Centre Settings > Centre Details Screen -
As you can see, in Discover you can customise the software for how you want to run your service.
Below is a run down of all the Settings, and how to get your service set up for success.
Once you are able to log into your service, go to Centre Set Up > Centre Details & Check the Centre Information that has been entered by your Onboarding Specialist.
If you hover over the (i) icons, the system will give you extra information.
In this guide we will flag any of the settings that are optional, based on how you are operating your service.
Centre Details >
Please check to make sure this is all correct. This would have been entered by your Onboarding Specialist.

Waitlist Settings (OPTIONAL)
If using digital Enquiries & Waitlists you can edit how often Emails re sent by changing the Waitlist Confirmation Weeks field.
When the parent clicks to confirm they want to stay, Discover adds the most recent date when the reminder was sent. It will show in the Waitlist Confirmation Date field.
If the parent selects to be removed, they will be removed immediately and the center will be notified via email. The child will be returned to an Enquiry status with a sub-status of Not Interested, so they will not appear in searches but will still be recorded in your enquiry statistics.

You can select what parts of the Tablet you will be using here – we will also visit this in Milestone 3 – Family Experience
