We do not currently place any storage space limits on our accounts.

We can increase or decrease our storage capacity very rapidly as demand changes, so we do not expect this to be a problem in the near term.

You can upload videos of up to 10 minutes or as large as 5GB.

It is also possible for you to upload files such as Word, PowerPoint, PDF and Excel sheets to Documents, Observations, Reflections, Activities and Memos.

You can do this by assigning children to staff as their key children, which adding key children to staff tutorial demonstrates, and then setting it so staff can only see their key children. The restricting staff to only seeing their key children tutorial explains how to do the latter.

Remember that it is not possible to apply restrictions to managers. If you are a manager and wish to only see your key children, you can set your own preferences to just see your key children by following the setting page filter defaults tutorial.

Alternatively, if you are happy for staff to have the choice you could add manual groups to your account, put the staff member’s name in the title of the group and then add the children to that. This would mean when staff were adding observations, they could select children from their group, or they could select the whole group.

This tutorial explains how to add manual groups to your account.

Reflections on Tapestry allows you to communicate with staff within your setting, giving you a place to share thoughts, ideas and actions.

It can be enabled on your account for no extra charge; take a look at the Reflections page for more information.

Information about children such as their names and DOBs can be exported by a manager from the Manage Children section on the Control Panel.

Several of the monitoring screens on Tapestry also have the option to be able to export data from them as a CSV. If this option is available for a screen, you will see a ‘CSV’ button on the top right of the actual monitoring section of the screen.

Yes, it is possible to do this using Tapestry via the Memos, Documents, or Observations features.

With all three you can upload Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files. Memos might be the best one to use if you’d like to send messages with news and updates to all of just a group of parents and carers, but you can use whichever works best for you.

Relatives can only access documents that have been specifically shared with relatives. Please note that this is a blanket setting, so it’s not currently possible to make specific documents available only to some relatives. Please be aware of this when choosing whether or not to make a document visible to relatives.

Yes, you can upload Word, PDF, PowerPoint and Excel files to observations on Tapestry. They will be scanned by antivirus software when uploaded.

You can upload files just like you would upload photos and videos – from the ‘media’ section.

Yes, you can. There are a variety of relative user permissions available on Tapestry. You can find out more about them and adjust the permissions on your account by following the setting permissions for relatives tutorial.

It is possible to allow relatives to add their own observations on your account. Whether you allow this or not is up to you.

To allow them to add observations and check your other permissions surrounding relatives and observations e.g. allowing them to comment and visibility of other relative’s observations, have a look at the setting permissions for relatives tutorial.
