🚀 Product Update: October 02th, 2026

📚 Reports - Attendance

• Added an Absence Type field to the form;

• Added a Notes/Symptoms column to display notes provided by parents when submitting an RSVP, including symptoms for illness-related absences;

📚 Dashboard - RSVP

• Organized the RSVP section into two tabs: “Absences Reported” for reported or verified absences and “Absences to Verify” for absences awaiting confirmation;

• The “Absences to Verify” tab lists children scheduled to attend on the selected date who have not yet signed in. The date defaults to the current date;

• The list can be filtered by group, with “Verified Absent” and “Attempted Contact” actions available beside each child’s name;

• Verified Absent:

  -- Allows staff to record confirmation that a child is safe and will not be attending;

  -- An absence reason is required. Selecting “Sick” displays an additional Symptoms field for public health tracking;

  -- Once verified, the child moves from the “Absences to Verify” tab to the “Absences Reported” tab;

• Attempted Contact:

  -- Allows staff to record contact attempts that did not result in confirmation of the child’s safety and absence, such as leaving a voicemail or sending an email;

  -- The child remains in the “Absences to Verify” list, and the status displays “Attempted (1),” with the count increasing for each recorded attempt;

  -- A “Last attempt” timestamp beside the child’s name helps staff track when to follow up;

  -- A contact history icon allows staff to view all previous attempts and the details recorded;

📚 Staff

• Schedule:

  -- The “Mark as covering another room” menu now lists all rooms on the schedule, grouped by category and displayed with their names and colors. A search box is available for longer lists;

  -- Rooms with the same color can be easily distinguished by name;

  -- Improved the right-click menu layout with consistent spacing, clear section headings, and aligned controls for colors, breaks, flags, covering staff, notes, and actions;

  -- The menu opens next to the selected cell, including near the edges of the schedule grid and at zoom levels from 10% to 200%;

  -- The right-click menu remains unavailable in read-only views, including shared schedules viewed by room staff;

  -- Schedules and templates can be opened in a larger pop-up window;

• Smart Assist:

  -- Added an option to display the average attendance across all operating days in the past 60 days, regardless of weekday. Closed days and holidays remain excluded;

  -- Registered headcounts and recommended staff counts are displayed in both modes;

🛠️ Platform Optimizations & Bug Fixes:

1. Staff Schedule: Enlarged the right-click menu for shared schedules to improve readability and ease of use;

2. Client and Admin Sign-Up Pages: Fixed a vertical overflow issue to ensure the full sign-up form remains visible;

3. RSVP Report: Children who have signed in no longer appear on the report for the current date. Added “Absent RSVP” and “Transport RSVP” checkboxes to filter by either or both categories;

4. Parent Invoices: Merchant fees now appear as a separate “Merchant Fee” line on parent invoices, including PDF invoices emailed to parents;

5. Credit Card Payments: Fixed an issue where merchant fees were not included in payments when a center had enabled passing credit card fees on to parents. Parents are now charged the invoice amount plus the merchant fee, covering the fee charged to the center up to a maximum of 2.4%;

6. Incident and Health Journals: Fixed an issue where parents were not prompted to acknowledge incident and health journals when the center had report acknowledgment enabled.
