Alongside annualised invoicing, we also released a few other updates and improvements to Tapestry's Nursery Management System. These include: Allowing users on mobile and tablets to enter negative and decimal line items when creating an invoice Itemising funded hours separately on invoices to make billing more transparent for families Providing the option to hide inactive children when looking at your account balances

You now have a choice of three calculations to use when invoicing families: Actual charges: This is the current approach and the default one. The invoice will be based on the actual charges that fall within its date range Fixed monthly fee: The cost of regular schedule bookings and charges will be replaced by a set fee that you choose. Extra bookings and ad hoc charges will be charged separately. Annualised monthly fee: The cost of regular schedule bookings and charges are annualised based on the number of chargeable weeks and number of months to be invoiced. This is calculated by Tapestry. Extra bookings and ad hoc charges will be charged separately. You can use any of the three types of calculations for each child in your setting, which gives you the flexibility you need. See how to put it in action: Invoices: Setting your invoice calculation method Annualised invoicing is part of Tapestry’s multi-functional Nursery Management System, included in every subscription.

Hi TheLittleFirefly, First of all, thank you so much for your patience so far. We are very excited to confirm that Phase 1 of Tapestry's Management System is coming in Summer 2022. This 1st Phase will include a Booking system, so you can book your children in on your custom-made rooms/sessions. From this Booking system, you will then be able to generate a register for each room/session and print it out for attendance records. Digital registers will follow shortly after Phase 1. All Management System features will be completely free to all Tapestry accounts. We will be announcing the release of Phase 1 and all other phases through our usual channels: The change log Our Twitter account @Tapestry_FSF Our Facebook page Tapestry Online Learning Journal The coloured boxes in the tapestryjournal.com login page A yellow banner inside all manager and staff Tapestry accounts The subsequent Tapestry Newsletter (you can register to receive these directly in your inbox) So please make sure you follow us on SM, bookmark the change log, subscribe to the newsletter or keep an eye on the login page coloured boxes 😊 Best wishes, Olaya

Hi paulkerton, First of all, welcome to the Forum! I am afraid that it is not possible to set 'staff view only' as the default option. However, staff members can simply update this from the options box as they create the observation. As it stands right now, all observations will be automatically set to 'not in journal'. If you want the actual assessments that you might have added to these observations to count towards your monitoring screens, then that is possible. All you need to do is go to control panel > settings > summative assessments > and then tick the box at the top that reads 'Include assessments from unapproved observations'. Do make sure to save the changes! From then on, assessments from unapproved observations will feed through to the monitoring screens, and you will still be making sure that relatives do not see these observations until you are ready to publish them. Would this work for you? Best wishes, Olaya

The EYFS 2021 flags allow you to select areas from the new Development Matters in purple (1), and aspects from the Birth to 5 Matters guidance documents in gold (2). Anyone who takes out a new Tapestry subscription on or after the 27.09.21 will find that the Birth to Five Matters guidance is turned off by default when they go to enable the EYFS 2021 flag set, and can choose to enable it there and then. However, those of you who purchased your Tapestry account before 27.09.21 will have both the new Development Matters and Birth to 5 Matters guidance turned on. We aware that many of you are only using the new Development Matters curriculum guidance and would prefer not to see the Birth to 5 Matters aspect flags or reference material. It is also possible that you have changed your mind regarding the Birth to 5 Matters guidance, and would like to enable it or disable it. This tutorial will show you how to enable and disable the Birth to 5 Matters guidance, which will determine whether the Birth to Five Matters flags and reference materials appear when you create posts. For this, navigate to your profile's drop down menu (1) > Control Panel (2) > Settings (3) > Flags (4). Once here, select EYFS 2021 (5). Click or tap on 'Configure' by the EYFS 2021 flag set. This will trigger a pop up box, which will allow you to tick or untick the 'Include Birth to 5 Matters aspects' option, depending on whether you want this on or off. Do remember to save if you make any changes. And that is all! You can change this option at any time. Go back to Main Tutorials Page
