PawPlacer settings use a dedicated settings sidebar. The switch at the top moves between Organization Settings, which affect the whole workspace, and User Settings, which only affect your own account.
Accessing Settings
Open Settings from the app sidebar. On desktop, the settings sidebar stays visible on the left. On smaller screens, use the Settings button to open the settings menu.
Organization Settings are shown by default for users with organization settings access. Use the Organization/User switch at the top of the settings sidebar to move between organization pages and personal account pages. Users without organization settings access are taken directly to User Settings.
Organization Settings
These settings affect your entire organization. Some pages are viewable by privileged users, while editing sensitive settings usually requires an admin, owner, or a more specific role.

Organization Settings require organization settings access. Some pages are visible to privileged users but only editable by admins, owners, or users with a page-specific role. User Settings are always available to the logged-in user for their own account.
Getting Help
Each settings page includes inline help text and tooltips. For further assistance, your Organization ID is available on the Organization settings page; include it when contacting support.
