# Customising Affirmations

This feature is all about reinforcing positive thinking and boosting student self-esteem. During these check-ins, students receive encouraging affirmations designed to uplift their mood and foster a positive mindset.

Within Class & School settings we allow for full customisation of affirmations.

Affirmations can be configured to either capture emojis representing an affirmation or a custom Survey can be used.

### Using Emojis

| Field                     | Description                                                             |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Affirmation Question Text | Change the prompt shown to learners when registering their affirmations |
| Free Text Affirmations    | Allow Learners to enter their own affirmations                          |
| Number of Affirmations    | The number of affirmations each learner should record each time         |
| Affirmations              | See below                                                               |

Affirmation options can be configured in a similar way to Zones.

You can add and remove options using the Affirmations section at the bottom of the screen.

### Using Surveys

Selected "Survey" from the dropdown allows you to configure a Survey response to an affirmation checkin. This allows for a far greater level of detail/customisations for your affirmation check-ins.
