We have released a new version of the iOS app (4.1.8) and updated the 'beta' version of the Android app. Among lots of other tweaks and improvements, both now give you the opportunity to add and view clickable links in the Notes and Additional Information fields, view documents that have been attached to observations, and attach videos that are up to 5GB in size or up to 10 minutes in length (whichever limit is reached first). If you have an Apple device with automatic updates set up then you should already have the latest one, but if not or if you’re not sure, you can manually download it from the Apple App store. Just search for ‘Tapestry Journal’ then click on …

We have added a shortcut to make it a little easier to split group observations up. Until recently you would have had to individually tick off the children you would like to have their own version of a particular observation. Now however, once you have clicked on the option to split a group observation, you will see a button at the top of the list of names saying ‘split all’. Unfortunately this ability to split observations is currently only on the browser version of Tapestry so you will not see this new feature on the apps just yet.

Memos is a new way to post on Tapestry. Much like a bulletin board you can use it to share news, updates, and reminders with relatives. Just attach the children whose parents you’d like to send the information to and publish your post for them to see it. Within these posts you will be able to include notes, clickable links to other webpages, media, and documents. They will also have a comments section for parents if you’d like to have that enabled. Unfortunately, this isn’t quite ready on the apps yet, but it is on the to do list! We'll update this page when it becomes available.

You can now upload documents as well as videos and pictures to observations, memos, and reflections. This includes Word documents, Powerpoints, PDFs, and Excel sheets. As well as being able to view them on the browser, you can now see these attached documents on the latest live version of the iOS app and the ‘beta’ Android app. To access the Android beta just click here when on the device you want to use Tapestry with. For most of you this beta version should be significantly better than the current live version but if you have any problems, then you can delete it and re-download the existing live version without any data loss. If you do experience any issues with i…

In response to the coronavirus pandemic and the self isolation and setting closure that has come with that, we have temporarily increased the limit on single media uploads to Tapestry. Until recently that has been 100MB (works out as about a minute worth of video), but as of now you can upload videos that last up to 10 minutes or are as big as 5GB. This will be available until further notice. The idea is that you and the families of the children in your care will be able to upload longer videos of activities and ideas for remote learning – for example, you might want to upload a video of you reading a story, or of setting a task, and ask parents to send one back of t…

If you include a web address in the notes, additional info, or comment fields of observations, memos, or reflections it will now automatically become a clickable link. This means if you want to direct a parent or colleague to a particular online resource, they’ll now be able to go straight there, rather than having to copy and paste the link into a browser. This is available on the browser and the latest live iOS app. To access it for Android you need to download the ‘beta’ version of the app, which is quick, easy, and free to do. Just click here when on the device you want to use Tapestry with. For most of you this beta version should be significantly better tha…

Every user now has the option to completely disable any of the notifications they receive from Tapestry. We still highly recommend that at least one manager per setting is notified of what happens on your account though! If you would like to disable some or all your notifications you can do so by logging into the browser version of Tapestry, clicking on your name and going to ‘edit preferences’. From there you’ll see a button to change your notification preferences. Alternatively you can change them from within your app by logging in, clicking on 'You' in the top left hand corner, then clicking on 'What we notify you about'. Just remember to save any changes you mak…

We have updated the Reports system on Tapestry to provide a range of templates, include additional features, and generally make it more flexible. We’ve also moved it to make it easier for staff and relatives to find. You’ll now be able to see it in the navigation bar at the top of your page when you are on the browser version. Those of you who have been using Tapestry to make reports up to now will be able to see that all of the ones you’ve already made have been moved into the new system. You can read more about the Reports system here: https://tapestry.info/features/reports.html You can find the first of our tutorials about it here.

If you are using the SEND framework on Tapestry, it's now possible to download a file with all the statements included. To do this you just need to go into an observation, select the SEND framework and click on the 'Download SEND statements' button.
