Creating Custom Logs
Staff members have the ability to create custom logs. A custom log is defined by the name of the log (e.g. “The 1000•Minute Club”, “Glucose Log”), the units of measurement (e.g. minutes or miles, mg/dl), a Web page featuring a description of the program (“Walk, run or jog each day to collect points toward a prize”) and a mapping from the number of units completed to the number of points earned in the incentive program if applicable (e.g. 1 point per minute). Note that the web page describing the program is entered using Motivation’s built in word processor so the person creating the program does not need any particular training in how to build web pages: it is as simple as using a word processor.
