Create a Potty Journal

To add a new Potty journal:

1. In the dialog box, select the journal Type drop-down menu. Select Potty as the journal type.
2. Ensure the Staff/Admin and Admin View Only boxes are not selected. This way the journal will be visible to parents.

      3.   Enter the Time the toileting occurred.

      4.   Select the Toilet Type drop-down arrow and select the type of toileting that occurred. Available options are: Toilet, 
            Diaper, or Undies.

      5.   Select the Toilet drop-down and select the type of toileting that occurred. Available options are: Dry, Peed, and
            Bowel Movement. 

      6.   If the child had an accident, slide the toggle over to indicate this. Otherwise, leave the “Had an accident” area
            unchecked.

      7.   The Description box is used to add any relevant details. An example is for a child who is potty training, letting the
            parents know their child notified the staff they had to go, rather than being asked to try.

    8.   Click Submit to save and publish the completed journal.

You can now view the journal in the child’s profile.
