Adding Manual Entries

When to Add Entries

Add entries whenever something happens that you want documented:

  • After a phone call with your co-parent
  • When you notice something about your child's behavior
  • After doctor appointments
  • When agreements are made verbally
  • For positive moments you want to remember
  • When concerns arise

Step-by-Step

  1. Go to Timeline
  2. Click "Add Entry" or the + button
  3. Enter details:
    • Title — Brief summary
    • Date/Time — When did this happen?
    • Category — Medical, School, Behavioral, Agreement, Positive, etc.
    • Description — Full details
    • Related Children — Which children does this involve?
    • Sentiment (optional) — How you're feeling about this
  4. Click Save
