Libraries: How to enable and use the updated web logging form for libraries

Tags: Logging, Admins, Setup, Web, Libraries

The new web form seeks to improve your logging experience, including:

• A responsively-sized form to fit most computer screens.
• Families with many reader profiles logging for multiple readers at one time.
• Selecting from your 3 most recently logged titles when logging, reducing search time.
• Using a separate “Complete Activity” button that lets you work on activities more quickly and easily.

Using the updated form

When logged into the reader view of your school site:

1. Log into the reader view of your schools site.
2. Near the top-left, click either of the following:
   • “Complete Activity”: This separate button brings up all the activities from your enrolled challenges, all in one place for you to complete quickly and easily. 
   • “Log Reading”: This new form still retains key functionality, like scanning an ISBN or logging with the timer, but it's designed to fit within all standard computer screens, eliminating the need for scrolling.
