1. Complete the parameters for the selected activity. These vary based on the activity chosen. Activities are listed as verbs. When filling out activity parameters, in all cases, except fasting and sleep activities, the title should begin with a lowercase letter as it completes the rest of the verb's sentence.

Parameter options depend on the activity chosen, but you can customize the following for all activities:

• Completion Time (estimated time for subject to complete activity)
• Time of Day - suggested time the activity is performed (select from Anytime, Morning, Afternoon, or Evening)
• Toggle Include Description and/or Deep Link to add rich content to the activity (optional). Click here for more info on this.

1. Click Create. You'll now see your activity listed on your Course page.

Activity Details

Some activities already have deep links tying them to pillars. These include: Consume, Fast, Sleep, and Practice.

note

The order of activities within the Courses screen dictates the order the user sees in their Today tile in the mobile app. The only activity not impacted by reordering is the Motivate activity, which is always placed at the top of the Today tile. Use Course Tools to change activity ordering.

For the fasting and sleep activities, the activity's verbiage auto-populates and includes the duration you set in the parameters. Anything entered into the title for these two activities appears as a second line. For example, if you select the fasting activity, set the duration to 16 hours and leave the title blank, the activity in the Today Tile of the mobile app reads "Fast for 16 hours." But if you'd added "Fasting while sleeping counts toward your total fasting hours" in the title field of the activity parameters, it would appear as a separate sentence below "Fast for 16 hours."

Once you've added a title for an activity, the next time you add that activity to your course and begin typing the title name, it autofills the name for convenience.

Deep Link and Rich Content

Some activities can be toggled to add rich content to their activity.

To configure rich content for an activity:

1. Click the toggle for Include Description.
2. In the window that opens, provide a description and add the supporting media (by adding a link to an image, audio, or video). This is displayed on the Today tile of the mobile app for that activity.
3. Toggle on Deep Link and specify the target to link to (optional).
4. Click Create after setting the parameters.

Click to Open List of Targets:

• Applet (applet from the mobile app marketplace):

  • Anxiety Severity Assessment
  • Aspirational Photo
  • BMR Calculator
  • Balance Assessment
  • Blood Biomarker Document Upload
  • Blood Biomarker Test

• Nutrition (the mobile app pillar)

• Sleep (the mobile app Pillar)

• URL

The difference between using a YouTube URL in a Watch activity type versus including it as a rich content is that the Watch activity YouTube URL launches the mobile app video player, where the rich content video link plays the video in a small dialog box that shows the Today tile in the background.

Beyond the activity verb and object (Title) that is displayed on the Today tile in the mobile app, an activity with rich content presents a modal to the user when tapped. Text (defined by the description) and image, audio, or video (defined by media URL) are visible as well as an optional button (defined by the deep link). For example, you can deep link to an applet (such as the Grip Strength Assessment applet) and then select from a list which applet you want to direct the user.

Course Tools

Use course tools to easily customize your program. Move any activity around by grabbing the handle on the left and dragging it to a new location within the program. Course tools are accessed by clicking on the three dots on the right side of the activity. The tools available vary depending on the selected activity.

Possible tools include:

• Preview external link - Preview an article or video
• Duplicate - Creates a copy of an activity which can then be moved to other days or edited
• Edit - Change the parameters of the activity
• Move - Click this, then specify the day you wish to move the activity to, then click Accept
• Delete - Removes the activity
• Listen to audio - Hear the audio clip assigned
• Preview quote - Click the icon to view the quote selected

Multi-Select Feature

Click the multi-select arrow in the top left of the day to enable multi-selection.

After clicking the multi-select arrow, the interface changes to allow you to select multiple activities by clicking the box to the left of the activities. You can also select the box in the upper left of the day to select the entire day. Click the copy button to duplicate all the selected activites and replicate them in the same day.

tip

You can also multi-select more than one activity and then drag them together to a different day.
