  • Observations (eyeball icon) … Record behavioral observations
  • Surveys/Spreadsheets (document icon) … Complete a survey or spreadsheet
  • Timeline (calendar icon) This is the default starting screen, which includes announcements and other functionality:
    • Location bar … this displays the Instance you’ve selected, as well as a filter (funnel icon) for your timeline. Tap the Instance to change to another one.
    • Under the location bar, you’ll also see a “refresh” icon on the left, which reloads data and content, and a comment bubble icon, which allows you to broadcast messages to other GideonSoft users in your organization. When you tap this icon:
