2. Logging a behavior

Last updated on Jul 08, 2026

The Behavior tab is for tracking specific behaviors and the strategies your team used in response. Behaviors are organized into categories your organization configures — for example Desirable, Challenging, Warning, or custom group names. Intervention Strategies appears here as its own category, using the same logging pattern as other behavior rows.

Logging a behavior

On the web

  1. Open Track and select the Behavior tab.
  2. Find the right behavior category (e.g. Challenging Behavior).
  3. Pick the specific behavior from the dropdown (e.g. Aggression toward peers).
  4. Confirm or adjust the Time.
  5. (Optional) Add a Duration in minutes.
  6. Click the + button to save.

The entry appears in Recorded Today on the side, sorted by time.

On mobile

  1. Open the Track tab.
  2. Select the Behavior section.
  3. Pick the category, then the behavior.
  4. Adjust time and duration as needed.
  5. Tap save button.

Logging an intervention

When the team responds to a behavior, log the intervention strategy in the Intervention Strategies section of the same Behavior tab:

  1. Pick the strategy used (e.g. Redirected to a quiet area, Verbal de-escalation).
  2. Set the time and duration.
  3. Click + to save.

You can log multiple interventions the same day — each as its own entry with its own timestamp. On Analyze, they appear in time order alongside behaviors so cause-and-effect is easier to see.

Tying behaviors to interventions

Behaviors and interventions are logged as separate rows, but they share the same day's record. If you want to spell out the connection, add a comment on one of the entries — see Adding general notes and comments.

What shows under Analyze

Everything you log on Track — Behavior, Environment, Health, and MAR — can feed Analyze for that profile once there is data in the date range you select:

  • Analyze → Dashboard — charts and summaries (frequency, duration, health metrics, and more depending on what you track).
  • Analyze → Audit Log — a chronological list of entries for the profile and dates you chose.

See Dashboard overview and Reading the audit log.

The more consistently you log, the more useful Analyze becomes after you set the date range and click Update.

Tips for consistent tracking

  • Log as soon as you can. You can set the time field back if you're logging later — see Backdating entries. Logging closer to when something happened is usually more accurate.
  • Use duration when relevant. A brief outburst and a long episode are different — duration captures that.
  • Keep notes short and factual. "Yelling for 3 minutes after lights came on" is more useful than "Bad day".
  • Align with your team on category definitions. If two staff log the same incident under different behavior types, reports get harder to read.

Common questions

  • The behavior I want isn't in the list. — Someone with edit access adds labels on Profile → Tracking Templates under the right behavior category tile. After they save, the new option appears in the dropdown.
  • Can I log a behavior that lasted overnight? — Set the start time to when it began. For very long stretches, some teams split into separate entries per session.
  • What if I logged the wrong behavior by accident? — Edit or delete it. See Editing or deleting an entry.
  • Will my colleagues see what I logged? — Yes, anyone with access to this profile can see that day's entries.
