Understanding Staff Statuses in Famly
Statuses in Famly help you and your colleagues see at a glance what staff members are doing throughout the day. Just like children, staff can have a status assigned, which is represented by an icon over their profile picture.
For example:
Andra is off sick, shown by the thermometer icon and her status as Sick
Amira is out on a trip, indicated by the tree icon and her status as On a trip
Hazel is outside in the garden, represented by the leaf icon and her status as Outside
Creating Custom Statuses
You can create custom statuses for your setting to track specific activities or locations.
To add a custom status:
Open the Settings menu
Select Rooms, then Custom Statuses from the drop-down menu
On the new screen, you’ll see your current statuses and the option to create a new one
Choose an icon and colour for your new status, and give it a name
Decide whether the status should appear in the Activity feed (mainly for child statuses)
Click Save new status
💡 You can create up to 20 custom statuses
Changing a Staff Member’s Status
To update a staff member’s status:
Go to the Room Overview
Click on the staff member’s profile picture
