How to create custom activities
Open your child's card, go to the Settings tab, choose Potty or Habits, tap Add New Activity, then enter a name, pick an emoji, and tap Save. Creating custom activities needs Premium.
Custom activities let you track anything Potty Whiz doesn't include. For example, there's no built-in diaper change, so you can add a "Diaper Change" or "Pull-Up Change" activity to track diapers and pull-ups alongside potty trips. You could also track wearing underwear all day, or waking up with a dry pull-up. Creating custom activities needs Premium. Turning activities on or off and changing their order is free.
Create a custom activity
- On the dashboard, tap your child's card.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Choose Potty or Habits, depending on where you want the activity to appear.
- Tap Add New Activity.
- Enter an Activity Name, such as "Diaper Change".
- Tap the round icon to choose an emoji.
- Check Celebrate if you want a celebration animation each time it's logged.
- Tap Save.
The new activity is switched on and added to the end of the list.
Track diaper or pull-up changes
Potty Whiz has no built-in diaper change, so add one as a custom activity:
- Create a custom activity named "Diaper Change" or "Pull-Up Change", as above, under Potty so it sits with potty trips.
- Each time you change a diaper or pull-up, tap Activity, choose Potty, and tap it.
Your diaper and pull-up changes then show in the Activities list and calendar with the potty trips.
Which children see it
A custom activity belongs to your account, so it shows for every child in that account. If a child doesn't need it, switch it off on that child's Settings tab.
Log a custom activity
Log it like any other activity: tap Activity, choose Potty or Habits, and tap it. Custom activities have no extra questions, but you can add a Comment, other children, photos and videos. See How to log a potty visit or accident.
Edit or delete a custom activity
- On the child's Settings tab, tap the pencil next to the custom activity.
- Change the name, the icon or Celebrate, then tap Save.
To delete it, tap Delete in the same screen, then tap Yes. The warning reads, for example, "Delete Diaper Change? This will remove associated activities and reminders." Deleting removes every entry and reminder for that activity, for all children in the account. If you only want to stop using it, switch it off instead.
Turn activities on or off and reorder them
These work for built-in and custom activities, and they're free.
- Use the switch next to an activity to show or hide it when you log for this child. Entries you already logged are kept.
- To change the order, press and hold an activity, then drag it up or down. The logging list follows this order.
Troubleshooting
- The upgrade screen opens when I tap Add New Activity: custom activities are part of Premium. See What's free and what's premium in Potty Whiz.
- "Activity Name is required": enter a name before you tap Save.
- My custom activity is missing for one child: open that child's Settings tab and switch it on.
