Ministry

• The funding rates for January 2024 and March 2024 have been added. 
• ELI processing is now more stable and controlled, reducing potential errors or wait times when submitting data to ELI. Some services 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

• Slight changes were made to the field selection on the Child Weekly Attendance report - Show Comparison (Booked Hours) now shows the booked hours against the attended hours for the selected child. 

Home App

The Home App navigation and content has been reorganised so that highly used features are brought into the main navigation for ease of use. 

Additionally, messages and notifications have been consolidated into one place, so users can find all messages and notifications in a central location. 

Parents can also now easily make payments using ‘Pay Now’ when they click on ‘Finance’ in the main navigation. 

Main Screen

The Xplor logo was updated in the splash screen.

Navigation Menu (Bottom)

Previously, the bottom navigation bar contained Learning, Health, Sign in/Out, Bookings, and Accounts. 

Now, it contains Care, Inbox, Bookings, Finance, and Account.

Care

The Care tab contains all the features of the previous Learning tab, plus a summary health section. Clicking on each item in the health section takes the user to the previous health dashboard.

Inbox

The Inbox tab contains three sub-tabs called Messages, Admin Posts, and Notifications. They were previously located in the Accounts tab.

Finance

The Finance tab is essentially the previous Account dashboard located in the Accounts tab. However, we have added a new screen to show the account summaries of all the centres your children attend.

Minimum Supported Versions - Playground & Home Apps

We’ve made changes to the minimum supported versions of our Playground & Home Apps for both iOS and Android users. 

Following the changes, customers using older than minimum supported version operating systems to access these apps:

• will still be able to use the apps;
• will not receive new app updates until they update to the minimum supported OS version.

Newer OS versions come with significant improvements in terms of features, performance, and security. 

By increasing the minimum supported OS versions, we can provide you with the most optimised, secure and efficient app experiences, while taking advantage of the latest latest technology to continue building great features.
