The wall display
Updated September 30, 2026
The wall display is a read-only screen for a TV in your treatment room. It shows what the team needs at a glance, and refreshes itself every 2 minutes.
What it shows
- The clinic name, date, a big clock and who's on shift
- Needs-attention chips, like patients overdue on treatments, records to upload, chores due now and equipment services due, or All caught up
- In hospital: each patient and their next treatment time, with overdue ones marked
- Clinic-wide Clinic Feed posts, Tug of War, Kudos and Wins today
Turn it on
- Go to Clinic Settings → Clinic home.
- Under Wall display, turn on Allow the wall display.
Put it on the TV
- Sign in to houndkit on the computer connected to the TV.
- In Clinic Settings → Clinic home, tap Open the wall display.
- Tap Full screen, then Start now (or wait a few seconds).
How it stays safe
- It doesn't lock itself while it's showing.
- Any tap or key press locks it straight away, so nobody can use it to get into houndkit.
- It shows pet names only, never client names.
- It only shows Feed posts meant for everyone.
Note
Admins open it from Clinic Settings → Clinic home → Open the wall display. Once it's allowed, anyone signed in on your clinic can also go straight to your clinic's /wall page.
