Mobile App: Momentary Time Sample (MTS) Setting
- Meredith Ouimette
New Setting Option! When collecting Momentary TIme Sample data for skills and behaviors, you will now have the option to change the default response to intervals without data entered. When you receive the notification that the interval has ended, this is the default if no response is entered. The default will be set to cancel but can be changed at the settings tab or at the individual program level for both skills and behaviors.

Details of Interval Data after Syncing in View data | With the MTS no response default setting, based on the setting used on the mobile app, Y, N, or C will be applied to the interval when synced and graphed. Y, the intervals will be shown as yes, the behavior occurred. N, the intervals will be shown as no, the behavior did not occur. C, the intervals will be discarded. Example:
