Work Areas

Work Areas are the places people work, like the Toddler Room, Miss Mary’s Room, Room 1, etc. Work areas include not only classroom names, but other areas like the Front Office, Kitchen or Transportation Shed. Work Areas are assigned to Departments, then Classrooms are selected from the list of Work Areas.

Getting There

1. From the Procare Home screen click Configuration > System.
2. Go to Data Management > Scheduling > dbl-click Work Areas.

Set Up Work Areas

1. Type the name of a new Work Area on the top (blank) line and assign it to a Department. Then tap Enter (on your keyboard) to get a new line where you may add more work areas.

2. Use the Up & Down arrows to change their order as needed then click Save > Exit.
   Next: Set up Classrooms from the list of Work Areas you just created.
