How the Feature Works #

Dormefy’s Auto Meal Assigning feature is designed to streamline meal management by automatically adding meals to every member’s meal counter for an entire month or quarter. This eliminates the need for dorm managers to manually input meal counts for each member, making the process more efficient.

This feature works in two ways:

1. Automatic Assignment at the Start of a New Month/Quarter
   When the manager starts a new month or quarter, meals are automatically assigned to every active member’s meal counter, based on the dorm settings.
2. Manual Assignment of Meals
   Dorm managers can manually assign meals to members individually through the Meal Counter. The number of meals assigned is dependent on the setting called Set Default Meal Count for Members. This setting determines how many meals are added per member and can be adjusted according to dormitory needs.

Key Details: #

• The Set Default Meal Count for Members setting is located in the Dormitory section of Dormefy. By default, the value is set to 1 but can be adjusted by the manager.
• Meals are assigned automatically only when a member’s Meal Status is set to On.
• Dorm managers have the flexibility to set the default meal count to 0, 1, or any other value that suits the dormitory’s needs.
