You can create an Event from the Events section by clicking on this icon or directly from a Child’s Timeline within their open record.

The information you have entered will now be shared with the child’s registered contacts on ParentZone.

ParentZone is the free app for parents that will give them instant updates whenever you post new information about their children.

It’s a safe and secure way to share information with your parents in real time.

To invite parents to ParentZone you first need to add them as a contact:

Select Contacts from the menu . From here you can Add a Contact.

Enter in as much data as you have available at each step (all fields marked with a * must be completed before you can save a contact). You’ll need to ensure that you have an up to date email address for your contact as they will receive their secure invitation via email.

Review your information. Make sure you’re happy with the data you’ve entered and then press Confirm.

Click on Link Children.

Select the child or children that this contact relates to.

Set the relationship type and then you can set their ParentZone status to Yes.

Once you have completed the steps, select Confirm.

This will automatically send an email to the contact to invite them to access ParentZone. The contact will need to pass a security check by correctly entering the date of birth of their related child.

The ParentZone status of the contact will be shown as Pending until the contact has activated their ParentZone account. Following this their status would be shown as Registered.
