Mobile App Settings Explained.

Settings for the Mobile App are device specific which means any setting made is specific to the device even if multiple users use the device for data collection. See each section below for different types of settings permitted for the app regarding data collection.

Target Settings

When collecting data on the mobile app, you have the option to choose whether you want ALL TARGETS or the FIRST TARGET preselected as the default in the app via the app settings. The setting only has to be changed one time (per device) and then the default is saved. If you need to change the default target settings, make this change prior to starting your session. Once the skills and behaviors are downloaded the target selection setting default is locked, for that session. The setting change applies to online and offline utilization.

Interval and Chime Settings

When collecting Interval data for skills and behaviors on the mobile app, you have two settings to select:

  • Default placement of timer

  • Auditory chime

Interval Placement: Users can choose to begin the interval timer in the start or stop position once a program is opened for data collection. If users select the STOP position, a green play button would need to be pressed once the user wants the interval to begin. If it begins in the START position the interval will begin once a program is opened for data collection. This is an option for both skills and behaviors.

Auditory Chime: Users can select whether or not they want an auditory chime to occur on their device at the end of a skills and/or behavior interval.

Note: These settings are per device

 

Additional note: With interval data collection (Partial Interval, Whole Interval, Momentary Time Sample) for skills and behavior programs, you can start/stop the interval timer one or more times during the sessions.

To start the interval timer because it began in the stop position as a setting, press the green start button. To reset/stop the timer, press the reset button

When using the start/reset the final calculation will be accurately reflected after syncing your data. Click here to view the calculation rules of interval data collection with the start/reset option.

Momentary Time Sample (MTS) Setting

When collecting Momentary Time Sample data for skills and behaviors, you have the option to change the default response to intervals without data entered. When you receive the notification that the interval has ended, and no response is entered you have the option to have those intervals automatically scored as Y (Yes, the behavior occurred), N (No, the behavior did not occur), or C (Cancel/discard the interval). The default will be set to C (Cancel/discard the interval), but can be changed in the settings tab or at the individual program level for both skills and behaviors.

To change the default response for intervals without data entered at the program level, go to the program you wish to edit, then choose the desired default response.

Intervention/Teaching

Please note that the MTS default setting will be locked once the timer has started at the individual skill or behavior program. You can change the default MTS setting at any point, for future intervals, if the timer is turned on.

Opportunity Based Settings

For Skills and Behavior opportunity based programs you have the option to enter trial-by-trial data or the overall percentage for all trials.
