Adding and Editing Comments

Adding & Editing Comments


In Dayshare you are able to add comments about each child on the Children page; these comments will appear on the Dayshare email which the child's parents/carers will receive each day, meaning this is a useful way to pass on messages and communicate important information. 

To add a comment in Dayshare, do the following:
  1.  Click/tap on the 'Children' button. 
  2.  Scroll through the list of children and click/tap on the comment  button at the end of a child's row in the table. This will display the 'Comment' window:



  3.  If your comment is about a specific subject e.g. notifying parents of an event or closure taking place, enter a title for your comment.
  4.  Enter your comment.
  5.  You can attach a photo to the comment if you wish by clicking on the camera button. 
  6.  If you accidentally select the wrong photo, you can select the checkbox in the top right-hand corner of the photo thumbnail and click/tap on the 'Remove images' button. 
  7.  Once you have finished entering your comment and adding any photos, click/tap on the 'Save Comment' button. The window will close and you will return to the Children page.
  8.  Once a comment has been added, you will see a numbered badge overlaying the comment button. For example:



  9.  You are able to add as many comments as you wish, by simply clicking/tapping on the comment button to add another.
To edit a comment you have added, do the following:
