Confirm or decline for children

What is this?

As a linked parent, you respond to events for your children just as you do for yourself. The only difference is a small window: Who do you want to respond for?

How to respond for your children

1. Open the event on the web under Events or in the app in the Events area.
2. Tap Confirm, Decline or Maybe.
3. Choose the people in the window. It shows a checkbox for you ("Myself") and one for each of your children who can see the event, each with their current status. On the web you can still switch the response there.
4. Click "Save" (in the app, tap the response). It applies to all ticked people at once.

At the Friday event, Petra ticks Lina and Jonas and confirms. Both are listed as attending in the participant list.

Reason for declining

If the choir requires a reason for declining, you enter it in the same window. It applies to all ticked people. If you want a different reason for Lina than for Jonas, respond twice.

Rules apply per person

All rules of the event apply to your children just as they do to you:

• Response deadline: after it has passed, no response is possible for children either.
• Participant limit: if only two places are left and you confirm for three people, one person gets "no more places". The other responses stay saved.
• Events that have started: once the event has begun, no response is possible any more.

You see the result per name, not as a whole.

When the child responds themselves

Lina (12) has her own login and can change her response herself at any time. Then the last change counts. The attendance history shows both entries, with Petra's response marked "Changed by: Petra Müller" and "via parent link". The participant list itself has no marking.

When the window appears

The window only appears for events of choirs in which you have linked children. In all other choirs you respond as usual.

For events shared by several choirs, it is enough if you and the child are together in one of them.

If you only see an event because of your child (note "visible because of …"), "Myself" is missing from the window: there you only respond for the child.

Good to know

• Your children's open responses are counted on your start page, so you do not miss anything.
• Comments under the event are always written under your own name, not as your child.
• Two parents may both respond. The last change counts.
