Hi there,

With this release, we have enhanced the dashboard experience and introduced a new tool that gives you visibility into child movement you have never had in one place before.

Revamped Dashboard - Updated

The new dashboard is cleaner, faster, and built around how your team actually works. The redesigned Rooms Overview gives you a live picture of each room at a glance, showing how many children are checked in, which staff are present, and the current status of each space. Everything your team needs to start the day is now available without leaving the dashboard.

  • Staff check-in and check-out
    Perform staff check-in and check-out directly from the dashboard. No navigation required.
  • Quick Add button
    Add a room, child, tag, or staff member from a single access point on the dashboard.
  • Rooms Overview widget
    See all rooms with checked-in counts, status indicators, and staff presence in one view.
  • Customisable layout
    Drag and drop widgets to reorder your dashboard, and add or remove them from a dedicated customisation screen.

Widgets have been redesigned using a masonry grid layout, making better use of screen space and supporting a wider range of information types in a more flexible, visual arrangement. You can also control exactly what is displayed in each room card through the new Room Overview Settings, giving your team only the information that is relevant to them.

Tags - New

Tags is a new feature that allows your team to track where children are at any point during the day, independently of attendance. When a child moves to the playground, the bus bay, the kitchen, or any other location in your centre, staff can tag them in and out of that space. That movement is recorded on a full timeline alongside room changes and check-in data, giving you a complete picture of each child's day.

  • Tag In and Tag Out
    Track child and staff movement across locations. Movement is recorded separately from attendance.
  • Movement timeline
    A full timeline of tag movements, room changes, and attendance in one place per child.
  • Child Movement Report
    A new report combining attendance, tags, and room movements for a comprehensive daily record.
  • Quick timeline summary
    Tap "Summary" under any child avatar in Room Details to see their check-in, check-out, tag activity, and key moments in a quick pop-up.

Tags also comes with flexible settings. You can choose to auto check-in a child when they are tagged, or auto tag-out on check-out. These are optional and can be configured from the Operations Attendance Settings page.

Warmly,
Parent Team
