Lesson 10: Advanced App Navigation and System Logistics

Mastering Comprehensive System Functions for Efficient Day-to-Day Operations

Objective:
Understand how to navigate through advanced system features, manage media content, and handle essential logistical operations within the Kindertales app.

Overview:
This lesson explores the main menu's capabilities, including room navigation, media management, and essential system logistics that ensure efficient operation and security throughout the day.

Steps:

1. Main Menu Overview

   • Access high-level summaries of daily activities and milestones from the main menu. Use this menu to also navigate to areas covered by Quick Links for health, messages, reports, and checklists.

2. Changing Locations

   • To change your location within the center or to view another room:
     • Click on your current room in the main menu, view all rooms and common areas, and select where you want to go.
     • If you wish to simply view another room without moving, select the room and view its program.
     • To physically move and be included in another room’s staff-to-child ratio, ensure the 'check-in to selected room' toggle is selected before choosing the new room.

3. Understanding System Logistics

   • The Kindertales app includes an offline queue, ensuring that activities are recorded and accessible even without WiFi.
   • Differentiate between logging in/out and checking in/out:
     • Logging in/out affects your personal profile and does not impact the time card.
     • Checking in/out tracks your movements within the center, used for creating your staff time card.

4. Logging In and Out Procedures

   • Manage your personal profile by logging in at the beginning of your use and logging out when finished, ensuring security and preventing unauthorized access.
   • To log out, navigate to the bottom of the main menu and select Log Out.

5. Checking In and Out Procedures

   • Manage your daily movements by checking in at the start of your day or when moving rooms.
   • To check out, go to Check in history, review your movements, and make any necessary adjustments.
   • If discrepancies are found, use the pencil icon to edit the record and submit for approval to update the system accordingly.
