Feature Requests

In the child's calendar under "Type" we can choose Holiday, Absent,or Booked. I would like to be able to add "School Visit" so that I can see at a glance rather than having to drill into the day when looking at a child's calendar?

In other sms systems, when children sign in or sign in sheets are printed, they will see a note saying Happy Birthday to the child. Could we get that on our tablets so staff get the reminders also please

At Discover we have received a request to add a new Payment Method Type: Debt Collection. Please add this as a Payment Method as sadly there are unpaid fees occasionally that are lodged with debt collection agencies, which we receive money from monthly.

Please add a clear flag on the child's main tab next to their name, CO name and ED name to show they are receiving a WINZ subsidy. This could be a simple "W" in a different color and driven by the Work and Income (WINZ) or Study Link section against the child. If this section shows a current WINZ subsidy, flag the child as WINZ at the top of the child details screen. Providers can then see as soon as they locate a child it they are receiving WINZ.

In the notes section, under staff and educators, please change the way it is displayed to default to the most current note the same way this works for notes against the child. Currently it shows old notes first and you need to resort twice to get the latest note and when you leave the tab, it defaults back to displaying old notes.

I have a mother with 3 enrolled children all being cared for by different family members at times. It would be best if every child is able to be enrolled as an individual so that the bills can be isolated as Grandparents want to make occasional payments for their grandchild not all 3 children. It would enable the account to be individualised rather than all lumped together by Discover which in turn helps the centre with other payments/arrears received specific to one child and individual subsidies. I would like a way to separate each enrolled child despite main contact being the same person (mother in this case). This would make sense for temporary changes in custody arrangements too.

Would like to send out statements in bulk

We already use playground to record all health events and now we would like to have a facility that we could use to put up a short note about a child's day at preschool. This is to save us doubling up and having to use notebooks to let parents know about how their babies day has been and to note any additional info we need to pass on. Parents could also put notes into it to advise us about babies nights and health at home.

Please send a notification email for all new enrolments. At the moment if multiple siblings are enrolled at the same time, we only receive one email for the first child enrolled and none for the other child(ren).

We have received a request for the below: Update the bulk communications feature to include an option to send account statements to a selection of bill payers. At present an option to send account statements is not include in bulk communications feature. Other statement email options are limited to sending to individual bill payers or all bill payers (not a selection). Please add your thoughts on this thread.
