We have recently added a user’s maximum time, which is the total maximum time allowed across all modes.


In other words, ScreenCoach now has both options for maximum time. 
Whichever is lowest - the user maximum time or the mode maximum time - will be allowed.


For example Bart has:

  • 4 hours maximum time in his user setting on Mondays

  • 8 hours maximum time in his user setting on Saturdays

  • 5 hours maximum time on Fun Mode every day (Monday - Sunday)

So

  • On Monday, Bart’s Maximum will be 4 hours (from the user settings)

  • On Saturday, Bart’s Maximum will be 5 hours (from the Mode’s settings)

    • If using fun mode only



How to change the maximum time set up

  1. For each child, go to the settings

    1. Select the … on the top RHS corner of their user card

    2. Select the allowance tab


    3. Add the Maximum time for each day

      • Note you can copy the value to each day with the copy icon on the right.

  2. For each mode, go to the settings 

    1. Select “modes” from the menu (under admin)


    2. Select one of the modes

    3. Select the Daily limits tab


    4. Change the the button to be “No additional Limits”

      • NOTE: if you have a school mode with a different time multiplier do not do this as it will stop the time multiplier working.
