Configure Moment Types

I
Written by Imogen Shelton

Moments are daily updates used to share information about a child's activities, care, and milestones with families. Moment types allow your organization to control which types of Moments are available for staff to post and which are restricted to administrators.

Important
​
A Moment type must be turned on using the toggle on the left before it can be set to Admin Only. If the left toggle is off, the Moment type will not be available for posting, even if Admin Only is turned on.

Access Moment Type Settings

Follow these steps to view and configure Moment types.

1. Click Admin

From the left-hand navigation, click Admin.

2. Click Configuration

At the top of the Admin page, click the Configuration tab.

3. Click View Moment Types

In the Moment Configuration section, click View Moment Types.

4. Configure the Moment Types

Use the toggles to make Moment types available for posting and, when needed, restrict them to administrators.

Understand the Toggles

Left toggle - Make the Moment Type Available

• Turn the toggle on to make the Moment type available for posting.

• Turn the toggle off when the Moment type should not be available.

• This toggle must be on before Admin Only can be used.

Admin Only

• Turn Admin Only off when staff should be able to post the Moment type.

• Turn Admin Only on when only administrators should be able to post the Moment type.

• Admin Only does not make a Moment type available by itself.

Configuration Examples

The examples below show how the two toggles work together.

Incorrect setup: Left toggle OFF + Admin Only ON

The Moment type is not available for posting. Admin Only does not override the left toggle.

Staff can post: Left toggle ON + Admin Only OFF

The Moment type is available and staff can post it.

Admin only - correct setup: Left toggle ON + Admin Only ON

The Moment type is available, but only administrators can post it.

Quick Reminder

First, make the Moment type available using the toggle on the left. Then, if the Moment should be restricted, turn on Admin Only.
