The Separate Sign-In Screen:
Besides signing children in and out via their room in the Famly app, Famly also offers a separate sign-in screen to allow parents, carers, staff to sign themselves (and their children) in and out. Every sign in and out is saved in the Famly app, providing you with an overview of when the children arrive and when they leave. You can find these details under Attendance → Child attendance.
You can use an iPad or an Android tablet for your sign-in/out screen. Alternatively, you can use a web browser. It will appear as below:
Setting up the separate Sign-in Screen
Select the type of device you want to use and you'll be ready to go within minutes:
To use the separate sign-in screen, you must have the 'Access to basic child and employee info' and the 'Sign children in and out' permissions enabled.
Signing a child in on the separate Sign-in screen
Parents and staff can sign in, using the separate sign-in screen. To do this:
Set up and activate the sign-in screen
Click on the room the child or staff member is in, from the home screen
Once you're in the room view, click on the black and white photo of the child you're signing in:
A new screen will open, where the person expected to collect can be entered, along with the pick-up time.
If you'd like to sign children in without needing to enter an expected pickup time, you can switch this option off by clicking on the relevant room from your overview, then accessing the room settings by clicking the cog icon in the top right corner. From here, uncheck the 'Parents are required to enter expected pick up' box:
Next click 'Sign in [the child's name]'. The time of the child's sign-in will be registered
Change a Child's Status with the Separate Sign-In screen
You can also use the separate sign-in screen to update a child's status, for example, to note when they went to play outside. To do this:
Set up and activate the sign-in screen
Click on the room the child or staff member is in, from the home screen
Once you're in the room view, click on the photo of the child you're changing the status of:
A new screen will open, where you can change the status of the child, or sign them out. You can also edit their collection time and who is due to collect. This will then update in the app, to reflect the information entered.
