Create & edit an action

Defining an action creates a reusable template you can register again and again. Defining one does not move any points — points only change when you register an occurrence.

Create an action

1. Open the Actions tab and tap the + button next to the page title.

2. Choose the Kind: Positive adds points, Negative subtracts them.

3. Enter a Name (required) and, optionally, a short Description so it’s clear what the action covers.

4. Under Applies to, select one or more members the action is available for. At least one is required.

5. Set the Points value (defaults to 5, from 1 to 100). This is the base used to calculate the final points when you register the action.

6. Tap Add action. You’re returned to the library, where the new action appears in its Positive or Negative group.

The Add action form — pick a kind, name it, choose who it applies to, and set the points.

Action fields

The fields above:

• Kind — Positive adds points, Negative subtracts them. Required; defaults to Positive.
• Name — required, at least 2 characters.
• Description — optional.
• Applies to — one or more members the action is available for. Required, at least one; a new action starts with nobody selected.
• Points — the base value (see the note below). Required, 1–100. Default 5. Hidden for Negative actions when your family has negative points turned off.

Points value vs. final points

The Points value here is only the base. When you register the action you also pick a Level (an intensity from 1 to 5), and TaDone combines the two to work out the points that are actually awarded or deducted. See Register an action.

Edit an action

Open a row’s ⋯ (overflow) menu in the library and choose to edit. The form opens pre-filled with the action’s current details, and the submit button reads Update action. Editing the definition doesn’t change any points that were already registered — it only affects future occurrences.

Delete an action

1. In the library, open the action row’s ⋯ menu.

2. Choose Delete action.

3. Confirm in the dialog that asks whether you’re sure you want to delete the action.

Negative points may be hidden

If your family has turned negative points off in settings, Negative actions hide the points field (and the value has no effect). Turn the setting on to have Negative actions deduct points.

Who can do this

Creating, editing and deleting action definitions are limited to tutors (parents, and roles such as therapist or educator). Children can’t reach these forms.
