Bulk Entry of Opportunities
Bulk entry of opportunities means you can input percent correct data or interval data en masse. There are several things you should know about this feature:Where do I find it?
There are two ways to access this feature:
- Find it during a live session by clicking the ellipses found within each target

- Find it when adding a past session when you click the + data button for a percent correct or interval target

How does it work?
- When you open this feature, you will input a number of correct and incorrect opportunities.
- You can input any number between 1 and 100.

How does it work with percent-correct data?
- Whether collecting live data or editing past data, inputting bulk opportunities for regular percent correct targets will give the same time stamp for each opportunity.
- When editing past data, regular percent-correct targets will have a suggested time stamp of either
- 1) the last time data was input during the session or
- 2) the start of the session, if no other data were already collected.
- The user can modify the suggested time if needed.

How does it work with interval data?
-
When inputting bulk interval data, Motivity checks if the interval is currently started.
-
If the timer is started, data has already been collected, and the next unentered interval has already expired, Motivity will suggest a timestamp for the next unentered interval that relates to the time of the last interval.
-
If the interval timer was stopped and later restarted, any unentered intervals will now reflect time stamps that relate to when the timer was restarted.
-
If the interval timer has not been started and previously collected data exists, Motivity suggests the time that would have been the next unentered interval.
-
If the timer was never started, Motivity will suggest the first time stamp be the start of the session.
-
- For editing past data, interval target times are suggested the same as the above two bullet points,
- The user can change the suggested time stamp if necessary.
- Whether collecting live data or editing past data, intervals are added relative to the selected time stamp and respect the interval sequence and specified interval duration.
What else?
- In Data Collection, if an opportunity is currently in progress bulk data collection is disabled, and an explanatory message is displayed.

- Automatic transitions are not applied when bulk entries are added, all data is attributed to the phase it was in when the bulk entry was input.
- If your program has a maximum number of opportunities set, you cannot input bulk opportunities greater than that maximum.
