Features & Enhancements

These features will be available on Thursday, 12 October. 

Payments

• Payments will now be sent every morning at 5 am. Apologies for any confusion surrounding payment processing. We were originally informed by Debit Success that their billing starts at 11 am. Thus, we set the schedule to send through payments at 9 am. Debit Success recently informed us that they have a cutoff time of 9 am for payments to be sent through, hence all payments we sent them were being processed the following day. This has been resolved, and payments will now be sent at 5 am to ensure they are processed correctly.  
  
  
• We have added a Scheduled Payments overview for customers using Xplor Pay by Debit Success. This will give administrators more visibility and control over the upcoming payments for the current week.  In addition to making it easier to cancel single or multiple payments from being sent, the table will display the following for each bill payer:
  • Amount owing, which updates automatically if there are different adjustments to the account.
  • Amount billed, which will be the amount sent through to be processed.
  • Schedule status and payment status.
  • Historical data, so administrators will be able to quickly see which payments from the previous week failed on one page without having to run the Direct Debits Report.

Child Profiles

• The Leaving Reason on the child profile is now required if the Leaving Date is populated. This helps capture that critical piece of information centres can use to improve their services. 

Bug Fixes

• Attendance verification emails will no longer send reminders if the attendance has been verified.

• Inactive child contacts will no longer have access to child data.

• The Staff Hours Details report will no longer print with an extra page.

• The Debit Success email notification copy has been updated to have clearer grammar.

• The pay rate will be hidden for Group/Chain users who are also Centre Administrators missing full HR Access.

Mobile Release - v5.8.0

There have been multiple updates to the tablet over the last couple of weeks that should have reduced the trouble users are experiencing on Android. The focus has been: 

• Tablet performance on Android 10

• Speed issues across the board

• Child data syncing correctly

• Home app QR Code not working correctly

• Random crash errors

• Spot-check reports (Nappies/Sleep, etc.) not loading correctly
