Lets check the functionality of the app's options!

#### Button: POST TO STEEMIT
<div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaP66wvqEugf5orqrY2KqTHaFFv5evbkZUcRdvxaWsoWW/tut1.gif</div>


.1. **Steemit Username:** You need to fill in your username (without the @) i.e. katerinaramm 

.2. **Steemit Private Posting Key:** You need to fill in the Steemit Private Posting Key (please see at the appendix where to find it) or check out this [short video about how to find your posting key](https://d.tube/#!/v/raserrano/h7rze7he) 
The app does not store your credentials, so in case of an app update you might need to re-enter this information.

Remember: You can post only once per day to be rewarded and there is a minimum activity of 5000 to get rewarded with tokens & steemit upvotes by the @actifit account (please see appendix 2 for all). Make sure that you post before midnight because the count will reset!


.3. **Report Title:** This is by default *My Actifit Report Card: Date* but you can edit it as you wish, with no effects to your rewards

.4. **Full Report Payout in AFIT:** You can tick this option so that your payout will be converted to AFITs. 

By ticking this, you to set a new account that was created for those purposes, @actifit.funds, as the beneficiary of the remaining 90% of the post (already 5% goes to actifit.pay for delegators, and another 5% goes to actifit), so that you will receive 2 rewards:

**.a.** The standard AFIT token rewards at the timing of the upvote, based on the existing reward system.

**.b.** At the time of payout of the post, the amount of SP/SBD earned by the post, will be converted to AFIT tokens, and will be credited to the author. *The calculation will be based on current STEEM price in USD, and SBD price per USD, converted per AFIT discounted offer price per USD.*

The benefit of this is that you are earning more AFIT tokens, which would increase your User Rank, while also earning them at a discounted price.

You can also cancel any time by un-ticking the box.

.5. **Fitbit sync** (only for fitbit users) 
Click to be connected to your device by inputting your credentials.


.6. **Activity Type:** Here you will find activities in alphabetical order. You tick the correspondent box(es) to select your activity. Tap down to see more activities. When you are done with your selection click the 'back button' to exit to the previous screen. ATTENTION: Be honest with your selected activities.

After you post, you will be able to edit your message from steemit (or other) platforms for adding images, editing your text etc.

*Please note*

>Some versions of esteem app still cause issues when used to edit your reports, via removing essential info Actifit uses to identify proper reports. This prevents related reports from receiving rewards. Until this issue is officially fixed via the esteem team, we advise that you use other Steem interfaces for editing, including our own actifit.io, steemit, busy or others.


In case of any problems, find the Team at [discord](https://discord.gg/aHtcA6r) for further support.)

When you select **Fitbit** as your Activity Data Source, a new option appears, where you can click the box for Fetching also the Measurements stored in Fitbit. The **Fetch Steps** is preselected and non-amendable.
