# 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

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.
