Changing your centres calendar and transferring children across is a simple procedure made easier with a wizard. To run the Year-end wizard log into Kidiwinks selecting the centre you wish to create the new calendar in. then follow these steps:-

1.   Select the General Admin menu.
2.   click on General Setup which will take you to a new menu.
3.   Select the Year End Menu option.
4.   Now that the Year End Wizard is running you should be able to follow each form through. If you have more than one centre make sure you name your year uniquely. e.g. the initials of the centre then the year.
After naming the year select the days of the week that your centre operates making sure the the sessions are ticked thath you wish to operate.

N.B. If you do not select the sessions to operate the sessions will not appear in the new calendar.

At this stage you are able to select up to four terms. Once the terms have been selected then you can enter the start date and end date of each term. On selecting the end date make sure that you enter the day after your actual close.

Once all the details have been entered click on the forward arrow button located at the bottom of the wizard. An new form will appear allowing you to confirm when to start the transferring of children from the current roll to the new years roll. If these dates are correct click once again on the forward arrow button.

Finally you are asked whether you wish the new calendar to operate as the current year for the centre. If not just click on the no button.

You now need to click on the red Exclaimation button (finish button) to complete the year end process. This may take a little while depending on the speed of your computer.

Once completed you may click on the Return menu option to resume your normal processing. For users who have more than one centre it is recommended that you log out of kidiwinks and log back in to kidiwinks selecting the next centre you wish to create the 2004 calendar for.
