organisations, and can just as well have none. The organisation does not own the group: dissolving it leaves the group and its animals untouched.
Belonging to an organisation grants no access to its affiliated groups. To work with a group you need a role in that group. See People and roles.
Group timeline
The group timeline aggregates all entries from the group itself and all its members in a single chronological feed. You can filter it by entry type (medical, weight, notes, media).
Upcoming events
Each group page shows a short list of upcoming events for the next 60 days — vet appointments, scheduled treatments, and custom events — pulled directly from the calendar.
