eylog: Writing daily diaries

You can use the Daily Diary to record a child’s daily actions – including nappy changes, sleep times, etc – and absences. You can do this for one child at a time, or see and edit all daily diaries at once from the group Daily Diary screen. Once they’re written, daily diaries can be shared with parents. 

Writing a daily diary for an individual child

1. Log in as a practitioner to see the list of children you have access to.
2. Tap a child’s picture to select them.
3. Tap the  Daily Diary icon at the top.
4. You will automatically be taken to the current day’s diary. You can change the date by tapping the arrows at the top.
   
5. Fill out the diary.
6. Upload media to the diary by tapping Add images in the Media/Observations tab.
   
7. Tap Share with parents if you want the child’s parent to be able to see the diary, or tap Save as Draft to share later.
8. Tap Publish when the daily diary is complete for the day.

Writing daily diaries for multiple children

1. Log in as a practitioner to see the list of children you have access to.
2. Tap the  Daily Diary icon at the top.
3. You’ll be taken to a screen with daily diaries for all children. 
4. Fill out the daily diaries. 
5. Tap the box next to children to select them.
   
6. Tap Share with parents so that the parents of all selected children are able to see the diaries, or click Save as Draft to share later.
7. Tap Publish when the daily diaries are complete for the day.

For just the group daily diaries, only practitioners with Can Publish Observations ticked on their profile can Share with parents and Publish. Those without permissions can only Save as Draft.
