Task Checklist for Checking your data.

Follow a clear checklist to ensure all required setup tasks are complete.

Your Onboarding Specialist will provide you a checklist and the information that will require manual input as it does not migrate.


Centre Checks:

  • Complete Milestone 1


Staff/Teacher & Educator Profiles


Entering Staff Profiles see here

Setting up Pay Parity see here

Adding User Permissions see here


Go to Reports > Staff > Staff Details

Employed From = Go Live Date

Employed To = End of the Week

Most software platforms do not store as much staff information as Discover.

To complete staff records, you will need to:

  • Go to each staff record
  • Select the staff member’s name
  • Review their profile and add any missing information you’d like recorded in Discover

Please note:

  • Addresses will need to be re-saved, as they sync with Google Maps
  • If you would like staff/teachers to have their own PIN for tablet use, select “Suggest PIN” within their profile






Children, Parent / Guardian / Emergency Contact Profiles


Go to Reports > Children > Child Details


Data Type

Select Weekly

Starts Date: The Monday of Go Live Week


Report Fields 

# = number of record in report 

Name = Child's Name

Age = Age of Child

Siblings = if these do not appear that means the siblings are not linked together by the same primary caregiver records. See Siblings

Hours Booked = Days and Times the Child has been booked into the Service For

Weekly ECE Hours Total = How many hours of ECE applies to the child's booking 

Primary Caregiver Name 1 = Parent Guardian 1 / Billpayer

Primary Caregiver Name 2 = Parent Guardian 2

Compare this to your current system. Any changes required, make them as you go.

Our more complex Fee engines in Discover, may not work out the exact same way as it works in your current system.

Depending on your Current System, discounts don't always migrate. So it is essential that you check this prior to going live.

Your Onboarding Specialist will advise how they work.






When migrating from another Software Provider you will need to enter the following data as it does not migrate:


  • Update Staff Profiles
  • Resave Staff Address to sync with the Google Maps
  • Child Permissions eg. Excursions, Photo's Etc
  • Resave Guardian Address to sync with Google Maps
  • Billing Reference Numbers
  • Custom Information
  • Check Siblings are connected
