| New Features |
1. Child reports - Sign in Sheets
When printing sign in sheets, children who have any contacts with forbidden/conditional access set will be printed with a grey background.
2. Child reports - Sign in Sheets
Sign in sheets can now be printed in "Booked from" time order.
3. Notice Board
The notice board will now highlight the fact that a child is entitled to 20 hours ECE funding when they are turning 3.
4. Employees - Modify/Add
Additional fields are now available to record Medical details for staff members and emergency contact details.
5. Reports - Staff Reports - Staff Details
This report has been amended to include the new fields in point 4 above. In addition, users can now specify a date range for this report. So if you would like to see staff names who are leaving next month, you would set the From date to 01/03/2010 and the to date to 31/03/2010.
6. Reports - Child Reports - Autopayments/Winz
This report has been amended to include Ezypay details.
7. Reports - Finance Reports - Funding - Funding Hours
On the Funding Hours report, cells are no longer highlighted in yellow if there is possibly missing information. Cells are however highlighted in red for the following reasons:-
1. There are no child hours (possibly because there is no sign in sheet created for that day).
2. The service is not licensed for over 2 children but there are some over 2 children trying to claim funding (possibly a child's birthday is wrong).
3. There are no staff hours (possibly because no staff time sheet has been created).
4. There are no registered staff hours (possibly because a registered teacher has not been put on the time sheet, or a teacher's registration has expired).
8. Reports - Finance Reports - Funding
On the funding selection screen, users can now select the name of the centre required. This will be helpful for those centres who have multiple licenses and need to print RS7's etc for each license. You will not have to switch centre for these reports now.
9. Notes - File Upload
The maximum file size for files that are uploaded to the Notes/Parent Portal has been increased to 1mb per file.
10. Parent Portal
The Parent Portal has been enhanced to make it easier for parents to comment and provide feedback. Each item posted to the Parent Portal now includes a link called "Send Feedback". If the parents click on this link, an email will be generated which is automatically populated with the centre email address, and a subject containing the child's name and the subject of the document.
11. Parent Portal
Images that are uploaded to the notes/parent portal are now automatically re-sized so that they will display correctly on the screen.
12. Parent Portal/Notes
On the notes view screen, a new column has been added to indicate if the note has been made visible to the Parent Portal.
13. Children - Contacts
A new relationship of "Cousin" is now available.
14. Reports - Child Reports - Sign in Sheets
If your centre has been set up as "Sessional" in the license record, these times are now used when validating the times on sign in sheets. For example a child cannot start during the morning session and then leave after that session's finishing time.
15. Switch Centre
When switching centres, you may now select either the centre name or the centre short name.
16. Billing - Accounts Processing - Uncommitted Items - View
There is now a print button available on this screen.
1. Employees - Add/Modify
A new check box has been added on the staff update screen "Include in central pool". The purpose of this is to make certain staff members (relievers etc) available for selection by all centres in the group when they are doing their staff time sheets. For example you may have a pool of relievers that all of your centres use. To make these relievers available for all centres, simply tick the "Include in central pool" check box. Previously the staff member had to be added to each centre that they worked at.
