For each 30 minute timeslot, you will first be asked to select where you were from a clearly defined list of options, followed by who you were with and what you were doing. You will need to answer some simple follow up questions and then, finally, tell us how you were feeling at the time. Please note: you cannot complete timeslots before they happen.

When there is at least one entry to fill in, the screen will say ‘Diary Entries to Complete’ and will show as a orange tick. When filling in the diary on your phone, if you see a message saying that you have unsubmitted entries or Unable to Send Data this means you are filling the diary offline, i.e. your phone does not have internet connection. The entries will be submitted the next time your phone connects to the internet. See example below.
IMPORTANT:
If you think you should have entries to catch up on, from the main menu, select ‘Surveys’. If it shows a [1 ] then you do have at least 1 entry to fill in.
7 THE DIARY WHAT QUESTIONS WILL I BE ASKED? Recording your location When asked where you were, you can only select one option on this screen. Please choose the location you were in for the majority of the 30 minute time period. Recording Sleep If you were asleep, you can enter the time you slept until in your diary entry. To select the time you slept until, you may have to move the clock before you can select Next to move on. It’s very important that you check this time is correct before selecting Next. If you do record that you were asleep for a long period (e.g. more than 12 hours) please email/call to inform us, because a diary with too much sleep may be rejected and we cannot send out shopping vouchers for rejected diaries. Recording Activities Every half hour you will be asked the same number of questions to understand what you have been doing. The half hour questions are purposely worded identically in order to track differences that might occur from time to time throughout the day.
Recording Mood For each 30 minute time slot, we will also ask about how you were feeling. The first question uses a scale from 0 to 10 (from bad mood to good mood). Please move the indicator arrow along the scale to show your mood. If your mood remains unchanged, please move the indicator along the scale and then back again; this will allow you to progress to the next screen.
TIP: Scroll down to see all the mood options and please select as many options that apply to how you were feeling. You will then be asked one more question to enable us to get a deeper understanding about how you felt during that half an hour. Please select as many picture(s) that best describes how you felt during that time period. If none of the pictures match how you felt then please select “none of these”.
Once you are familiar with the timeslots, they can be completed in a couple of minutes or less.
8 DIARY COMPLETION
Please ensure you select ALL the activities you have been doing during each half an hour period.
When you have completed 7 full days of diary entries, your diary will be complete.
Even if you are travelling, you will still be asked about the activities you are doing, because you could either be doing them at the same time (e.g. reading a book on the train) or at another time when you were not travelling during that same half an hour.
Your entries into the diary app on your phone are transmitted to us in real time which means as soon as you complete your last time slot and submit it to us, you have fully finished the diary. The screen will show as ‘Diary Complete’.

You can come back to it at any time during the week by clicking on the link in the email we sent you and it will take you back to where you left off.

COMMON QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS TOUCHPOINTS DIARY APP How do I find my email address / username to log into the diary app?
I don’t know how to connect the phone to my home Wi-Fi connection
Your email address for registering on the diary is not your own email address but your unique serial number (1 letter + 5 digits + 1 letter) found on the label of the plastic envelope followed by @tp.uk For example:
[email protected]
Firstly, please make a note of your home
Your unique number can also be found on the front of the paper questionnaire and under the address on the letter that came with it (if you have been sent these). The instructions will explain how to enter your username if you are not sure.If this does not work or if you experience any login problems, please contact us. Why do you need me to connect the phone to my home Wi-Fi? In order to receive your diary data, the diary app requires an internet connection to send data back to us. When we spoke to you on the telephone we would have asked you to confirm if you had WiFi access at home. If you did say you had Wi-Fi at home, we mentioned we would need you to connect the phone to your Wi-Fi connection. After connecting your phone to your home Wi-Fi, please be aware if you take the phone out of your home you can still fill in the diary, the data would then be sent to us in real time, once it picks up your home Wi-Fi connection again. If you do have any other concerns about Wi-Fi i or how to connect it to your Wi-Fi, please refer to the next question or contact us.
Wi-Fi username and password which can be found either on the bottom or back of your router box/Hub which provides the signal for the Wi-Fi. Please see example below. USERNAME: BTHub3-KRXZ PASSWORD: ZRt45nW35 On the phone we sent you, tap on the Settings icon which will then show Wi-Fi at the top of the screen. Tap on the Wi-Fi sign which will then bring up a few Wifi connections in your area. Locate and then tap on your home Wi-Fi conection. It will then ask you to enter in the password details. Wi-Fi passwords are very sensitive with uppercase and lower case letters- see examples below. If your password does have upper or lowercase, please make sure you enter these in as they are shown.

What questions are included for each half an hour timeslot?

The questions are the same for each 30 minute interval. For the purpose of the TouchPoints study, we need you to answer the same short simple questions for each 30 minute period that you are awake over the course of 7 days. The half hour questions are purposely worded identically in order to track differences that might occur from time to time throughout the day.Once you are familiar with the timeslots, they can be accurately completed in a couple of minutes or less. What answers should I select for each question? For most questions, you should click as many items as applied at any time during that half hour. It is not unusual to have multiple items checked for many of the questions. Do I have to fill it in every half an hour? You don’t literally have to access the diary in every half an hour but at some point you will need to catch up if you fall behind by a few hours. The reminder notifications are in place to help you catch up on your diary entries at least twice during the day. Times when you are sleeping can be recorded in blocks rather than half hour by half hour.
COMMON QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS TOUCHPOINTS DIARY APP How do I move on to the next screen within a timeslot?
How do I know when I am finished?
You should see a 'Next' button to select or touch in order to move on to the next screen. This will be located at the bottom of the screen (on the right side)
After completing your entries up to midnight on the seventh day, a message will appear on screen to notify you that the diary has been completed.

The time for each slot, will show at the top of the diary screen. Please try not to fall too far behind. If you are not able to catch up the time slots that you have missed then please contact us using the details below. The diary doesn’t appear to be working.
