Dogs can now be imported and verified from the Dogs Australia database (Registry), these dogs we call 'Registry Dogs'. When the dog is converted to a Registry Dog, the pedigree and owner information of the dog cannot be changed. However, some personal details can still be changed. If the details of the dog changes in the Registry, there is a refresh process that can update the details of your dog in ShowManager.
Converting your dog to a Registry Dog will also allow you to share your dog between accounts and also control access of who can view and enter the dog. Results and certificates will also be available to all accounts that have access to the dog.
Convert a dog to a 'Registry Dog'
From the Dogs Details page, click on the 'Check for dog updates' button.

The dog's details are imported from the Registry and compared with the existing information in your account to verify the information is correct. Any differences in the dog's information will be displayed, the most common difference will be the name of the dog. The name is now split between their Titles, Prefixes, Name and suffixes. Save the changes to accept.

Security Access Levels
Access levels for the dog are controlled by the dogs 'Administrator'. There can be one or many administrators. Other access levels available are;
