# Making a Step or Wellness Entry

Learn to log your activity manually, convert exercises into steps, and record wellness metrics like sleep, water, or mood.

Be Well lets you log your activity manually, convert exercises into steps, and record wellness metrics like sleep, water, or mood. Whether you're on the web or the mobile app, this guide walks you through creating an entry and managing your privacy for each one.

Manual step entry is only available if your health or fitness account **is not** synced with Be Well. If you have a device synced, your steps are recorded automatically and the manual step field will be unavailable. Activity conversions, wellness metrics, journal entries, and photos can be logged regardless of your sync status.

### On the Web (Browser)

#### Add a manual step or convert an activity

1.  From the **My Dashboard** tab, select **Add An Entry** in the top-right corner.
2.  Select **Activities.**
3.  If your program allows manual entry and you don't have a device synced, enter your steps in the **Steps** field.
4.  To convert an activity, use the dropdown to select the activity, enter the number of minutes you spent on it, and select **Convert.**
5.  Select **Save.**

#### Add a journal entry or photo

1.  From the **My Dashboard** tab, select **Add An Entry** in the top-right corner.
2.  Select **Photo** to add a photo, or **Journal** to add a written entry.
3.  Set who can see the post using the visibility dropdown on the right. Posts set to **Anyone** or **Friends Only** appear in the Newsfeed on the Sitewide page and on your public profile.
4.  Select **Save.**

#### Add a wellness metric

1.  Select any of the available wellness metrics.
2.  Complete the entry and select **Save.**

Wellness metrics are **always private.** Other members and program admins cannot see these entries. Admins can run a report showing *whether* you made an entry, but never the value you recorded.

### On the Mobile App

From the mobile app you can log an activity (converted to steps), record a wellness metric (sleep, nutrition, water, weight, mindfulness, mood, or heart rate), add a photo, or write a journal post.

1.  From the **Home** tab, select the blue **+** icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
2.  Select the type of entry you'd like to make.
3.  Follow the prompts to complete your entry.
4.  You can include a post with your entry. If you'd rather not, skip to the next step.
5.  Select **Submit.**

Each metric is saved as you enter it and appears in your activity log, marked with an icon for its entry type.

#### Privacy settings on mobile

Set your visibility using the **eye icon** in the top-right of the screen:

-   **Wellness metrics** (nutrition, water, heart rate, sleep, weight, mood, mindfulness) default to **private.**
-   **Posts** default to **public** and can be changed.
-   **Step entries and converted activities** are always **public,** to maintain accountability throughout the program.
