  7. PRF Cloud Folder Flow – Provides access to securely stored waivers.

  8. Settings Flow – Allows customization and system adjustments.

Settings Flow

PRF app Settings are arranged into an intuitive flow based on the feedback of thousands of studios across the globe. While PRF is feature-rich, you'd never know it by looking under the hood. Naturally, we think like artists, so non-techy thinking is how we organize PRF Settings.

Piercer Notes Pane Flow

The Piercer Notes Pane in PRF app is where the piercer checks client inputs for accuracy and health information, lists jewelry used in the piercing process, adds personal notes about the session, and attaches images of pertinent documents.

Save For Later Flow

In the making of a PRF waiver, both client and piercer add data. Between client and piercer inputs, the waiver can be paused by tapping SAVE FOR LATER. This feature sets the unfinished waiver aside to be completed later, and resets the app for the next client.

New Client Flow

Piercing clients make their own waivers with PRF app without help from studio staff. The client steps up to the iPad, photographs her ID, and is led by the app through a smooth-flowing info-gathering interface.

Returning Client Flow

For returning clients, PRF fast-tracks each subsequent waiver submission to a sub-ten-second experience with a new date. Too easy.

The PRF-Made Waiver: Example and Explanation

The PDF waiver assembled by PRF app is a clean, organized legal document presenting text and full-color images of IDs, Birth Certificates, client designs, and other attached supporting documents. It contains data gathered from the piercing client, piercer, and studio, all searchable in your cloud—not ours.

PRF Cloud Folder Flow

PRF app-generated waivers are PDFs that are easily stored, searchable, and downloadable. The PRF Cloud Folder Flow lives on your cloud and is how you share waiver information with health departments and legal teams.

Initial Setup Flow

Initial setup of PRF app is quick and easy, especially if you are prepared with some basic information about your studio, cloud, and health codes.

Main Menu Flow

The PRF Main Menu gives access to the primary setup and maintenance of the app, including settings, purchases, knowledge base, support, an example PRF waiver, release notes, and our privacy policy.
