Deleting children as they start school

[AnonyMouse_47142]

Hello,

 

We have set up Transfers to all the schools that our nursery children started at last week, can I now delete those children or do I need to wait until I have a Transfer complete notification from each school?

 

Thanks,

 

Mel

Good morning Mel,

I wouldn't recommend deleting your children until all the transfers have successfully completed. Although we have a long run in to deletion (90 days) to allow you to change your mind or realise a mistake, once those children have been deleted - they are really gone and so it their data. If you delete them and the receiving school has a problem and doesn't let you know about it in time, the clock is ticking on deletion.

What I suggest is that you make the children who are in the transfer process 'inactive'. You can do this from the 'manage children' section in your control panel (top right of your Tapestry screen). They won't count in your package limit and can be deleted once both you and the receiving school are happy that all the data has transferred successfully.

If you need any more help please do not hesitate to get back in touch! :1b

Than you Rebecca

 

I thought that may be the case, so I am pleased that I checked!

 

Many Thanks,
