Step 1: Open the Setup Module and Select a Center

Ensure you are in the Setup module. Under Center, if you have multiple centers, select the center you wish to disable Setup Mode for.

Step 2: Access Configuration Settings

Scroll down and click Configuration to open the settings for the selected center.

Step 3: Review the Purpose of Setup Mode

When you are first setting up your ChildFriendly account, it will default to Setup Mode. This mode allows you to add all required information and settings before any emails or login access are sent to parents and staff. While Setup Mode is active, all emails are disabled.

Before turning off Setup Mode, make sure you are ready to:

  • Begin sending emails

  • Allow families and staff to receive their login information

  • Start accepting registrations

Step 4: Toggle Off Setup Mode and Confirm

Once you are ready to go live, locate the Setup Mode toggle and switch it off. When prompted, confirm that you want to leave Setup Mode; any previously delayed emails will now be sent out. Click OK to finalize.

Step 5: Begin Providing Access to Families and Staff

After Setup Mode is disabled, you can start giving access to your families and staff members, allowing them to log in and use the system.
