   *Behavior Name    Behavior Category Goal Name (for Reporting)  Definition  Recording Type  Frequency - How often a behavior occurs, measured as a number of events. Rate - Combines frequency and duration of behavior into a single target. Duration - How long a behavior episode takes place. Momentary Time Sample - Record behavior that is being displayed at a particular moment. Partial Interval -  Define an 'Observe and Record' interval. Do not Zero Out - When this box is left unchecked (default), the system will use the student's general behavior settings. When this box is checked it will override the student's settings and exclude this behavior. To change the student's zero-out behavior settings, visit Setup > Settings > Other.

   
   

   NOTE: Momentary Time Sample and Partial Interval Behaviors have additional settings you will want to address. See the Interval Settings in the Student Settings Subtab article for more information.

Edit a Behavior

Once a Behavior is created it can be viewed and edited.

NOTE: Editing a Behavior will affect historical information. For example, if I took data on "Hand-flapping" last month and then edited the name and goal to "HF Continuous" if I run a report for the data I took a month ago it would be listed with the new name of "HF Continuous".

1. Select the Student from the dropdown on the Students tab.
2. Select the Behavior Reduction tab. 
3. Select the Behaviors subtab.
   
   
   
4. Locate the desired Behavior.
5. Click Actions.
6. Select Edit Details.
   
   
   
7. Edit Behavior as appropriate.
   

   NOTE: You can only change Behavior Name, Goal Name, Definition, and Do not zero out. You cannot change the Category or the Reporting Type.

     
   
   

8. Click Save when finished.
