What is manual activity entry?

Manual activity entry allows you to add activities with optional accompanying steps, distance, and active minutes totals into your Wellbeing+ account. Data added through manual activity entry will be combined with any device data synced for the day.

⚠️ Please note: It is up to your challenge admin to enable manual activity entry. If you do not see the option to add activity, it is not allowed for your challenge.

Why use manual activity entry?

  • Don’t have a device, or your current device/pedometer doesn’t integrate with Wellbeing+? You can use manual activity entry to add your data to your account to join in on the fun!

  • Forget to wear your fitness tracker during a workout? You can use manual activity entry to add in your workout data while continuing to sync data from your connected device.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Entries can be logged for up to 7 days (the current day and the previous 6 days). Please make sure you enter totals regularly. We recommend entering totals once a day to maintain the most up-to-date stats in your challenge.

  • Each entry should be logged individually on the specific day it was performed. Do not add in data for multiple days under one entry. This will throw off challenge stats.

  • Grace period rules always apply. Once a challenge ends, all scoring is final and challenge stats can no longer be updated. Any entries added or removed after your challenge ends will save to your Wellbeing+ account but will not update in your challenge.

  • Manual activity entries are added to any device data synced for the day. Syncing from your device will not be interrupted if you add a manual activity entry during the day, but totals between your device and Wellbeing+ will no longer match due to the additional data logged in Wellbeing+.
