The Piercer Notes Pane

The Piercer Notes Pane is the interface for finalizing client waivers before uploading them to the cloud. It automatically appears when a client finishes her waiver (in the New Client Flow, Returning Client Flow, and Saved for Later Flow), signaling that the client should give the iPad to the piercer or studio staff.

 

Accessing the Piercer Notes Pane

The Piercer Notes Pane is only accessible when the client finishes a section of a new waiver, searches and opens a Returning Client waiver, or recalls a Save For Later waiver. Either the Master Passcode or the Piercer Passcode is required. Upon access, the "Client Health Considerations" screen is displayed. This screen summarizes the client's health information, automatically compiled from their waiver, ensuring that critical health details are readily available for review.

 

Piercer Input: Required and Recommended Data

While PRF app requires only the piercer's signature for waiver upload, including additional data is strongly recommended for enhanced legal protection. Compliance with local health and state laws may require the piercer to enter information beyond their signature.

 

Piercer Notes categories

The Piercer Notes Pane collects data in these categories:

  • Jewelry: Records the specific jewelry used in the piercing procedure.
  • Financials: Tracks payment information related to the service.
  • Supporting Documents: Allows for the attachment of pertinent documentation.
  • Piercer Notes: Provides a space for piercers to record session notes or observations.

 

Jewelry

Jewelry used: The piercer chooses jewelry they will/did use on the client by gauge, material, size, type, gem/ball size, gem setting, gem color, and manufacturer. For example, 16g, titanium, 1/4", barbell, 4mm, bezel, red, Acme Piercings. The jewelry chosen is listed for the piercer and will be added to the final PDF waiver.

 

Financials

Here, the piercer can add financial data about the session, including options for the amount due, deposit, amount paid, total tax, and payment method.

PRF can export a report of all financial data in .csv format, accessed in Settings>Database>Generate financial report

 

Supporting Documents

Options:
  • Legal guardian ID and Signature
  • Birth Certificate
  • Client Design/Pattern
  • Add second ID
  • Second Gov't ID photo
  • Custom document
  • Add image from iPad Image Libraries

 

Piercer Notes

Text input field for any notes the piercing wishes to be reflected on the final waiver.

 

Finishing the waiver

Following data entry, the piercer can perform one or more of the following actions:

  • Sign the waiver: Upon signing, the release form is ready. Tap UPLOAD to send it to the studio cloud.
  • Tap Options: Accesses further options listed below.
  • Tap Save for Later: Saves the waiver as a draft for later completion.

 

Options Button

Preview this waiver: The piercer will see an image of the final PDF before it is saved to the cloud. This allows the piercer to ensure the client entered accurate facts into the release form, confirm that the ID photo is clear, and see in RED TEXT all health questions that the client answered yes to. NOTE: Piercer Notes will not appear in the preview. They aren't attached to the waiver until it is uploaded to the cloud.

Make changes to the waiver: If the piercer discovers unsatisfactory client inputs (selfies instead of ID photos do not fly in court), this feature allows changes to be made before upload.

Add supporting documents: While this option is also offered toward the end of the Piercer Notes Pane, we body modification artists sometimes find it best to snatch up and photograph documents immediately and then fill out the notes. This allows the client to put them away and relax while we do our thing.

Cancel and start a new waiver: Sometimes, it's simply necessary.
