App: Use the Activity feed

The Activity feed is where the app opens. It lists your learner’s button presses and your journal entries, with the newest at the bottom. With FluentPet Connect, every press appears in the feed automatically.

The Activity feed in the FluentPet app, with the Default presser switch at the top and a list of button presses, each assigned to a learner and a teacher.

The Default presser switch at the top decides who new presses from your Bases are assigned to:

  • the learner icon assigns them to the default learner;
  • ? leaves them unassigned, so you can assign them later;
  • the teacher icon assigns them to the default teacher.

You choose the default learner and teacher for each Base in Base details. See App: Manage Bases and Buttons in the Hardware tab. The switch only appears when your household has a Base. If you pick the learner or teacher icon and a Base has no default learner or teacher yet, the app asks “Set a default learner?” or “Set a default teacher?”. Tap Set now to choose one in Base details, or Later to leave it. If your household has no learner yet, the app offers to add one (Add now).

Tap the filter icon at the right end of the bar below the title to open Activity filters. You can filter by:

  • Search
  • Buttons
  • Timeframe, with From and To dates
  • Household members, including Unassigned presses
  • Context
  • Reactions
  • Bases
  • More filters: show or hide notes, show or hide entries with notes, and show single-button or multi-button presses

A section shows Deselect all once you change it. Tap Apply to filter the feed, or Reset all to clear every filter. The number after Reset all shows how many filters are on.

The Activity filters screen in the FluentPet app, with the Search, Buttons, Timeframe, Household members, Context, Reactions, Bases and More filters sections, and the Reset all and Apply buttons.

Tap + at the top right of the feed:

  • Tap Log event to log a press by hand, for example a missed press or a press on a Speak Up! Button.
  • Tap Add note to add a journal entry.

Tap an entry to open Event details. There you can change the time of the event, tap Note to add a note, and, if a learner pressed, tap Context to label the press. For a teacher’s press, tap Learners involved to choose the learners the press was for. It shows when your household has active learners. Tap the picture to change who pressed, or the buttons to change them. Tap Save to keep your changes.

Long-press an entry to open its menu. For a press, the menu offers:

  • Assign to teacher and Assign to learner (or Assign to followed by the name, when there is only one teacher, or only one learner, to choose from). The list leaves out whoever the press is assigned to;
  • Split, which splits an entry with several buttons into separate presses. It appears for entries recorded by a Base, and for entries that were split before;
  • Duplicate;
  • Share (not for unassigned presses);
  • Select, to select several entries (see below);
  • Unassign (only for assigned presses);
  • Delete.

For a journal entry, the menu offers Select and Delete.

When you long-press an assigned press, a row of reactions appears above the menu: ❤️, 🤡, 💩 and 🐢. Tap one to add it to the press. Tap the same reaction again to remove it. To find presses with a reaction, use the Reactions filter.

  1. Long-press an entry and tap Select.
  2. Tap more entries to add them to the selection.
  3. Use the bar at the bottom of the screen:
    • Merge combines the entries into one. It needs at least two entries.
    • Assign assigns them to a teacher or learner.
    • Delete deletes them.

Merge and Assign are not available when the selection includes a journal entry. Tap Cancel at the top right to stop selecting.
