Creating a Food/Drink Observation

How to add when a child has eaten or drunk something onto their profile

Introduction

Step 1 – Start on the ‘**Home**’ page

Step 2 – Select the child/children you are wanting to record the ‘Food/Drink’ activity for. They will be highlighted in blue when selected. The total number of children selected is displayed.

Step 3 – From the activity tab, Select ‘**Food/Drink**’

Step 4 – Set the Date and time. By default, this is set to the current time but you can backdate your work.

This is automatically set to the active user. To change author, you must sign in as a different user OR Admin users have the ability to update the Author
Step 5 – Enter food and drink items into the ‘**Meal Items**’. This has a guessing function so after you have entered it once, it will be saved in the system for next time. Simply start typing your item and it will appear.

Example: here we start typing banana

Step 6 – Set the amount consumed for ALL children ranging from 0 to “finished the lot”

Step 7 – Select ‘Show Individuals’ to update the quantity consumed for each child separately

Step 8 – Set the amount consumed by each child individually

Step 9 – Add a generic description that applied to all children for what they have had to eat/drink.

Step 10 – Upload a photo or video to support your activity.

Step 11 – Toggle On/Off ‘**Share with the parents**’ depending on your preference and hit ‘Submit’
