1. Children - Add/Modify
The child update screen has been amended to include additional details for the children's names. This is to comply with requirements for the Ministry of Education Early Learning Information (ELI) Project and the future allocation of student identification numbers for children.
The names currently entered into the Infocare system will be contained in the "Preferred Names" section. If these are the correct and official names for the child, then it is sufficient to enter only these fields.
If the child has an "Official Name" that is different to the preferred name, then you should enter the official name as per the Child's identification document in the fields provided.
Select the appropriate type of identification documentation that you have sighted from the drop down box.
The first letter of each name is no longer capitalised. This has been applied throughout the system.
The Ministry of Education have asked that you complete this validation by the 31st March 2013
2. Reports - Child Reports -Child Details Report - Options
Users are now able to select "Official First Name", "official Middle Name", "official Last Name", "ID Document", "Attended Hours" and "Attended Hours Total" as options from the list when designing a customised report.

For transactions where parents have not used the child's reference, you are able to enter the reference for the child, and if this is a regular payment, the system will remember your correction for next time.
