You can now access audit logs for your program's attendance records.
It's now easier than ever to understand and manage check-in and check-out information in brightwheel. When you export the check-in report, there is a new option to include attendance audit logs so you and licensing agencies can see if any changes were made to attendance records and if so, by whom and when.
Use the new weekly digest email to stay on top of upcoming invoices.
You'll now receive a weekly email every Saturday that summarizes all invoices scheduled to post in the coming week. If changes are needed, you can make adjustments up until 11:59pm the night before the invoice posts. If everything looks good, no action is needed on your end 👍.
And in case you missed it, here is a recap of the exciting improvements that have been recently made to the billing platform.
