The new ELGs are now available on Tapestry. If you’d like to be an Early Adopter of them, a manager can enable them from within your control panel by going to Control Panel > Settings > Assessments. They will appear on the new iOS and Android apps (but not the Classic/Legacy versions). Currently there are no tracking or EYFSP submission forms on Tapestry for them, but these will be added later. Please note that for now, enabling these will not remove the current ELGs from the EYFS framework or snapshot screens.

We have now added the ability to enable Accidents separately from the Care Diary for schools and settings where using the whole Care Diary isn't age-appropriate. To enable Accidents on your account you just need to go to the Control Panel -> Features. There you will have the option to turn on either Accidents or the Care Diary. Please note, it is not possible to have both Accidents and the Care Diary enabled on your account, so if you already using the Care Diary and you enable Accidents, the Care Diary will then be turned off for your account. Don't worry if you do this by accident though, as you can turn the Care Diary back on and all your previous data w…

The top of the 'Manage Children' page within the control panel of Tapestry has changed. When you go there, you’ll now be able to clearly see how many child profiles are in each status. You will also be able to see how many children have been left as ‘Inactive’ for over 90 days. That acts as a prompt for you to look at the inactive profiles and think about whether any of them should now be deleted in line with your data protection obligations.

We have created an additional status for child profiles: ‘Enrolling’. This status will allow you to create profiles for the children joining your setting soon, before your existing children have moved, but without you needing to upgrade to a larger package size. Although you will not be able to link enrolling children to posts (observations, memos, activities, reflections), you will be able to fill in their ‘About Me’ pages, create labels for them, and organise them into groups. You can also set up the relatives of these new children and link them together. Relatives will be able to login to see their children on Tapestry, contribute to the About Me, and see any Docume…

You can now choose the order that the media in your observations, memos, activities, and reflections appears in. To do that, make sure you’re on the edit screen for the page you’re looking at, scroll down to where the media is added, then use the arrows next to each media item to move them up or down the list. Videos, audio clips, and pictures will still sit separately to documents when the page is saved, but you can change the order of them in each of their groups. I.e. If on the edit screen you order them: Picture 1 Document 1 Video 1 Document 2, You will see picture 1, video 1 in the large media section, and then document 1, document 2, below that.

We have now released an update to the iOS version of the app (4.1.9), for iPhones and iPads, which includes the ability to schedule observations on the app. You can see how to do this in this tutorial on how to add observations on the iOS app.

The Activities feature has now been released on the browser version of Tapestry. It includes a catalogue of activity ideas made for you by the Education Team here at the Foundation Stage Forum. You can amend those activities to suit yourself and set them for individuals or groups of children. You can also create your own unique activities and save them on your account for future use. Activities can be published for relatives to see right away, scheduled to go out on a future date, or just be saved for only staff to see. You, and each of the children’s relatives (if allowed) can then make observations of how the activity went and you can link those to the activit…

The ability to schedule posts on Tapestry is now available on the browser version of Tapestry. This new option allows you to set the ‘publish’ date of observations, memos, and activities to one in the future. That means you can set reminders to go out at the most convenient time without having to remember to publish them yourself, and you can prepare resources and ideas to go out to families days or weeks in advance. This might be particularly useful if you are working for a short period of time, then being furloughed for a few weeks. This is currently only available on the browser version of Tapestry, but parents only using the app will still only see the schedul…

You can now add audio clips to observations, reflections, memos, and activities on the browser version of Tapestry. The maximum length you will be able to add is 30 minutes and the maximum size is 5GB. You will be able to see and listen to audio files from the app or the browser version but you’ll only be able to add them from the browser for now.

To make it less confusing for relatives when they are setting up or resetting their password, we have changed the 'strong' password policy option for them. Now the two requirements are: The password must be at least 20 characters Must not be a common password, or an obvious variant of the school's name or person's name This change will not effect any existing passwords or password policies.
