Why does the completed session goal change with different time intervals I set?

Edited

To give you the most precise number possible, we take the weekly goal for the clinician and divide it by 7 to get a daily value. We then take that daily value and multiply it by the number of days in the selected interval. The number changes because the intervals often have a different number of days.

Example

Goal is set at 10/week.

  • Calendar days: 10/7 = 1.429 sessions are expected per calendar day.

Over the month of January:

  • Calendar days: 31 * 1.429 = 44.299 (rounded up to 45) sessions are expected

Over January 1-12

  • Calendar days: 12 * 1.429 = 17.148 (rounded up to 18) sessions are expected

The Year to Date goal is always updating based on how far we are in the year. The idea is to provide you with a sense of whether the clinician is ahead of or behind where they should be on the day you're looking at it.
