You can create timeclock notes for both parents and staff:
Parents - you would go to the Family tab > Family List > Filter for children (need be) > Select children > Click on the top drop down > Select Create Timeclock Note. From here, you will type your note, enter start and end date and the maximum amount of views. Each time a parent uses the timeclock, that counts as 1 view.
Staff - you would go to the Staffing tab > Staff List > Filter for staff (need be) > Select staff > Click on the top drop down > Select Create Timeclock Note. From here, you will type your note, enter start and end date and the maximum amount of views. Each time a staff member uses the timeclock, that counts as 1 view.
