BenTapestrySupport Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Once you have added an Activity to "Our Activity Collection" you can then create a "Planned Activity" based around it, or create a brand new, stand alone Activity. You will need to log into your Tapestry account from the browser, and choose the "Activities" option (1) from the menu, and then "Planned Activities" (2). From here, you will see all the Planned Activities that have been set (3) as well as seeing whether or not there have been any linked observations or whether it has come from an idea in the "Our Activities Collection". (4) Clicking on "Plan an Activity" (5) takes you to the page where you can start adding your own Activity for the children. When you start to "Plan a new Activity" you can first choose which children you wish to add to this Activity. (1) As with other areas of Tapestry, you are able to select individual children, multiple children or groups. To be able to save the Activity, you must give it a title (2). The notes section (3) is where you can start to add details of the activity, such as instructions, links to websites or resources that may be needed to complete the Activity. In the "Options" area you can change the date (4), status (5) and author of the activity (6). If you want to schedule an activity to go out at a later time or date you just need to select the time/date from the "Created" option and then from the "Draft/Publish" drop-down, select 'Schedule'. This tutorial will talk you through scheduling posts in more detail. If there are photos, videos or documents that you wish to include, these can be uploaded to the media section using the "Add Files" button (1). Once you have selected them, you just need to click on the "Start Upload" button (2). You can crop or rotate photos by clicking on the "Edit" button (3) and if any media has been added by accident, you can delete it individually or in bulk (4). Finally, you can change the order of media using the up and down buttons for each item of media (5). 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. In the "Links" section you can you can link a planned activity to observations (1), reflections - if you have this feature enabled (2), planned activities (3) and activities from your own collection (4). Once you are done, just remember to press save (5)! Go back to Main Tutorials Page
