Activities

Select Activities from the left-hand menu for a specific member (child or carer) to display a list of all events attended by this member. To see a complete list of all events attended by all the members of the family, select Current Family | Activities | Existing Contact.

The list shows the Activity Name, the Date of the activity and the member's Attendee Status for that event. When all the results for a family are displayed, each member’s name, type and age are also included.

Filter the list by entering part or all of an Activity Name, and a date range. Select the check boxes in the upper right-hand corner to limit the number of activities listed to the first 100 results or to show only past events.

All a family’s events and activities are referred to as Contacts. Select Current Family | Activities | New Contact to add a new activity for a child or carer. When adding the new activity, you can choose which family members it applies to. You cannot add a new activity via Child | Activities or Carer | Activities.
