Child Waitlist

The waitlist is where you keep prospective children who are not yet on roll — enquiries and offers you are holding until a place is ready. Children on the waitlist have a full child record, so you can start building their profile, add their relatives, and even raise a registration invoice before they officially start. When you are ready, you move a child off the waitlist and onto your main site with a single click.

​

Adding a Child to the Waitlist

1. Go to Children and open the Waitlist.
2. Click Add Child in the top right. The Add Child to Waitlist page opens.
3. Fill in the child’s details on the profile form, just as you would for any child.
4. Click Save.

The child is added to the waitlist rather than your main roll, and appears in the waitlist table.

​

The Waitlist Table

The waitlist shows the same details as your main children list, with one extra column:

• Added On — the date the child was added to the waitlist, so you can see how long each child has been waiting.

​

Moving a Child Off the Waitlist

When a place becomes available, you can move a child onto your main site.

​

For a Single Child

1. Find the child in the waitlist table.
2. Open the row’s options menu (the three dots on the right).
3. Click Move off waitlist and confirm.

The child moves onto your main roll and disappears from the waitlist. If your setting charges registration fees, you can also use Create Registration Invoice from the same menu to raise a registration invoice for the child while they are still on the waitlist. See Registration Fees.

​

For Several Children at Once

1. Select the children using the checkboxes on the left.
2. Choose a bulk action:
   • Add to main site — moves all the selected children off the waitlist and onto your main roll.
   • Delete From Waitlist — permanently removes the selected children from the waitlist.
3. Confirm when prompted.
