View Data Graphing	Based on the calcualtions below for weekly and monthly, the graph displays will shown progress per week or per month. Weekly View Monthly View
Mobile app graphs	Mobile app graphs will not show a monthly or weekly display since they only show the last 5 data points entered for a behavior. All individual session data for behaviors will be displayed the same.	This may be an enhancement brought to the app in the future.
Calculation for Weekly	When using the weekly option to calculate behavior support goals, Sunday through Saturday = 1 week; one week = 7 days Weekly calculation = Total of all data days/ total number of data days Ex. day 1 = 7 times, day 2= 9 times, day 3= 2 times, and day 4= 4 times; 7+ 9 + 2 + 4 = 22 times/4 days = 5.5 times/week Across 7 days, there were 4 days of data, the weekly average for the behavior was 5.5 times/week
Calculation for Monthly	When using the monthly option to calculate behavior support goals, 30 days = 1 month Monthly calculation = Average of all data days / total number of data days Ex. 80% (day 1) + 20% (day 2) + 40% (day 3) + 80% (day 4) + 80% (day 5) + 90% (day 6) + 40% (day 7)+ 90% (day 8) + 80% (day 9) + 80% (day 10) =680/10 (average of all days with data)/(total data days) = 68% Across 30 days, there were 10 days of data, the monthly average for the behavior was 68%
