How To Add A New Activity Type

Do you have specific activities that you'd like to record at your service? Use Xap's learning activities option to create a customised list of activities that you do daily and would like to record. These can be sent as daily updates for parents to view or be recorded with the "staff-only" option enabled to internally track a child's progress and development.

What is an activity name?

This is the title of the activity. This title will appear on the activity update in the child's daily activity feed, along with any descriptions or pictures you choose to record. Examples include circle time, play time, quiet time, sensory exploration, art time, silent reading, or maths and science.

This help document will demonstrate how to add a new activity.

Step 1: Click on settings from the left-hand menu bar.

Step 2: Click on the activities icon.

Step 3: In the activities page, click on the green + sign to add a new activity.

Step 4: Add the required information as indicated in the image below.

By default, the system will add the fields "children list", "date" and "time" when creating a new activity type. These fields are not configurable. Also, if you prefer, you can add the fields "is staff only", "details" and "attachments". You can customise these fields as per your needs.

Step 6: When you have finished entering the information, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on save.
