End-of-Year Assistant Changes

Credit Balances

The View Remaining credit balances page is the second page within the Managing Debt and credit balances optional task from the EOY landing page. Once the first task has been completed for the Managing debt and credit balances task a School Manager will be directed to the View remaining credit balances task page. The user will have access to guidance links via the Help and Guidance section and will be provided with useful links to enable them to action the following:

  • Download a credit balance list
  • Download a debit balance lits
  • Perform refunds
  • Record a manual adjustment

Final Considerations

As part of the Angular updates being made to the End of Year Assistant the requirement for this story was to ensure a School Manager is able to access the Final Considerations option that appears at the bottom of the mandatory and optional tasks on the EOY landing page.

The option to select Final considerations is only available once the Update meal/session prices mandatory task has been completed (for a Till school it becomes available once the Update contact details task is completed). When the user selects Final Considerations they are directed to the Final Considerations page.

Clubs Payment Notification

When viewing a Club payment item within the Parent application the Choose payment amount field was displayed as the first option for parents or carers. The Book Sessions button appeared further down, and this was confusing users resulting in them making payments for a Club payment item and assuming by paying they were also booking the Club.

Enhancements have been introduced to make it clear to the user that making a payment for a Club is different from booking a session for a Club:

  • The Book Sessions button has been moved to the top of the payment item and has been changed to a blue colored button, to make it more obvious to the user that sessions still need to be booked for the Club.
  • A warning banner has been added to the payment item page for a Club. The banner will be permanently displayed and will state “Please be aware that making a payment does not book a place on a club session. To make a booking click here”. When the user clicks the click here link they will be directed to the booking page for the relevant Club.
