New Reports Tab

The ‘Report’ feature is now available from the online NurseryBook website. At the moment ’Two Year Progress Check’ reports can be created and viewed, other reporting templates will be added in due course.
The ‘Reports’ tab:

• Allows easy access to both completed and new reports
• Creating a report is straight forward
• Provides staff with a PDF of the report to download (template can be seen below)
• Sends an email to parents allowing them to add a comment and view the PDF
• Can view all reports for a single child on their child profile

As well as giving an update on what new features have been implemented, below is a quick tutorial that will help you get started:

How to create a report

Adding a new report can be done in one of two ways, either by going on the ‘Reports’ tab or going to an individual child and clicking “New Report”.

This will take you to the new reports page which displays a list of report templates on the left hand side and a list of children on the right hand side – if you accessed this page via a child’s profile then that child will be selected by default.

 
There is an option to view only key children assigned to you.
You can select multiple children at the same time – this will then create a report for each child selected. These new reports will then appear in the Reports tab.

Editing a report

To edit a report you simply click on it from the reports menu and it provides you with a form based webpage that you can edit and save

You can extend the text boxes to be as big as you wish by clicking and dragging the bottom right of the text box (looks like two diagonal lines)

Completing a report

Each report can either be marked as incomplete (‘Save for Later’) or complete (‘Save and Mark as Complete’), this allows users to distinguish between reports they are working on and it means completed reports will be archived by month and year.
Not complete:

Completed:
Marking it as completed allows you to complete additional tasks as seen below:

-Edit the report removing its completed tag
-Send the report to parents including the PDF and a brief description of the report
-View the report in a PDF version
-Delete

Searching for Reports

The search function works for report type, child name and date, as well as typing in “key children” gives you a list of all the reports linked to your key children.

Sending Reports to Parents

If you click on a completed report and scroll to the bottom you will then be able to click on the ‘Send email to Parents’ button.

A new menu will pop up where you can select which parents you want to send the reports to.

An example of the report email which is sent to the parents looks like this:

Parents will then be invited to leave a comment as shown below:

Printing the Report

Once he report is complete and the parents have submitted a comment you can create a pdf version of the report for your records.
To save the file simply right click on the pdf in the browser window and click “Save As…”
See example below of a completed report.
An example of what the blank PDF will look like:
