Release Date: March 5, 2026
Version 2.5.0 introduces DogBase Type Builder 2.0, a complete redesign of the system used to create custom Training and Action types.
This update focuses on making the builder faster, clearer, and more flexible, allowing teams to design structured logging systems that better match their real-world training workflows.
With a modern interface, improved configuration tools, and better visual organization, teams can now create and manage custom types with far greater ease.
✨ What’s New in v2.5.0
🧩 DogBase Type Builder 2.0
The Custom Type Builder has been fully redesigned from the ground up.
The new experience makes it significantly easier to create, edit, and organize custom Training and Action types used for logging sessions, deployments, and operational events.
Key improvements include:
- A modernized interface
- Improved form configuration tools
- More flexibility when structuring training logs
- Better visual organization of inputs and widgets
Teams can now build structured logging systems that closely match how they actually train and operate.
🎨 Custom Icons & Colors for Types
Training and Action types can now include custom icons and colors.
This makes it easier to quickly identify different log types across the DogBase interface.
Benefits include:
- Faster visual recognition of log types
- Improved organization for teams with many training categories
- Cleaner navigation across logs and records
📝 Input Descriptions
You can now add descriptions to widgets and inputs inside custom types.
This allows teams to provide guidance on what data should be entered in each field.
Why this matters:
Teams often have multiple handlers logging data. Descriptions help ensure everyone logs information consistently and correctly, improving overall data quality.
🖱️ Drag-and-Drop Widget Reordering
Custom type layouts can now be reordered using drag-and-drop.
This makes it much easier to adjust the structure of training or action forms without recreating fields.
Teams can now:
- Quickly reorganize form layouts
- Adjust logging workflows as training programs evolve
- Keep forms aligned with real-world training processes
🎥 Widget Video Previews & Explanations
Each widget now includes:
- Short video previews
- Descriptions explaining how the widget works
This makes it easier to understand which widget should be used when building custom training or action types.
New users can quickly learn the system while experienced teams can build types faster.
⚖️ Enhanced Weight Slider Precision
The Weight Slider widget now supports extremely precise measurements.
Users can log weights as small as:
0.001 grams or ounces
This level of precision is particularly useful for:
- Scent detection training
- Odor quantity tracking
- Advanced detection programs
It allows teams to record detailed data points required for professional working dog training environments.
🐾 Summary
Version 2.5.0 is a major step forward for the DogBase logging system.
With the introduction of Type Builder 2.0, teams now have significantly more control over how training and operational data is structured and captured.
This update delivers:
- A redesigned and more intuitive Type Builder
- Improved customization for training and action logs
- Better documentation clarity across teams
- Greater flexibility when adapting forms to real-world workflows
DogBase continues to evolve based on feedback from professional working dog teams to ensure the platform remains the most flexible and powerful training log system available.
