My Daysi Family App

The first user you create in the Daysi Family App automatically becomes the administrator of the Family App and therefore – among other things, also is the user who creates the rest of the family members as users in the system.

To create your Family and your Family Administrator you should do the following:

– Open the Daysi Family App on your phone.
– Click Sign-Up at the bottom of the screen
– Fill in the different fields and if you feel like it you can choose an image to be associated with your user (this can easily be changed later)
– Click Create and then your Daysi Family and first user will be created.

The App will then open and you can now create the rest of your family as users in the App.
You will also be asked to confirm that the App is welcome to send Push notifications – this function is used i.a. when other family members book you for an appointment – so you get a notification on the phone.

In our Freemium Version you can create up to 4 Family members and once they are created the last thing to do is just to install the App on their phone.
To create a Family Member please do the following: 

– Open the Menu and select the item Family Members
– Click on the “+” icon below.
– Fill in the individual fields with the relevant information and then click on Create.

This is only information that you need to enter to create a new Family Member.

There are other configuration parameters that can be configured for a Family Member, these fields are configured with default values. You can change them at any time. 

Once the Family Member is created, an email is sent with the login information and after the App is downloaded to the phone, the Family Member can log in to the Daysi Family App.

Pleaswe view this short Video Guide on how to create a Family Member:  Create Family Members

If a family member does not have an E-mail address, this user simply needs to be created by name (and not an e-mail). Creating this type of family member is done in much the same way as when creating a “regular” user:

To create a family member without an email address, follow these steps:

– Click on the Menu icon in the upper left corner,
– Then click on Family Members
– Click on the “+” icon below.
– Fill in the individual fields with relevant information.
– In the field E-mail / Username you just write the name that the user should have.
– Then click Create.

The following text then appears on the screen:

The user you are trying to create does not have an email but only a username. For the user to be able to log in to a device, you must first log in as an administrator, and then log out again. Then the user can log in without email. Do you still want to create the user without an email address?

The first time the user without an E-mail address will log in to the Daysi App you should do as follows:  

– Log-in as an administrator on the phone
– Log-out again.
– Log in with the user – ie. the name and password that you just created.
– The user is now ready to use the App.

This way you can create users in the Daysi Family App who do not have an email address.

Once the Daysi App is downloaded from AppStore or GooglePlay, you’re ready to go.

– Open the App by clicking on the Daysi Icon
– The first time you use the App, you must log in with Username and Password that the Family Administrator has created.
– When you use the App subsequently, you do not need to login – even if you close the App.

You can receive a new Password if you forget the Password, and need to login again.
