Actions

Actions are one-off point adjustments you use outside of routines and tasks. A Positive action adds points to reward good behaviour; a Negative action subtracts points for behaviour you want to discourage.

You’ll find them under the Actions tab in the bottom navigation.

The one idea to remember

There are two separate steps, and only one of them moves points:

• Defining an action creates a reusable template (its name, points and who it applies to). On its own it changes nobody’s balance.
• Registering an action records that it actually happened for a specific child — and that is what adds or subtracts points.

Think of the definition as an entry in a menu, and registering as placing the order.

The actions library

The library is your catalog of defined actions, grouped into Positive and Negative sections and sorted by point value. A strip of recently registered actions sits at the top. Each row shows the action’s name, description, point value and — when your family has more than one child — the avatars of the members it applies to.

The actions library, grouped into Positive and Negative with a recent-actions strip on top.

From here you can:

1. Register an occurrence — tap an action’s register link to record that it happened and move points.

2. Add a new action with the + button next to the page title.

3. Edit or delete a definition from a row’s ⋯ (overflow) menu.

Who can do what

Adding, editing, deleting and registering actions are for parents and other tutors. Children see a read-only, positive-only view of their own actions — no add, register or edit controls. If no members are selected in the header, or your family hasn’t created any actions yet, the library shows a friendly empty state instead.
