Allow Extended Meal Count Entry Time Frame for Designated Users
We offer two options for restricting meal count entry for site-level users with “staff” or “infant teacher or kitchen staff” permission level:
- Point-of-service (during meal service time)
- Day (by midnight each day)
For site managers/directors (providers or center directors) users have the
option to give them the option to go back in time or impose the point-of-service or day restrictions.
We also offer more customization for site managers/directors. The additional options are:
- By a Day of Week: for example, you require that all attendance and meal counts be entered by Friday each week.
- By a Date of the Month: for example, you require that all attendance and meal counts are entered by the 5th of the month for the month prior.
