I love that this program presents an option for us to view the progress of our students in graph form. I would love it even more and highly suggest therapylog incorporate specific dates within its graphical formats for the progress of students. Thank you, Mindy Zucchini M.S. CCC-SLP
At first I was confused, after all we do have date information available on those progress graphs, so I wrote back:
Mindy,
Hey there, I'm glad you like the progress feature! I think currently if you hover over a data point, it should give you a little box that tells you the date the data point is for. Does that cover what you're looking for, or do you have something else in mind?

I thought that might be the end of it, but Mindy pointed out something really obvious that I'd just never thought about:
HI Ethan,
Thank you for your email and quick response to my inquiry. You're right, if I hover over the graph, the date is viewable on this program. However, the date is not on the graph when it is printed.
Thanks,
Mindy

She was right! We had these great graphs, and they let you see your students progress by date, and they let you print them off, but once they printed there was no way to tell what point was for what date anymore!
We couldn't let such a glaring hole in the system stand, so as of today we've made a step in what we think is the right direction. We don't know if it will perfectly suit your needs, but thats why we want you to try it out...So you can let us know!
Here's what the graphs look like now (as you can see, the dates are visible now at the bottom of the graph):
Thanks for the suggestion Mindy!
Hey reader, do YOU have a suggestion for something on therapylog you'd like to see improved? Let us know! It's our job to make this website as useful as possible, and we can only do that when we know what you want!

What happened to the automatic repeat a therapy daily or weekly schedule option feature. Now we can copy a day; however, I like the past feature better.
ReplyDeleteYolanda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! We removed the repeating feature a few months back for a few reasons. The main one was that it was such a performance problem! It takes a lot of processing time to copy all that data from one day to other days, and too often someone would repeat an appointment out for months into the future, then something would change, and they'd be stuck having to make changes to every appointment out in the future and it was nothing short of frustrating for all parties. We liked the IDEA of the repeat feature because it's something you see in so many calendar applications, but in practice the ability to edit data for every appointment in the future turned out to be a real problem to implement. We've had far fewer errors without the feature, as handy as the notion was, and sometimes we have to make tough calls like that which don't please everyone, but raise our overall accuracy rate.
