Questions

What if the child is already in Farlow?
The form says A child with this name is already at the center. and offers to show them. If it really is a different child with the same name, tap Add anyway - a different child.
Can I bring in the whole roster from a spreadsheet?
Yes, from Import in the menu, which reads a CSV or Excel file of families.
Do I need the parents' details first?
No. Add the child, then the parents on the Family card.
