You can upload relatives onto Tapestry via CSV file. This is a quick guide to show you what the CSV document you need to create will look like and explain how you can convert a standard excel file sheet into a CSV file. Below is an examples of the excel sheet you will need. As you can see it just includes the heading of: First Name, Last Name, and Email. It is really important that you add the field headings into the CSV file - otherwise you will lose the first relative when importing the document.

These instructions describe the process of adding an individual child to Tapestry. If you would like to import children in bulk from a CSV file, which you may be able to export from a Management Information System (MIS) or other source, please take a look at the Importing data to Tapestry tutorial. This tutorial however, covers how to add children manually, one at a time. To do this, we need to go to the management area of Tapestry, the Control Panel. A manager can find this section by clicking on their name in the top right-hand corner (1) and selecting 'Control Panel' (2) from the drop-down menu. Once in the Control Panel, in the menu on…

It can be very useful to keep a log of what you've done in a program, especially when a number of people are using it. Tapestry includes a history tab which will tell you exactly what has happened when, including when people have logged in. You can filter this which you may find particularly useful if you have a large number of events and are looking for something specific. Let me show you how it looks and works: First off go to your control panel by clicking on your name in the top right hand corner (1) and selecting 'Control Panel' from the drop down menu (2). Then from the left hand side menu select 'History'. Once you…

On Tapestry you can set up assessment periods which you can then use in the tracking screens to see where children are and how they are progressing between the periods. We recommend that you set up your term dates at the beginning of your academic year. When setting up your assessment periods, we suggest you set them to match your setting's term dates and to match how often you check children's assessments; for example if you check these termly then you will only want 3 terms but if you check them half termly then you will want 6 periods. As this is a setting change, you will need to be signed into the browser version of Tapestry as a manager and go…
