# Advanced settings

_How to change TecPet's advanced settings: administrator password, billing mode, employee identification, minimum interval, require employee and blocked notifications._

> **💡 Tip**
>
> Every change here is **logged** (who changed it, what and when) in the advanced settings history. Before asking support for a change, check that history — often an option was flipped by mistake and you can revert it right away on the screen itself.

**Advanced settings** gather the options that change TecPet's behavior for the **whole store**: the password that protects sensitive screens, how prices are built, how employees identify themselves, the schedule interval and which automatic notifications stay off. Each setting is **independent** — you change a field, click **Save** and confirm with the **administrator password**. Change carefully: some settings affect the [schedule](/en/operacao/agenda/entender-a-agenda/), service prices and team access.

## Step 1 — Open Advanced settings

In the **Settings** menu, go to **My Account → Advanced Settings**. The screen opens with a highlighted warning and the list of settings, each with an **(i)** icon explaining what it does. **Administrator password** appears at the top and the other settings below.

## Step 2 — Change the administrator password

The **administrator password** is the **6-digit** code that unlocks the system's sensitive actions (including saving any other setting on this screen). To change it:
1. Click **Change** on the **Administrator password** row;
2. Fill in **Current password**, **New password** and **Confirm new password** — all accept only **6 numbers**;
3. The new password **cannot be the same** as the current one;
4. Click **Change Password**.

If the current password is wrong, the system warns you and doesn't save. From then on, the **whole team** uses the new password to unlock the admin options — coordinate the change with everyone who needs it first.

## Step 3 — Change the billing mode

Under **Billing mode**, choose how service prices vary:
1. Open the selector and pick **Size & Coat** or **Breed**;
2. Click **Save** (the button only appears when you change the value);
3. Confirm the warning and type the **administrator password**.

It's the **same setting** as [Billing parameters](/en/configuracao/geral/parametros-de-cobranca/) — it defines the price table format. **Warning:** switching this mode **deactivates all services, combos and plans** of the store (see the caution at the end of the article).

## Step 4 — Set the employee identification

Under **Employee identification mode**, choose how the team identifies itself when operating the system:
1. Open the selector and pick one of the options;
2. Click **Save**;
3. Confirm and type the **administrator password**.

## Step 5 — Adjust the minimum allowed interval

The **Minimum allowed interval** is the smallest unit of time used in the [schedule](/en/operacao/agenda/entender-a-agenda/) — it applies to the minimum time of a service, the store's operating interval and the employees' hours:
1. Open the selector and pick **5**, **15**, **30** or **60** minutes;
2. Click **Save**;
3. Confirm the warning and type the **administrator password**.

When you change it, the services' **price table** is automatically readjusted to the new interval.

## Step 6 — Require employee to access the customer

Under **Require employee to access customer info**, set whether identifying the employee is needed to open a customer's data:
1. Open the selector and pick **Yes** or **No**;
2. Click **Save**;
3. Confirm and type the **administrator password**.

With **Yes**, opening a customer's detailed data asks for the employee's **4-digit code** — useful for access control and data privacy.

## Step 7 — Block automatic notifications

Under **Blocked notifications** you turn off types of [automatic notification](/en/configuracao/geral/notificacoes-automaticas/) — and this is done **per service segment** (a selector shows up for each active segment of the store: **Pet Shop**, **Clinic** and **Daycare/Hotel**):
1. In the selector of the desired segment, pick the notification types that should **not** be sent (or **Block all notifications** to turn off the whole list for that segment);
2. Click **Save**;
3. Confirm the warning and type the **administrator password**.

The blocked types stop going out automatically when the event happens, **only in the chosen segment** — the other segments stay as they were. Some essential types (like the customer's/pet's birthday) don't appear in the list because they **can't be blocked**.

## The screen's fields, one by one

- **Administrator password** — **6-digit** code that unlocks sensitive actions; changed via the **Change** button;
- **Billing mode** — **Size & Coat** or **Breed**; defines the price table format (same setting as Billing parameters);
- **Employee identification mode** — **4-digit code** or **Identification buttons**; defines how the team identifies itself;
- **Minimum allowed interval** — **5**, **15**, **30** or **60** minutes; the smallest unit of time of the schedule;
- **Require employee to access customer info** — **Yes** or **No**; with Yes, asks for the 4-digit code to open the customer's data;
- **Blocked notifications** — per segment (**Pet Shop**, **Clinic**, **Daycare/Hotel**); list of types to turn off, or **Block all notifications**.

## How to revert a setting changed by mistake

Got a setting wrong? Almost everything can be undone **on the screen itself**: go back to the field, pick the previous value, click **Save** and confirm with the **administrator password**. All changes are recorded in the **advanced settings history** (who changed it, what and when), so it's easy to see what was there before. **Important exception:** the **Billing mode** deactivates services, combos and plans — switching the mode back does **not** re-register what was deactivated; in that case, **contact support** before doing anything.

> **⚠️ Heads up**
>
> Each setting saves **on its own** and asks for the **administrator password** before confirming. If you touch a field but don't click **Save**, nothing changes — and leaving the screen reverts it to what it was.

> **🚫 Caution**
>
> Switching the **Billing mode** (Size & Coat ⇄ Breed) **deactivates all services, combos and plans/packages** of the store — you'll have to **set the whole account up again**. Use it only on a new store or when you're sure you'll re-register everything. When in doubt, **contact support first**.

### Billing by Size & Coat
With **Size & Coat** (the most common mode), each service's price varies by the pet's **size** (Micro to Giant) and **coat** (Short/Medium/Long). It's the same mode set in [Billing parameters](/en/configuracao/geral/parametros-de-cobranca/). Keep this mode if you charge most pets by the size + coat combination.

### Billing by Breed
With **Breed**, the price is set by the pet's **breed**, no longer by size and coat. The price table in [Billing parameters](/en/configuracao/geral/parametros-de-cobranca/) changes shape (one row per breed). **Switching to this mode deactivates current services, combos and plans** — only do it on a new store or while re-registering everything.
