Details
My Food Program has the ability to record and track review/monitoring visits made by sponsors to sites. There are two ways to enter visits:
- Using the Electronic Visits through the Web App.
- Using a paper-form and scanning it into My Food Program.
This article is about the second method. If you would like to learn about completing visits electronically, view the Help Center article.
To add a new review visit:
- Click on "Visits" on the main site dashboard. This will bring you to a list of recorded visits.
- Click the blue "Add Visit" button in the upper-right corner.
| Field | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Manual/Electronic (required) | Manual or Electronic | Select "Manual" |
| Visit Date (required) | Date picker | |
| Visit Type (required) |
| |
| Visit Announced | Checkbox | Defaults to unannounced |

| Upload Visit Form (optional) | Choose File | You may upload a scan or photograph of your completed form here for document storage. |
| Meal Attendance Count | Text box | Enter the total number of children observed at the meal or snack. Note: Entering a meal attendance count will prevent the site from being able to enter any additional meal counts. In addition, if the meal attendance count entered by the site is more than the meal attendance count entered by the monitor, meals will be disallowed. This should be the total meal counts across all rosters. |
| Menu Food Items | Only displayed if a menu is entered Select Yes or No | The system will pull the recorded infant and non-infant menus for the selected meal onto the screen and the reviewer can certify if the menus match or do not match. Note: If you click “yes” or “no” below, the system will lock down menu editing for this meal. If you click “No”, then the meal will be disallowed with reason: Menu food items differ from those recorded by the field monitor at the time of the visit. |
| Comments | Text Box | |
| Next Visit Due | Date Picker | This date will be pre-filled with a date four months from the date of the current visit, but sponsors may wish to push that date further in the future (if doing review averaging) or sooner (if doing a corrective action follow-up). |
| Reminders for Next Visit | Text Box | |
| Start Date | Date Displayed | This is the original start date. |
| Licensing | Details Displayed | Lists the following information: License Number, Effective Dates, Authority, License Type and License Capacity. |
