To find out more about the new iOS app and how to download it, please see this page. For information about how to add an observation on the Android app, please see this other tutorial. You can check out a more comprehensive app walk through here, but, for now, let's get started on how to add an observation! Once you’ve logged in on your app, you can…

In this tutorial we're going to cover how to add an observation using the Android version of the Tapestry app. To do this using the iOS app see this tutorial. While you can view view Memos and Planned Activities though the latest version of the Android app, it's not currently possible to edit them or create them using the app. You need to sign in via https://tapestryjournal.com/ to do this. Once you’ve logged in via the Tapestry app, you can add an observation by tapping on the ‘+’ button at the top of the screen.

You can link observations, reflections, planned activities, or activities from your own Activities Collection to each other on Tapestry. This can help you to find posts that are related to each other. For example, an observation might cause you to think about something you could improve for your setting. In that case you might want to create a reflection with your thoughts in, and link that to the observation that made you think of it. Some things will automatically be linked together, e.g. observations created from a planned activity. For other things you'll need to add the links yourself. If you have permission to do that, you will see a…

The Care Diary function on Tapestry allows settings (schools, nurseries, childminders etc.) to input meal, toileting, nappy changes and sleep entries for a child and if they choose to, they can share these with parents and relatives. If your child's setting decides to share Care Diary entries with you then you will see an option for 'Care Diary' at the top of the screen when logged in to the browser version of Tapestry (1). Click on this to view entries for your child/children. This is what the page will look like if there are any entries for your child. If you have more than one child in a setting, you'll see their names at the top w…
