  1. Check that your mobile device is running the most current version of your mobile operating system (example: iPhones must be updated to version 16.0.0 or later). Update the mobile device if needed.
  2. Navigate to either the Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play Store (Android) from your mobile device and download the mytaptrack app. We will populate the mobile app with student behaviors in a few steps.

Copy behaviors check box

A "copy behaviors from another student" check box will show after you enroll your first student. This will allow you to quickly copy behaviors from a preexisting student to save time if the behaviors are similar or the same as another student. 

 

You are now ready to add the behaviors to track for this student.

5. Create the first behavior. You can personalize for each student. Name the behavior (use your language or language directly from an educational plan, it's up to you) (see image below). 

6. The description allows you to operationally define the behavior and is only visible when using the browser tracking. It will not show in the mobile app due to the limited space. You can complete the description at anytime.

7. If you are going to track the behavior as a Duration, check the "Duration" check box. If this is not checked the behavior will be tracked with only frequency. (see image below)

8. This is all you need to complete in order to start tracking. Click "Save" (see image below).

9. Repeat steps 5-8 for each behavior you are tracking for this student.

To enroll the next student: Click the blue + Enroll Student button located in the upper left and complete the steps to add behaviors, events, observations, or goals for the new student.

Targets and Goals- Not required for basic tracking.

This is not required for basic behavior tracking. If you choose to complete a "Target" baseline for a behavior, it will be noted in the graphs for easy +/- visibility. You may also set "Showing Progress" which will drive the Snapshot Report for parent or other support team member. Email support@mytaptrack.com for assistance if needed. 

Always click "Save" after making any changes.

 

Adding/Syncing Students to the mytaptrack Mobile App on a mobile device

1. Download the mytaptrack mobile app from the Apple or Android store onto a mobile device.

2. Return to the student in your mytaptrack account: Click the "Devices" tab. (see image below)

3. Click "Register Device". (see image below)

4. Click "+Register Mobile App". (see image below)

5. Complete the blue shaded form. (see image below)

  • Name your mobile device. This will be how your device will be recognized and labeled in the Devices list.
  • Add the student display name to appear on the mytaptrack mobile app. You can use the student's name or use a code name, initials, etc...
  • Keep the QR code expiration as 1 day (we will be using the QR code momentarily).
  • "Allow note tagging notifications"- If this box is checked, you can add an email address to any note which then sends an automatic email that they have been "tagged" on the note. They can then log-in and review the note.

Use a naming convention for each phone/mobile app

When naming mobile devices that are connected for tracking, it helps to start with a consistent naming convention for ease of organization and identification. mytaptrack will show in the data, which mobile device captured each data point so labeling clearly will show who tracked the data.

  • Check off the "track" box for each behavior you want to track from the mobile device you are registering.
  • Change the order the behaviors will show on the mobile device with the arrows to the left of the behaviors.
  • Click "Save".

 

6. A unique QR code is generated and will be used to scan the student's tracking information into the mytaptrack mobile app. for the device that was just registered. This QR code is not to be used with any other mobile device. You can also print the QR code with instructions (see image below).


7. Open the mytaptrack app on the mobile device just registered and click "Settings" from the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen on your mobile device. 

8. Click "Scan QR Code".

9. Use the mobile device to scan the QR code directly from your computer screen or from a printed document. The student will now show up in the middle of the settings screen as shown in the image above.

Interval Prompts for Time Sampling

What are those Interval Prompts? You can activate a timer/prompting tool which will appear on the "Home" screen and be used for interval tracking/time sampling. Turn them on from the "Settings" screen and you will see the timer appear on the "Home" screen to use when tracking.


10. Click "Home" from the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen on your mobile device. Easily switch between students as needed to capture the behavior.

11. Click the observed behavior to track. The lightning bolt indicates a frequency only. The "play" symbol indicates a duration and frequency and requires 2 clicks, one starts the duration and the second click stops it.

 

12. Try capturing NOTES! Use the "Notes" area at the bottom to send a note to the students record. You can type a note or engage the microphone option to capture voice notes. All notes will be transcribed, data/time stamped, and added to the student's "Note" tab on the student dashboard.
