Getting Started
Getting Started on Scallyroo...

There are many amazing features on Scallyroo that are designed to keep you connected with your friends and family. To get started, we recommend you follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a Scallyroo Wish List
When you go to your Wish List page, you will find several default Wish List's already set up to help get you started. Simply click on them to add your favorite items and begin building your lists. You also have the ability to create a new wish list for any event in your life or create them just for fun.

step1 Whether it's for your birthday, holiday, any special occasion, or simply to show your friends what you're into, you can use the wish list to express your desires to friends and family. Not only will the Wish List take the guesswork out of gift giving, and give you a better chance to get what you really want, it allows you to express your personality and receive feedback for the items you add.


Once you add items to your lists, you can send your entire wish list or a particular item that you find to all your family and friends.

On the main Wish List page you will find a "Rewards" Wish List already created. Think of this list as a shopping bag that you fill up with the things you want for completing your goals. When you set a goal with your family and friends, you will have the chance to attach these rewards for completing your goal during the Create New Goal process. See step 2 for more information on Setting Goals and Earning Rewards.

To get started, click on the Wish List button in the blue navigation bar. From there you will be able to build your default wish lists, create an entirely new wish list, search for and add as many items as you like, save your list and/or share it with others. It's that simple!

Step 2: Set Goals and Earn Rewards

Scallyroo offers you a way to set goals with other people (family, friends etc.) and be rewarded when that goal has been reached.

How many times have you been asked to do a chore around the house and promised a reward for doing so? And how many times have you been challenged to do well in something (like school) and promised some sort of incentive or prize?

Scallyroo presents a way for you to create these types of Goal Contracts with your family and friends and be rewarded once you've successfully achieved the goal. As an example, you can create a contract with your parents that states:

"If I get an A in Math this Semester, I would like an IPOD"

If you achieve an A in Math by semesters end, your parents will be encouraged to purchase the IPOD from your Wish List, all through a few simple clicks from an email they receive.

This is a very simple and easy to use process. You complete a goal; you get rewarded.

You can set the goal, the date you expect the goal to be completed, the reward you want for completing that goal, and the person you want to send the Goal Contract to (parents, friends, relatives etc.).

You can also track that goal until it's achieved through the Scallyroo Task Manager and Calendar.

In order to start setting goals and begin earning rewards, we recommend you first fill up your Rewards Wish List. When satisfied, simply click on the Goals button in the blue navigation, and then click on the "Create New Goal" button. You will be asked to fill out information about the goal (Goal name, Dates, Reward, and Goal Recipients Email Address). It's that easy!

Once your goal has been created, an email is sent to the goal recipient. From there, you and the recipient can track your progress until the goal has been completed.


Step 3: Manage Your Busy Life and Share Events

Your Social Calendar will act as a nerve center for all things Scallyroo. You can manage your social life, your schoolwork, your goals - really any event through this calendar. More importantly, you can share all these events with not only your friends on Scallyroo, but with anyone with a working email address.

The calendar enables you to keep track of your busy life and bridges your connection to those you care about.



The foremost attribute of the Calendar is this share feature. If you share an event with friends like a "study session for a test" or for "a pool party," your friends can have this event seamlessly added to their calendar with the click of a button.

Not only can you share events with others, you can see their replies to your event invitations. The calendar allows event recipients to RSVP (respond) to your event so you can better manage the event and keep track of those that will be joining you. To use the example of a "Pool Party" above, once you share this event with your friends, they will be able to reply with their status (if they are coming or not). You will be able to track their responses and have a better idea of who to expect at the party.

Managing your goals is also cinch with the Calendar. You will be able to easily keep track tasks, due dates, and rewards using the calendar view you find most comfortable. Your profile page will give you an update of your daily tasks, and the main calendar page will give you a broad monthly overview of all that you have going on.

To begin managing your busy life, you can begin adding events directly from your Profile page, or you can check out the main Calendar page by clicking the "Calendar" button in the blue navigation bar. Once you begin to get comfortable, start managing and sharing events with your friends and family. The more events you share with others, the more useful the calendar will be for you.
