Active Session Interface

Session Interface

When a session is active, you have full control over data collection from a single screen.

Note: This documentation refers to “clients” and “students” interchangeably. Your terminology setting determines which term appears in the app.

Top Bar

The top bar shows key information and controls:

• Client name - Current client being tracked
• Elapsed time - Session duration, updating in real-time
• View toggle - Switch between tile and list views
• Notes - Add observations during the session
• Stop - End the session and view summary
• More options - Access additional tools

View Modes

Each tracker displays its abbreviation (up to 3 letters) and name. Choose the view that fits how you work.

Tile View (default) - Large cards for easy tapping

• See abbreviation prominently with partial name
• Best when you can quickly identify trackers by abbreviation
• Fits more trackers on screen at once
• Easier to tap during active therapy

List View - Compact rows showing full names

• See complete tracker names without truncation
• Best when you have many similar trackers
• Easier to distinguish trackers with similar abbreviations
• Scroll to see all targets

Tap the view toggle icon in the top bar to switch.

Tab Filtering

Filter visible trackers using the tabs above your tiles:

• All - Show all behaviors and skills
• Behaviors - Show only behavior targets
• Skills - Show only skill acquisition targets

Red dot indicator: When a duration tracker is running, its tab shows a red dot so you can quickly spot if there are active timers.

More Options Menu

Tap the more options icon (⋯) to access additional tools:

• Add Behavior - Create a new behavior or skill tracker mid-session
• Log ABC - Record Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence data (see ABC Data)
• Reorder - Rearrange tile positions

Reorder Tiles

Customize tile layout for your workflow:

1. Tap More Options → Reorder
2. Long-press and drag tiles to new positions
3. Tap Finish reorder to save

Layout is saved per client for future sessions.

Real-Time Notes

Capture observations as they happen without leaving the session.

1. Tap the Notes icon in the top bar
2. Type your observation
3. Notes auto-save with a timestamp

Each note records the exact time it was taken. After the session ends, all timestamped notes appear in the Session Summary where you can review, edit, and compose your final clinical note.

Use notes for:

• Antecedents or triggers you observe
• Environmental factors affecting behavior
• Procedural modifications made during session
• Context for later clinical review

Quick Actions

Long-press to undo - Made a mistake? Long-press any tile to delete the last recorded event. No need to leave the session to fix errors.

Tap to record - Each recording method has its own interaction. See Recording Methods for details on each type.
