Shortcut for Recording Meal Counts in cx2go
January 10, 2013 Leave a comment
Are you looking to make data entry as quick and easy as possible for your centers? Here’s an idea: introduce them to cx2go and show them this quick-tip for data entry!
On the Record Meals screen, the center can record meal counts for multiple children at once, instead of having to select attendance for each individual child.
Here’s how:
- Access the Record Meals screen and select a meal.
- Click the Edit button at the top right of screen.
- Select each child who attended the meal. Note: To select a large number of children, use the Select All button and then deselect those who did not attend the meal.
- Click the Edit Selected Children button at the bottom.
- Select the meal serving that is being recorded.
- If applicable, use the Sick option to note that school-aged children were in attendance at the center because of an illness.
- Use the School-Out option to note that a school-aged child was in attendance at the center because of a school holiday or if school is not in session.
- Click the Apply button and all selected options will be added to the selected children.
- Always remember to SAVE your work!
This short-cut can make data entry into cx2go even faster! For more information about cx2go, click here!
