AnonyMouse_11362 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi, Just wondering if there has been any progress on the newsletter function that was suggested as a possibilty a few months ago? We tried having a false child and adding all parents but we had complaints from parents that they could see each others names. Is this going to happen soon? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear about this. I currently just write a weekly catch up on an observation page and tick all children onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Womble, The feature is still in development, but I have added you to the list of people to contact when we have further announcements. If any other users would like to be contacted about this, please reply as such to this thread, and we will review the thread when this is ready, or alternatively send an email to customer.service@eyfs.info.

AnonyMouse_49984 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi Womble We do already publish our newsletters using an alias child, but in the settings, we have set them so parents cannot see each other so works fine they all get the news but cannot see the other parent names? We also enter parents who like the news into a draw for 2 hrs free child care encourages them to read the newsletter and we can monitor how many are ? Reading it.

EmilyTapestrySupport Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi zigzag, Sure! We'll let you know once we have been able to do this. Best wishes, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_78676 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would love to be able to do this. Currently we send home a paper newsletter but I would like to be able to put it on Tapestry as well. Currently I add messages for all parents as observations for everyone (FS2 setting) which hasn't been an issue so far. I wondered if it would be possible to have the option of uploading a PDF document in media as I could attach current newsletters for parents to read rather than copying and pasting?

Hi Ashleigh7, Welcome to the forum! We will update this thread with any news regarding sending newsletters through Tapestry to keep you informed. Thanks for your suggestion about being able to add attachments, I will pass this along so this can be discussed with the rest of the team.

AnonyMouse_22029 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Oh me too. I email a weekly newsletter but not sure how many parents actulla look at it. But I can see when they access Tapestry so it would be brilliant new feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_80563 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I would really like to hear about an update on this.. I added my newsletter as an observation yesterday for all children but this sounds a much clearer way of doing it. An option to add a file instead of photo would also be fab 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyTapestrySupport Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Rachel_Wright, Thank you for your feedback as well. We will keep you updated with any progress we make on this. Best wishes, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_43750 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi I would also love to hear about this function, the PDF upload would be amazing as we are trying to get away from printing things out and as the majority of parents access Tapestry this would be a tool we would use a lot!

EmilyTapestrySupport Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi Jo, It's great to see so many of you are interested in seeing this features on Tapestry! We'll make sure you are kept up-to-date with this. Best wishes, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Of course. We did hit a bit of a snag with it which is why it isn't ready yet, but we haven't forgotten about it! I'll update you all by emailing you as well as posting here when it's released . Best wishes, Lauren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 This would be great, at the moment I send as an observation with a logo as photo to say what it is but of course they all end up in the child’s journal, I’ve now just created 2 chn, one called ‘policies’ and one called ‘news’, and added them to a parent to trial, I think it will work if I tell parents to only add ‘read’, it won’t all be in the journals and is ok whilst you have subscription places available.

EmilyTapestrySupport Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi Nesswood2, Thanks for your feedback! The ability to add PDF documents to observations is definitely something on our list of things to add, and we'll keep it in mind for this too.

AnonyMouse_43750 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hi I was wondering if there was any updates or a timescale as to when PDF functions might be available? Thanks Jocrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlayaTapestrySupport Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi Jocrow, I am afraid that we do not have a time frame for this feature yet, although we have recently changed its priority level to high, meaning that it is a function we will start working on imminently! We will keep you posted with any changes Best wishes, Olaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_77280 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Is there any news on this? We would find it really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyTapestrySupport Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hi, You could use our Documents feature that we added at the end of last year to upload newsletters and share these with parents. I've linked our tutorials below which will explain how to set up and use this feature. I hope it helps!

KatTapestrySupport Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi, We are pleased to announce that we have recently released our Memos feature for use on Tapestry; this feature allows you to send communications and notices to all or specific relatives. You can find our tutorial for enabling and using this feature below: Enabling memos We hope you enjoy it! Best wishes, Kat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_98906 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thank you, just catching up on this as I am now isolating! I have used the memo feature but found it a bit difficult to add the newsletter to send to each parent without others seeing [we had a parent complain about this!] I'll keep playing with it!
