Bulk Entry of Opportunities

Bulk entry of opportunities allows you to enter percent-correct or interval data for multiple opportunities at once. There are several important things to be aware of when using this feature.

Where do I find it?

There are two ways to access this feature:


1) Find it during a live session by clicking the ellipses found within each target


​When you open this feature, you can input any number between 1 and 100 of correct and incorrect opportunities.

2) Find it when adding to a past session when you click the + data button for a percent correct or interval target.

When you open this feature, you can input any number between 1 and 100 of correct and incorrect opportunities.

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/trial.

  • 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.
