After you login you will see a screen that  looks like the following (non-parent)

Notice on the left hand side:

 the Change Password link at the bottom left. This is where you can modify your password
The Today's Chore Chart link. This will bring up the chore chart with today's date.
The Late CheckIn button.  Use this to go back and fill in previous day's chores.

Notice on the right the Report section

The Family Report link. This will popup a summary chart of your family's scores.  You can see how close the family is to realizing its Celebration!
The My Summary Report link. This will pop up a report where you can see each weeks summary scores and it has links to each weeks loggers.

Setting up a Chore Chart

To set up a chore, first decide what day you want to begin.  If the day you want to start from is before today's date, you will do a Late Check In.  

• A Late Check In takes you back in time.  It is just as if you were on that day.  Either enter the date directly in the Late CheckIn text area (to the left of the button) or click on the calendar icon.  This will popup a calendar from which you can chose the date.  Once the proper date is in the text area, click on the Late CheckIn button.
• To start from today click on the Today's Chore Chart link.

You should now be viewing a Screen that looks like the following:

Notice:

• The title is a link back to the main menu
• The Chore Goal, Celebration and Ante are links.  These links popup editors.
• The current week and day is listed.  This is especially important for a Late Check In. There is also a button or buttons to take back or forwards one day.
• There is a place where you can insert lines.  This is where you will put new chores.
• The days go from Monday to Monday.  This is so Bonus Chores can be assigned on the next Monday
• The day of the week is highlighted in Red.  The following day (for assigning bonus chores) is highlighted in green.
• At the bottom is an Update button.  When everything is checked off, click on this to update the score.

Entering an Individual Goal, Celebration and Ante

The first task in setting up a chore chart is to set these.  You have to set your Goal before you can enter chores.  To do this click on the appropriate link and a popup will display.

You can type in your own text or select from the suggestions.  Click on the Submit New Goal button to update the chore chart.  

Note: Occasionally with Internet Explorer the following alert will appear:

The proper response is to click the Retry button.  

The Celebration and Ante are completed in exactly the same way as the Chore Goal.

Entering Chores

On the grey bar (in the Chore Logger Page) that has the days listed there is a Insert button.  Select the number of chores you wish to add (up to 5) and click the button.  The following page will load:

Current Chores will be listed in the left most column.

Suggested Chores can be picked from the age group.  As they are selected they will appear in the New Chores text areas.

New chores can be typed in and an icon can be matched with it by picking it from the list to the right.  As you pick an icon it will display to the right of the select list (see the sink in the screen capture).  

When you are done, click on the Submit New Chores button.

Checking Off a Chore

A working chore chart looks like the following:

The current day is a Monday and its column is highlighted in red.  To check a chore as being complete simply click on the check box under the red column.  After checking all the done chores click the Update button.  Any bonus chores will then have a happy face.
