Setting up your team’s writing style, educational philosophy, and framework preferences in Mana helps ensure consistency across all documentation. Follow the video / step-by-step guide below to configure your team settings.
1. Access Team Settings
Click on your Profile icon (top-right corner).
Select Team Settings from the dropdown menu.
2. Set the Writing Style
Mana allows you to define a default writing style that reflects the tone and structure of your service’s documentation.
Under Capabilities, find Writing Style.
Click Edit.
Paste in a sample learning story or documentation excerpt that best represents the style you want your team to follow.
This writing style will now guide all auto-generated documentation across your team.
3. Define Your Service Philosophy
Your team’s educational philosophy can also be embedded into Mana’s documentation flow.
In the Philosophy section, click Edit.
Select Custom.
Enter your service’s philosophy.
This will ensure your values and approach are reflected in every learning story, report, and observation.
4. Choose a Learning Framework
Go to the Frameworks section.
Choose the appropriate national or regional framework for your service:
Note: The EYLF is included in VELDYF and QKLG, so you do not need to select EYLF as well, it will automatically apply to children under 3 years.
For example, selecting QKLG for long daycare will apply to children over 3 and EYLF will apply automatically to children under 3 if relevant.
You can select just one if it covers all age groups for your service.
5. Set Your Service Type
In the Service Type section, select the one that best applies to your organisation.
