Open the Service workspace

From your child’s summer camp or after-school page, or from the switch at the top, move from Family to Service: the Oratorio workspace opens. After the first visit the app reopens straight here. If you serve in several activities, pick the right one from Choose activity. At the bottom are the tools: Attendance, Notices, Games (summer camp) and Tutor diary (after-school).

Record a departure

In Attendance you see today’s participants in your team, with the status Expected, Present, Left or Absent. Check in records an arrival. For a departure select Check out on the row: in the window choose who is collecting among parents and authorized collectors, checking their ID if you don’t know them, then select Confirm departure.

Troubleshooting

I see “No active assignments”

You are not assigned to a team or a pairing in an open activity: ask the coordinator. Go to the Family view takes you back to the family workspace.

I see “No valid authorization. Contact the family to update pickup authorization before recording departure.”

Nobody is authorized to collect today: contact the family before letting the child leave.

I see “Attendance was not updated. Check the date and authorizations, then retry.”

Arrivals and departures can be recorded only for today: go back to today and try again.

I see “Could not confirm the shift. Try again.”

The confirmation failed: try again; if the shift was changed, reload the page.
