    5. Select a Learner 
    6. Set “Parent Share” to YES (see Parent Share Help and Setup at the bottom of this page for more information) parents will receive  a notification that there is a new observation to view
    7. Close the observation and wait for it to upload (a green dot appears in the top left-hand corner)

    9. Reopen the daily diary observation

Parent Share Setup

There are two ways to set up Parent Share so that you can either share observations with parents manually or instantly.

Turning ON the Parent Share review process allows you to check observations before sharing them with Parents and manually release them at a particular time frame for example at the end of each week, month, term, etc.

Turning OFF the Parent Share review process allows you to instantly share observations with parents at the point they are marked for Parent Share.

You can turn ON/ OFF the Parent Share review process at any time by following the below steps:

    1. From the Admin area click on the plus icon  next to Modules
    2. Click on the plus icon  next to Evidence Me
    3. Click Parent Share
    4. Select ON/ OFF
