Overview
Store → Applications stores applicant name, contact fields, budget, notes, ApplicationStatus (new through approved, etc.), and ApplicationType (puppy, litter, or none). Use that screen as the queue; move outcomes into Customers and Orders when someone progresses.
Application workflow
- Open new or reviewing applications from the list.
- Record strengths, gaps, and follow-ups in notes.
- Update status as decisions are made.
- Create or link a customer record for serious prospects.
- Keep application notes attached so placement conversations stay grounded.
Practical note
Applications organize intake; customers and orders track the relationship afterward.
