Can you please add "1x extra child" field in children attendance forms. Current option for "3x extra child" is overkill and will create too much paper waste when we print all the forms out. bonnie@nurturedathome.co.nz

Can a total hours column be added to the Educator Children tab? The list of children and their booked hours is great but would be helpful if there was a total on this page - for each child and possibly overall for the Educator

Hi - this was raised originally under ticket 45571 last year. We need Discover to show the changes in start/leave dates like in the old APT screenshot attached (Educator or child first joined 2017, left 2019, but returned in 2020). Discover shows this just as a start date of 2020. Or if a child or Educator moves networks/"centre", Discover only shows the start date for that centre, not their actual relationship with the service. Your initial feedback was that this is tracked in the audit log but we need to be able to see this in a report of all children, or all Educators, so we can for example personalise communication for length of time with us.

Can we please have the ability to add the extra booking function to the educators/staff members own children. This is so we can show when there own children are away from the home as they attend other early childhood services. Then we can easily see what spaces are available in the home for adding in enrolled children. Thanks Kiddz Homebased Childcare (Tracy Glintmeyer)

It would be great if the Educator address was on the main Staff & Educator List

Please find a way to distinguish Educator's own children when viewing them in lists in Discover, and when exporting reports to Excel. Could it be a different contract type, like OSCAR is (then it is easy to sort in a spreadsheet)? It still needs to show the child's age in the child tab under each Educator (for checking ratios), but needs to be unfunded.

As per the upcoming new rule for top-ups, this can be added onto services via Charge Adjustments. And when these are pulled in the Payments Report, they are displayed under the Optional Fees column. Unfortunately, when the report is run using Show Total Row Only, it summarizes the total amount of all the Optional Fees used, and removes any indicator that there are actually Top-ups included. It would be great if we can somehow add an indicator (maybe a tick box) in the Charge Adjustments that appears when Include on Educator Payroll is enabled, an option to say if this was a Top-up. And if this is ticked, adds a new Total Row for the Payments Report just for the charge adjustments that were indicated as Top-ups.

Can we please have the function added to be able to select multiple centres (but not necessarily all) in the child details report - just like has been added to the staff details one. So in the drop down for selecting centres it would have tick boxes for choosing the ones you want.

We are currently going through an ERO review process and was asked to show the checks that the Educators record while the child is sleeping. Each month I go into Discover and see that the Educators record sleep. I can see the in bed, asleep and wake data. What I also need to see is the 10 min checks. I have seen the educators recording this information while I visit their homes on the Discover app. What I need from Discover is a way for our Visiting Teachers and outside agencies to see the report so that we can confidently say that the children are being checked while sleeping. Thank you.

We need a quick way of showing whether a service is meeting the percentage qualified requirements for home based Educators, which shows if an Educator has been "active" or "inactive". The 14 Dec MoE bulletin changed the required reporting to monthly, with an Educator needing to be "active" (providing care) for at least four days within each calendar month - it needs to be based on actual attendance not booked hours.
