Child Finder makes it simple to find any child's information across your Network and also offers easy access to CLONE and add SIBLING.
Using the CLONE feature is an effective and is recommended to use when the child who is already enrolled in one of the centers in Network, needs to be added to another center. Using the SIBLING feature ensures that parents have all of their children under the same UpBup accounts.
The Child Finder function is available for Admins on the CHILDREN Dashboard page via CHILD FINDER button
To initiate a search for a Child, click CHILD FINDER button. This will open a Child Finder page, where you can provide your search criteria.
If the child is enrolled in more than one center or there are more than one child with this First Name or Last Name, Child Finder will display all results across the Network.
The search can be refined by using the combination of criteria.
The Parent's Phone number is not displayed within Child Finder for security reasons. The phone number is available to Admin on the CHILDREN Dashboard.
NOTE:
As the name search is case sensitive, enter the First Name and Last Name exactly as submitted by the parent during form submission.
For example, if the parent entered first name as 'John', search for 'John' (first letter capitalized). If the parent entered 'john', search for 'john' (all low case). This rule should be applied to the last name as well.
If you are not sure how parent entered the name, you can use all lower case search, this way the results will include all children within Network, who's data meets the criteria
You can also search for children based on the parent email address. This ensures you are finding the child within the right account.
