Using the Online Register on the iOS app

[EmilyTapestrySupport]

In this tutorial we will look at how you can use the Online Register for children on the iOS Tapestry app. If you want to learn how to take a staff register, please take a look at this tutorial.

To open the Online Register, tap on the 'Register' button at the bottom of the screen.

 

 

 

You should see a list of your children, along with their expected times for the day. You can mark a child as 'in' or 'out' using the 'In' icon on the left-hand side (1) and the 'Out' icon on the right-hand side (2). The times they have been marked in or out will then show up under the 'Registrations' column (3).

If children are expected in and have not been marked as 'In', they will show up as late (4).

Children who are marked as 'In' are shaded green (5) and children who are marked as 'Out' are shaded orange (6).

 

 

At the top of page you will see options to register 'Children' or 'Staff' (1). We are staying on the 'Children' tab but to learn more about the staff register, take a look at this tutorial.

You can change the day you are viewing (2), filter your list by a specific room (3), and change the sorting order of the list of children (4). There is also a box you can tick to show children who do not have bookings that day (5).

If you are viewing a past register you should see a message stating this (6).

 

 

If you click on a child's name (1), this will bring up an expanded view for that child. Here you will be able to mark the child as in or out (2), as well as edit the times they are registered as being marked in or out (3).

Here you can also see when they are expected to be in for the day you are viewing (4) and you can add an absence for them (5). 

Lastly, you can see their bookings for the day you are viewing (6) and you can add register notes for them (7). 

 

 

 

If you select to add an absence for a child, a menu will pop up that will allow you to select the reason for their absence. The options are: 'Illness', 'Holiday' or 'Other Absence' (1). You can also add the dates and times they are expected to be absent (2), and any notes (3). Once you are done, click the 'Save Absence' button (4).

 

 

 

In the screenshot below, I have returned to the main register screen after adding a register note and an "Illness" absence for the child, Alan Wilkinson. The register note is indicated by the document icon in the corner of the child's portrait (1), and the absence appears under their expected times (2).

 

 

 

And that's how you use the online register on the iOS app.
