Saving activities to your library

Soft play, the park, messy play: you run the same activities every few weeks. Save each one to your Activity Library once, then pick it whenever you plan, instead of typing it out again.

1. Open your library

Open the Tools tab, choose Weekly Planning, then tap Activity library. Everyone in your setting shares the same library.

2. Add an activity

Tap +, add a cover photo if you like, and type the Title. Tap More details to add a description, resources, a Category, an Age range, a Duration and a Location. Tap Save.

Your activities show as photo cards, sorted A to Z. Use the search box or the category chips to find one fast.

3. Pick it when you plan

Back on Weekly Planning, tap New activity, then Pick from library and choose your activity. The title, description and resources fill in for you, and its cover photo is added to the activity. Choose the day and child, then save.

Already typed an activity you like? Tap Save to library in the form to keep it for next time.

4. Use it in the Daily Diary

In a child's diary, tap Pick from library under Activities. The activity's title is added to the text, so parents see it in their day summary.

5. Edit or delete

Tap a card in your library to change it, or tap Delete activity to remove it. Activities you've already planned keep their own copy, so nothing on your plan changes.

What to do next
