When to use this article

Use this walkthrough to create, edit, or delete tasks in ParensUP from the adult/guardian login.

Tasks: create, edit, and delete

In ParensUP, the guardian can create tasks manually, use ready suggestions, edit existing tasks, and delete one or several tasks from the routine.

Part 1

Create a task

You can create a new task from two paths: from the Home tab (in Quick actions) or from the Tasks tab.

Sign in to your guardian account

On your phone, open the ParensUP app and sign in with your adult/guardian login.

Choose where to create the task

You can follow one of these paths:

Choose one of the paths below

From the Home tab

Tap [Home]. In [Quick actions], tap [Create task].

From the Tasks tab

Use a suggestion

Opens a list of suggested tasks. The form comes pre-filled, but you can adjust before creating.

Opens a blank form for you to configure the task manually.

Fill in the task data

Fill in the information requested in the app:

Task icon
Task name
Category
Time
Frequency
Reward in points
Reward in symbolic money
Whom the task will be assigned to

In frequency, you can choose between: every day, specific days, monthly, biweekly, or specific date. If there is more than one child in the family, you can assign the same task to more than one child at once.

Tap "Create task"

After reviewing the information, tap Create task.

All set! The task has been created. It will show up in the routine of the selected child or children.

Part 2

Tap the task you want to edit

Pick the task you want to change.

The app will open the task's details.

Tap "Edit"

On the task's details screen, tap Edit.

Change the desired information

The form will open with the task's current data.

You can adjust what you need: name, icon, category, time, frequency, reward, and assigned child.

Save the changes

After editing, tap Save.

All set! The task has been updated. The changes will be applied according to the task's configuration.

Option 1

Delete a single task

You can delete a task in two ways — this option deletes a specific task.

From the adult/guardian login, tap Tasks.

Tap the task you want to delete

Pick the task you want to delete.

The app will open the task's details.

Tap "Delete"

On the task's details screen, tap Delete.

Choose how to delete

Select one of the options:

Today only — Deletes only the task for that day.
Today and future — Deletes the task from today onward. Past ones stay in the history.
All — Deletes all occurrences of the task, from when it was created to future ones.

Tap "Confirm"

After choosing the desired option, tap Confirm.

Option 2

Use this option when you want to delete several tasks at the same time.

Open the "Tasks" tab

💡 Tips

The suggested tasks come pre-filled with initial information like name, category, frequency, time, and rewards. Even so, you can adjust anything before creating.
The points and money used in tasks are symbolic. They work as an educational tool to encourage responsibility and organization, but do not represent real money.
Before deleting a task, double-check the chosen option — deleting tasks cannot be undone.
