2.  Click/tap on the plus button  to create a new activity. The 'Create/Edit Activity' window will appear:
   
   
   
   
3.  Ignore the 'Template' field; when creating a new activity this field can be left as 'None'.
    Enter the name of the activity in the “make this unique for today” field.
4.  Select the Start and End Time of the activity.
   
5.  Enter a description of the activity and click/tap on “Save”.
   
   
   
   
6.  To assign children to the activity click/tap on the plus button at the end of each row:
   
   
   
   
7.  You can enter individual comments for each child in the textbox by their name.
    You can make the textbox bigger by clicking-and-dragging the bottom right-hand corner of the field.
   
8.  If you want to add a photo click/tap on the camera button on the right-hand side of the comments field. You can upload any photo from your files, or if you are using a device with a camera, you can capture a photo in the moment.
   
   
   
   Children that have photos attached to their activity will have a numbered badge on the camera button, showing the number of photos that have been added.
