A new Android app update is now out (version 5.1). This is for those of you using the Tapestry app on Android and Amazon Fire devices. There's nothing terribly exciting in this update, but it does fix a few minor bugs and does include some prep work for the next release - which will include new functionality!

Those of you with really large bespoke frameworks should find the Thoroughness page a little more manageable now - you can collapse/expand sections of your framework so you are only looking at the bits you're interested in.

There have been a few new tweaks to our existing billing and booking functionality. - Payment reminders. We know chasing parents for fees can be a bit awkward. To make it a little easier, we’ve added the ability to send a short message from Tapestry telling them how much is owed and how to pay it. You’ll find a button to do that on the Account Balances and Children > Finance pages. - Show a count for unpaid and unsent invoices. This is a small but useful change. You can now see how many unpaid/unsent invoices there are on the relevant tabs on the Invoices page. - Tweaks to some warning/info messages to make them a bit clearer. - New history events f…

Here is another round of changes for the management system. This time they’re to do with the invoicing section and it’s a big ‘un! 1. The main addition is the ability to record and allocate payments, then view how much credit/debit each child’s account is in within ‘Account Balances’. You’ll add a record of payments from each child’s new ‘Finance’ tab (go to Booking > Children > choose a child > then look in the tabs under their name and profile picture). Those payments will be automatically assigned to the child’s invoices, starting with the oldest one, but you can overrule that and allocate money to specific invoices if you choose. …

Assign bill payers and send invoice links This release gives you the ability to select the bill payer/s for each child from their list of relatives. After you’ve generated an invoice, you can choose to send it direct…

Children who sign into Tapestry themselves via the Child Login feature and who have had observations published for them in the Cherry Garden assessment framework will now be able to watch and interact with their Cherry Garden trees/flowers. The animation is a lovely way for them to see their progress and clicking on the leaves will reveal the observations, which act as a memory jog for all the brilliant things they've been doing. If you're not familiar with Cherry Garden, you can find out more on the Cherry Garden feature page.

Those of you using the Online Register will now see figures at the top of the page for the number of children currently expected (based on your Booking data) and the number of children currently attending (based on who has been signed in within the online register).

Today we have released the 3rd major part of the Tapestry Management System – Invoices. It joins Booking and Registers and is available on all Tapestry accounts at no additional cost. From now you’ll be able to set prices for your sessions, assign funded hours to each child’s regular schedule, and generate invoices based on your booking data. Here are the things you’ll be able to do, in a bit more detail: Set fixed, or hourly prices for each session. These can be a set cost for all children or based on age. Set up the types of funded hours you offer. Define how much you receive from your LA per funded hour (this will be useful for later f…

We're excited to announce Custom Report Templates as our latest new feature! If you’re using an assessment framework that doesn’t come with a pre-made Tapestry Report Template e.g. a bespoke framework, or if the template you currently use doesn't quite meet your needs, this is one for you! Managers can create report templates to their own specification using any of the predesigned sections the Tapestry team have created or flexible text boxes to be titled how they choose. Staff can then use those templates when writing reports. Some key benefits: flexible reporting to suit any framework or flagsets access to predesigned modules to make the creation …
