Release Notes: v1.23.15

We have some exciting updates to share with our services. You can add additional subscribers to our emailed release notes here.

These features will be available to customers from 20th July 2023.

Discover

Ministry

• The funding rates for January 2024 and March 2024 have been added. 
• We’ve done some work on ensuring the ELI processing is more stable and controlled, reducing potential errors or wait times when submitting data to ELI. Some customers may have had trouble submitting their census - this was on the ELI side and the Ministry should have been in contact with you to provide an extended submission period while they work on the fix. 

Reports

• We have made a slight change to the field selection on the Child Weekly Attendance report - Show Comparison (Booked Hours) will show the booked hours against the attended hours for the selected child. 

Bug Fixes

• The first fix for centre switching has been released. There was an issue with linking siblings which caused the centre to jump to a different centre in the same group. This has been resolved, and we’re continuing to work on other affected areas. 
• The date parameters on the Child Details report will no longer save when saving other Report Fields. 
• Bulk attestation forms have been improved, so they’re no longer cutting off.  
• The home-based Pay by Direct Credit BNZ export has been fixed again to truncate the centre's name. 
• The Staff Leave report will now correctly display the staff members’ names. 
• The Online Enrolment Widget has been adjusted to ensure that enrolment enquiries cannot be created if the child's age exceeds the age configured in Centre Settings and Room Setup. 
• Allergies, Special Diets and Childhood Diseases will correctly prefill on the printed enrolment form. 
• The reply-to address when sending emails from the Marketing tab under a child will now send from the centre email address rather than a no-reply address - please ensure that the Marketing Name field is also filled out for this to work. 
• When viewing the terms and conditions for Xplor Pay through the Home app, they will now be responsive and allow the user to scroll and accept rather than being cut off. 

Playground and Home Apps
