When leaving a message for whānau via the tablet, whānau sign-in, then the message pops up. Whilst we continue to work with whānau, asking them to wait to read any messages, this does not always happen. In such scenarios, the message can then be displayed on the tablet when the next person comes to sign-in or out. This is seen as a major privacy issue for the organisation. Is it possible for messages to be made visible after entering their PIN but prior to the whānau member actually signing-in in or out their tamariki?

When I search for a child using their Official first name, the result does not show their Official name. It shows their Give Name only. This results in me having to individually check each result to find who the correct child is. When the names are different, can you please put the child's Official name in brackets ( ) after their Given Name. WINZ only tell us the child's Official Name.

It'd be great to be able to archive or delete centre and child forms that have become obsolete without risking to lose access/records of the related entries. We like being able to store and look up all our child- and centre-related records on Discover, but this has now become such a challenge that we are migrating all our forms to a separate platform that's more user friendly. Could you please develop and add this feature? Ngā mihi nui Romane

The whole point (to me) of a child on casual enrolment, is that they only attend casually and have no booked hours. But when you try to enrol a child casually, in Discover, you must allocate booked hours that they may attend. This is a real pain. We need to be able to put a child into our system without booked days and hours please because they are Casual enrolments and I only want to charge them and appropriately do paperwork and claim funding when they attend.

As a suggestion to make it easier to get whanau to sign attendance verifications- perhaps provide an optional pop-up for them at their last sign out for the week. They would be able to click a pop-up button that takes them to a weekly Discover Attendance Verification for immediate action. This would save them time and get more people actually signing off the weekly attendance verification in a more timely manner

As a centre, we have a policy in place that in the event a child is more than one hour late, we can mark the child absent (if there was no communication from the parent that they will be late) However, we have noticed that after we have marked a child absent, and a parent then arrives, they do not see that we marked the child absent and can therefore override the system. Is there something we can put in place that should the parent arrive after being marked absent, they see some sort of an alert on the sign in iPad and therefore have to talk to us first as we do not always catch parents when they are in and out of the centre at the speed of lightning:)

It would be great if we could have the automated late fees function on but for a specific child make them 'exempt from late fees'. For example, if I ask a teacher to work a bit late I don't want late fees to apply for her child.

We would like to be able to run a report of fees invoiced to a child for a specified period, that has the ability to break down into individual fee type/s - eg, Optional charges only, or enrolment fees only. It would also be great if this report could calculate the total amount charged for the specified fee/s at the bottom.

A feature where an automatic email went out to parents based on their age group. For example: Each time a immunisation is due, the email could read "your child has turned 15 months, they will be due for their next immunisations, please send us an updated copy of your child's immunisation record once the immunisation has been administered." Also an automatic email when a child turns 4.6, "Your child is now four an a half, this is a great time to be thinking about enrolling for primary school.... and so on" Automatic emails that could have editable and templated text, and options of when it is sent out based on age.

To add when you say a child is asleep the first time that you have to put in the room temperature as this is a requirement for MOE. It just needs to be done when you put the child to bed not on sleep checks. Can this be added
