Enter a Meal Count by Name (Monthly) [Feature]
This feature allows users to enter meal counts by name on a monthly basis. This method assumes that original meal counts are being taken on paper and then transferred in to My Food Program.
To use this feature:
- Click on the Monthly Bulk Entry by Name button from the main dashboard.
- Select the month and year and the click Done.
- Select the participant from the dropdown list.
- Active participants are listed alphabetically by last name followed by inactive participants alphabetically by last name.
- Click the green Submit button to load the page.
- Click the button next to each meal that the child or adult day care client attended that month. The button will start out grey and when you click, it will turn green.
- You also have the option of checking Select All to mark that meal type for the entire month.
- Depending on your site setup, you may see one or more of the following buttons:
- Use the bar at the bottom to scroll through all the dates.
- When finished, clicked the green Save button.
- Meal counts will not be saved if there is no corresponding daily attendance. The system will highlight those for you when you try to save.
