Notifications, parent uploads & report export

The bell icon in every portal, parent-recorded audio uploads, and downloading branded PDF reports.

The notifications bell

Every portal has a bell icon in the top-right header. A small dot indicates unread notifications. Click it to open a drawer showing the most recent activity for your role, newest first.

  • Admins see new client recordings, billing alerts, and team activity.
  • Clinicians see new recordings in their queue, parent messages, and reassignments.
  • Parents see new clinician messages, new badges or milestones earned by their child, and re-record requests.
  1. 1Click the bell to open the drawer.
  2. 2Tap any notification to jump straight to the relevant screen — the recording, message, or report.
  3. 3Click 'Mark all as read' to clear the dot. Notifications stream in real-time so the bell updates without a refresh.

Parent recording uploads

Parents can record short audio clips themselves and send them to the clinician — useful for capturing speech outside structured practice (e.g. a spontaneous attempt at the dinner table).

  1. 1On the parent path page open the 'Send a recording' card.
  2. 2Tap the microphone, say or have your child say the word, and tap stop.
  3. 3Optionally type a short note for the clinician (what was happening, why you're sending it).
  4. 4Tap 'Upload'. The clinician sees it in their Reviews queue tagged 'Parent upload', and an AI score is generated automatically.

Where it shows up

Parent uploads appear in the same Reviews queue as child path recordings, with a small 'Parent' badge so the clinician knows the context. They count toward the weekly recording total but not toward the child's star streak.

Exporting a client report as PDF

  1. 1Open the client's report from /admin/reports or the client detail page.
  2. 2Click 'Download PDF' in the top-right.
  3. 3A new tab opens at /admin/reports/$clientId/print with a print-optimised layout — practice logo, weekly progress, phoneme heatmap, adaptive difficulty, and the date range you had selected.
  4. 4Use the browser's print dialog (Ctrl/Cmd+P) and choose 'Save as PDF'. Modern Chrome, Edge, and Safari all produce a clean single-document PDF.
  5. 5Send to the family email or attach to the clinical record. The PDF is branded with your practice logo if one has been uploaded in Settings.
