This tutorial explains how to delete observations and also how to restore observations after you have deleted them. It's possible to delete observations through the app and browser version of Tapestry (this tutorial will show you how to do both), and you can restore observations on the browser version and new versions of the app, but it's not possible to do this on the original app. In this tutorial the screenshots of the app I will show you are from the new version of the iOS app, which is a separate app to the original one. This article talks you through some of the new features of the new iOS app and how to download it and this one explains this for the new Androi…

Updated 02/06/21 To keep our servers running smoothly and keep the Tapestry subscription cost affordable, Tapestry has limits on the file size and length of individual video you can upload. The current limits for a single video are 5GB or 10 minutes, whichever limit is reached first. It's worth noting older versions of the Tapestry app have lower limits, so make sure you have the most up to date Android or iOS app installed. We appreciate that you may have a longer video you would like to upload, or perhaps a shorter video recorded at a very high resolution, so here are a few tips to optimise your videos for the limits on Tapestry. Click the link that b…

Although many Tapestry managers are already aware of the need to protect access to Tapestry accounts with strong passwords, it can also be tempting to try to make them easy or memorable enough for staff or parents to remember without needing constant re-setting. Although the temptation is strong it ought to be resisted, for one big reason: guessing a user's password is the single most likely way for anyone to gain access to the journals and their data. In the following tutorial we'll discuss the most obvious weaknesses, and offer some advice on things to think about when establishing your password policies. Some of it might seem obvious, but hopefully some will also …

Tapestry allows you to copy a child's/children's profile/s from one Tapestry account to another. This means that if a child is moving up your setting, and you have different accounts for different cohorts, or if they are moving to a different setting entirely, but to one which also uses Tapestry, you are able to send across the observations that have already been made to the new account. As well as that being a nice thing for parents (because all the observations for their child are in one place), it's a really useful thing for practitioners - it means they can see a history for the child (what sorts of things they've been doing/enjoy doing) and gives them an idea of h…

To change your PIN, email address, and password you will have to log into the app. If you don't have a PIN you will need to press the red 'Log Out' button first in order to get to the screen that asks for your email and password. NB - please please look through this advice tutorial if you're not sure why it is important to set your password uniquely and securely. We also have a tutorial here on how to change your password on the browser version of Tapestry. Once you have logged in, go to the cog in the top left hand corner (or the 3 horizontal lines in the top right hand corner if you are using an android device). Then click on the 'settings' …

To help prevent hackers attempting to guess user accounts through repetitively entering hundreds of passwords, Tapestry automatically shuts a user out if an incorrect password is entered three times. It's only for fifteen minutes, but this means it would take huge amounts of time for someone to stumble upon the correct password. However, to enable you to resolve this yourself (eg if a staff member has accidentally locked him/herself out) Tapestry also allows managers to unlock accounts for staff and/or parents. This is how you go about it: Go to the (1) Manage staff screen in the Control Panel, and find the relevant member of staff. If they are still locked out …

This tutorial explains how you can access and add comments to a report for your child. Please note that this can only be done when the staff at your child’s setting have made the report visible to you. It's also worth noting that the ability to like, comment or download media from a report can be restricted by your setting, so these options may not always appear. Firstly, you'll need to log into the browser version of Tapestry at tapestryjournal.com The reports function is not available on the app but you can access it from a browser on your mobile or tablet device. To access your reports, click the 'Reports' tab in the blue bar at t…

It is not possible for relatives to delete any observations from Tapestry, including the ones they have added, so, if you are a relative, please make sure you are happy with it before you post it. If you do want to delete it after you have posted it, you will need to get in contact with your child's Setting directly. You can however, delete a comment you have made on an observation. To do this you just need to press the red 'X' button in the top right hand corner of the appropriate comment. Being able to edit your own observations is something that the setting who set you up with your Tapestry account can choose to give you permission to do. If they have gi…
