Organisation Set Up
Most of a site’s setup is done in Settings. This is also where the network of your sites will show.
The tabs down the side are Network, General Information, Registration, Booking, Billing, Payments, Invoicing, Subsidy, Tablet, Messaging, Notification, Feeder Schools.
General Information
Go through this tab and enter your site’s details including contact information, lease information and franchisee information(only change this if applicable otherwise leave it blank)
Invoicing
Invoice Frequency/Billing period – Parents can choose depending on options you give them.
Invoice Settings
Invoice Date – choose what populates on the “date” field on the invoice.
Generate Invoice Settings – choose what week and day the invoice generates.
Invoice Due Date Settings – choose what week and day the invoice is due.
Billing
Payments
This allows for online credit card payments through aimy Plus. To use this feature, you will need to set up an account with one of the gateway providers aimy Plus integrates with. Our chosen partner for online payments is EzPay. Once your EzyPay account is set up the aimy Plus team can assit you with the integration.
Payment methods like bank transfer can be added at the bottom of the page by clicking add payment method
Messaging
Ticking these boxes allows for these communications to be sent from aimy’s Bulk Messaging tool. You would leave one of these unticked if you wanted a staff member to have access, but did not want them to send a certain type of message, e.g. SMS Messaging.
Tablet
Enter in a master pin (only needed for web based version of the app) and set if photos will be displayed or not. The reason you would hide photos would be that your internet is particularly slow.
Booking
Enable customized booking – Unchecking this setting causes parents to be limited to only book into Booking Templates.
Booking Info – Notes written here display to parents when they come to make a booking. Make sure the "publish” box is ticked when the message is ready for parents to see and click save down the bottom
