Features & Enhancements

These features are available now!

Reporting Changes - Round 2

• A new permission has been added to enable Administrators to save Report Templates. 
  This feature gives users the ability to set specific parameters for reports. These preset templates can be recalled under a new menu item in Reports called “Custom Reports.” 
  Users can save any number of templates for each report. 
  Note that any centre-specific parameters (i.e., Rooms or Custom Field 1) will not be saved. 
  To recall a report, click on the saved report name under “Custom Reports.” Users can then run the report as usual by selecting the specific date range required and clicking the “Get Report” button.
  Reports with this functionality currently enabled: 

  • Child Contacts

  • Weekly Forecast

  • Child Details

  • Weekly Places

  • Child Waitlist

  • Weekly Staff Roster Details
    

    
    

    

    

• The Frequent Absence report has had a colour upgrade to allow users to quickly determine where a child might be on track to lose funding or if a child has lost funding due to frequent absences. 
  Additionally, three new columns have been added to quickly see which frequent absence rules have been broken per child, including the number of months the child has broken those rules. 

Other Enhancements

• We’ve adjusted the logic to ensure that customers using the “Send Automated Roster Emails” option can control what URLs show in the email to staff. The ability to confirm the details will remain, but a new checkbox provides the ability to add or remove the URL that allows staff members to adjust the roster. 
• We have made further improvements to reduce latency for updating attendance, running invoicing and more. 
• We have adjusted permissions for the Holiday Entitlement button that sits on the Calendar tab of a child. Users with Write Access permissions to enrolments will be able to use the Holiday Entitlement button to override holidays. However, users with No Access or View Access to enrolments will not be able to see this button. This change is to ensure that only users who have access to modify enrolments are able to control holiday entitlements. 
• In the Benefactor Schedule screen, we’ve removed the ability to edit Rate or Hour. These should still update when the Amount changes. This change is intended to reduce confusion surrounding what fields should be updated ad hoc when modifying a benefactor’s weekly payment. 

Discover Tablet App

Version 5.8.09 

• When signing out a child from a Playcentre, the options for staying on site will be automatically ticked, as per previous behaviour. 
• When adding an extra day for a specific child in a Home-Based service, educators will only have access to the children that are associated with them. 
• Playcentre sign-in and out has been fixed and is functioning as expected.
