Goals and Challenges - How To Log Habit Activites, Manual Activities and Converted Activities

Overview

Learn how to log daily habit activities, manual activities, and converted activities. Step-by-step instructions are given to show how to log activities for Goals and Challenges in the Engage App. This article is designed for clients and members.

Activities to Log in Goals & Challenges

There are three types of activities you can log:

• Manual Activities
• Converted Activities
• Daily habit Activities

It is up to your challenge admin to enable the option to log manual activities and converted activities. If you do not see the option to add these activities, it is not allowed for your challenge. Daily habit activities are determined by challenge creators as part of daily habit challenges. You need to be participating in a daily habit challenge to see the option to log these activities.

To maintain accurate challenge scores, we recommend updating the activities you've completed daily. If you forget to log an activity, you'll be able to log within the past 7 days if needed. Learn more about logging each type of activity below.

Logging Manual Activities

Manual activity entry allows you to add activities with optional accompanying steps, distance, and active minutes totals into your account. Data added through manual activity entry will be combined with any device data synced for the day. You can also choose to enter a manual activity without any associated activity data.

Note: Your challenge admin must enable manual activity entry. If you do not see the option to add manual activities, it is not allowed for your challenge.

Logging Manual Activities from the Mobile App

1. From your dashboard, select the Add activity + button in the daily activity card.
2. Select the Add Manual activity button or select a recent manual activity to log.

3. Enter your activity name, optional associated steps, distance, and/or active minutes totals, and select the corresponding date. By default, the date will be set to today.

4. Select Review and then select Save activity to save your entry to your account.
5. Once your activity has been added, you’ll see a confirmation at the bottom of your screen confirming that your activity has been saved!

Logging Converted Activities

The activity converter allows you to convert time spent performing common activities (cycling, yoga, pilates, etc.) into steps and distance straight from the Engage mobile app. Data added through converted activities will be combined with any device data synced for the day.

Note: Your challenge admin must enable the activity converter. If you do not see the option to add converted activities, it is not allowed for your challenge.

Logging Converted Activities from the Mobile App

1. From your dashboard, select the Add activity + button in the daily activity card.
2. Select the Convert activity button or select a recent converted activity to log.

3. Choose your activity, select your activity duration, and select the corresponding date. By default, the date will be set to today.
4. Select Convert activity to review the converted totals.
5. When reviewing the conversion, you have the option to select which metrics you want added to your daily activity. You can choose to add 1, 2, or all 3 metrics, depending on what your device has already credited you for. Simply check the metric(s) you want added, and then select Save activity to save your entry to your account:
