Using the Child Selection screen, you are able to search for children already entered on the system, and then modify, delete or view all the information relating to the selected child.
Once a child has been selected, information including account details, current timetable details and contact details are displayed on this screen for that child.
Children can be sorted for selection by either last name or first name. To limit the number of children selected, users can specify that the system searches all children by a variety of different categories i.e. current attendees, children not yet started, children who have left etc.
You are also able to add new children to the system.
