Household: Add and edit teachers and learners

The Household tab lists the members of your household: teachers (people) and learners (animals). Members let you record who pressed a button. Each member shows a count of their presses. Every member of a shared household can add, edit and archive learners and teachers, and there is no limit on the number of learners or members.

• Tap a member’s picture to see their activity.
• Tap a member’s name to edit them.

Add a member

1. In the Household tab, tap Add a member.
2. Tap Add teacher or Add learner.
3. Follow the steps in the app:
   • For a learner, enter the learner’s name, choose the species (Dog, Cat or Other) and the learner’s sex, and add a photo if you like.
   • For a teacher, enter the teacher’s name and add a photo if you like.

Names are unique within a household, archived members included. If the name is already used, the app shows “This Household Member name has already been taken. Please choose a different one.” Creating a learner with an archived learner’s name brings the archived learner back with their history.

Edit a member

1. In the Household tab, tap the member’s name.
2. On Edit member, change the details.
3. Tap Save learner or Save teacher.

The Edit member screen has these fields:

• Upload Photo: add or change the member’s photo. To remove it, long-press the photo and choose Remove photo.
• Name: required.
• For a learner:
  • Species: required.
  • Teaching start date.
  • Under Show advanced settings: Kind of the species, Breed, Research participant ID, Learner language (you can select multiple languages) and Learner birth date.
• For a teacher:
  • Country.
  • Email: filled in only for the teacher entry that was created automatically for the account that set up the household, and not editable here. For that entry, a status line says whether the person has not been invited yet, has a pending invitation, or is a confirmed member of your household.

To invite a teacher, see Household: Invite another teacher.

Archive or unarchive a member

Learners and teachers cannot be deleted. Instead, archive a member you no longer use, for example a learner who is no longer with you. Archiving keeps all of the member’s press history. It hides them from the Household list, removes them as a default presser and hides them from the public profile.

1. In the Household tab, tap the member’s name.
2. On Edit member, tap the three-dot menu icon at the top right.
3. Tap Archive.

To see archived members, tap the three-dot menu icon at the top right of the Household tab, then tap Show archived. To bring a member back, open the archived member, tap the three-dot menu icon and tap Unarchive.
