What’s New
🆕 Enhanced Paperwork Management
We have streamlined how booking-related forms are handled to make things faster and more efficient!
Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Merged Forms: Previously, whenever a temporary booking was added or weekly booking was edited, the system generated two separate forms — Change of Enrolment and Re-attestation. These have now been merged into a single combined form, saving time and reducing paperwork.
- Instant Print Prompt: Instead of automatically downloading the form, the system will now open the form directly in a print prompt, allowing you to print it immediately.
- Multiple Bookings on One Form: If a child has multiple bookings, you can now multi-select bookings and print them all on a single form for easier record management.
✨ Additions to the Booking Report
The Booking Report is now more powerful and informative:
- Future Absence Visibility
- Previously, the report only showed what children were booked for. In addition to it, now if a child has been marked absent for a future date, an “A” in red font will appear next to the booking time on that day — giving you an instant visual cue.
- Multiple Bookings
- Turning on the multiple bookings toggle will allow you to search for multiple weeks. This will help in tracking booking changes over time.
- If a child’s booking changes within the selected date range, the report will display each booking separately, along with its respective start date for clear visibility.
✉️ New Feature: Save Templates in Message Centre
We’ve introduced a handy new enhancement to the Message Centre — you can now create and save message templates for future use!
If you regularly send out messages such as Welcome email for new families, late charge alerts, accident reports, or any other recurring communication, you can now pre-develop and save them as templates.
When needed, simply open your saved templates, select the one you want to send, make any quick edits or add missing details — and send it off instantly.
This feature saves time, ensures consistency, and makes communication smoother than ever!
📢 “Note to Parent” Now Also Emailed to Parents
From now on, whenever a Note to Parent is added on the Kiosk app, it will also be emailed directly to the parent contacts — in addition to appearing on the kiosk as it does currently.
There’s no change to the existing functionality; this update simply ensures that important notes reach parents more effectively and instantly.
Phase 2 (coming soon): Services will have the option to opt out of the email feature and continue using notes exactly as they are being used now.
👀 Clickable Room Numbers on “Signed In Today” Tab
For Services using the Kiosk app, we have made the “Signed In Today” tab even more interactive!
The numbers displayed against each room are now hyperlinked.
- Click on a room’s number to view only the children signed in within that specific room.
- Click on the total number to see all children, just like the current view.
🕒 Real-Time Kiosk Sign-In Visibility
We have improved how attendances marked through Kiosk, appear on the Attendance Marking page!
Previously, attendance records from the kiosk only appeared after a child was signed out.
With this enhancement, as soon as a child is signed in, their sign-in time will immediately appear on the Attendance Marking page.
This update will help you easily identify children who haven’t been signed in yet — allowing you to quickly check whether they are actually away or have simply been missed during sign-in.
