Q. Why can't I edit a policy that's in use?

A.  A policy is a legal agreement between families and your center. Editing a policy that is already attached to an Online Registration form can alter the agreement made. To edit a policy you are currently using, detach it from the Online Registration form, edit it, and then reattach it for future registrations or enrollments.

Q.   How can my imported families agree to policies?

A.  Right now, families who are imported can't agree to policies during the import process. To get around this, you can enroll all imported families in a Program, such as "Existing Families. Then, follow these steps:

1. Create an Online Registration Form for the "Existing Families" Program.
2. Include Policies as a required step in the registration or enrollment process.
3. Invite Parents and Contacts to Download the CircleTime Mobile App.
4. When families use the app to register their children, they will be asked to agree to any necessary policies for your center.
