Features & Enhancements
These features will be available on 14 March 2024.
New - Group Calendar
For centres that are part of a Group, we have added a Group Calendar, which sits under the new “Group” menu. This menu will only show for users who have access to the Group. Under Group Calendar, users can add holidays or closures that will flow through to all centres in that Group. Regional anniversaries, public holidays and any Group-specific events or closures must be set via the Group Calendar.
Centres inherit all settings for these holidays/closures and will be reported to the Ministry as expected. The settings cannot be modified at a Centre level, and any changes need to be made via the Group Calendar by an administrator with Group-level access permissions. Centre holidays that are the same as Group holidays will override the settings on the Group Calendar. Funding calculations are only affected in so much that if a Group holiday has the centre as Closed, and a centre hasn’t added a Centre Holiday to override this setting, the funding calculations look at that Group holiday closure.
Please note: Entries made in the Group Calendar will not be visible in the Centre Calendars at this time. Our upcoming release (V1.24.6) will allow this visibility.
Funding Report Enhancements – Discretionary Hours
There is a new report under Finance > Ministry that allows administrators to see the breakdown of discretionary hours that are rostered and/or allocated by Discover at a day level per staff member. This pivot table can also be run across a group of centres and includes the required staff hours and registered staff hours.
Feature Improvement – WINZ Auto Apply
The user interface for adhoc adjustments to the WINZ schedule for the existing week has been built and can be found under Payments > Child Benefactor. This page will give a rolling seven-day view of upcoming WINZ payments to be applied to Bill Payer’s accounts. Administrators can make adjustments to the amount or add comments to these existing scheduled WINZ payments. These changes will be applied once the payment takes effect on the upcoming date. Administrators will still need to modify the existing Child Benefactor payment from the Child profile if there are significant changes to the weekly WINZ amount.
