as MCH Coordinators, Team Leaders or Admin staff only.\nIf a group type (that is, template) that is required has not been created, contact your MCH Coordinator or Team Leader.\nOnly use group templates that have already been created to add groups.\nGroup templates are the basic structure of a group.\nGroup templates comprise:\ngroup type\ncouncil group name\ntarget age\nrecommended group size\nnumber of sessions\nsession topics planned\nA waitlist is available for use for every group template.\nSpecific groups are formed by Add new Group to that group template.\nNote: Groups can be set up in advance if group dates are known or can be set up once there are enough clients on the group template waitlist to warrant a group.\nA client (child) can be:\nadded directly to the relevant specific group\nadded to a group template waitlist and then added to a specific group.\nFor example, if a Council has 2 MCH Centres:\nCollins St centre – three sites or offices have planned groups, so they book clients directly into specific groups\nBourke St centre – one site or office places clients onto the group template waitlist. Once there are enough clients on the group template waitlist to warrant a group, a group is added to the group template and the clients are moved from the waitlist to that group.\nThis is illustrated in Figure 1.\nFigure \u0013SEQ Figure \\* ARABIC\u00141\u0015: Adding to a group and adding to a waitlist\n\u000f\nAdd a specific group to a group template\nThat is, ‘Add a new date’.\nFrom the home (search) screen, go to ‘Schedule’, then ‘Groups ‘and then ‘Group Templates’\nSelect the plus icon next to the name of the relevant group template\nSelect the ‘Add new date’ button (under the name of the group template)\nIn the ‘Add new start date for group’ pop-up box:\nComplete required data fields\nSelect ‘Calculate Session Dates’ button\nEdit session dates or times if required – use digits or arrows, or select desired date using calendar box\nUntick the checkbox next to session, if wanting to skip a session (or day or week and so on).\nNotes:\nPublic holidays are not currently identified when adding session dates ","cbCaidSFffLXNNt7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidSFffLXNNt7","docx",456773,10,"English","# Overview\n## Add a specific group to a group template\n## Add facilitators to a specific group\n## Option A: Add client (child) directly to a specific group\n## Option B: Three-step process","[{\"question\":\"Who is responsible for creating and setting up group templates in CDIS?\",\"answer\":\"Only designated staff such as MCH Coordinators, Team Leaders, or Admin staff should perform the initial group set-up (creating a new group template).\"},{\"question\":\"How are public holidays handled when adding session dates to a group?\",\"answer\":\"Public holidays are not identified at date-adding time, so dates must be checked and an extra week or session added, then the public holiday date is unticked so it is not included in group dates.\"},{\"question\":\"When can session dates and times be edited for a group?\",\"answer\":\"Session dates and times can only be edited if there are no clients already in that group; once the group has started, additional session dates or times cannot be added.\"}]","Overview - child-development-information-system groups process | DOCX",1788279413]
