On Famly, you can easily add allergies, dietary preferences, and doctor info to a child's profile. In turn, this helps you plan meal options smoothly and gives you a detailed overview of allergies from several different places in the app. This article will run you through how to do just that.
Staff Permissions
Staff members can be set up to view or view and edit allergies. To set them up with the relevant permissions, head to Get started → Staff → Compare permissions. From here, navigate down to the Sensitive info section and open up the dropdown list.
If you would like staff to be able to view child allergies, but not edit them, select the Child allergies and dietary considerations - view permission only. If you'd like them to be able to view and edit allergies, check the Child allergies and dietary considerations - edit permission in addition.
Allergy Information
In Famly, information about a child's allergy is stored in their Profile, under Health in the About tab. A child's contacts who have been assigned a Parent role can add allergies to their child's Health information. If an allergy is added by a parent, or a staff member adds or updates and allergy, you will receive a notification.
Getting an Overview of Allergies
The room overview shows a child with allergies or dietary considerations.
To get there:
Click on the Home icon in your sidebar
Click on Overview
From here, click into a classroom to see children assigned to it
When the child is checked in, an icon next to the child's name will indicate whether they have any allergies or dietary considerations:
Red - Allergies
Blue - Dietary considerations
