You can add entries line by line as far back as you would like. For most users, using the bulk entry makes more sense, as they might have a more detailed account of the hours in a different tracker. If that isn’t the case for you and you would like to make more detailed entries, just use the calendar feature on the Dashboard and choose the appropriate date. Please note that you can’t combine bulk entries with individual entries - you have to choose one strategy.

To edit an entry, simply navigate to the month overview and click the pencil icon next to the entry you would like to edit.

If you want to delete a month, you have to delete every individual entry from that month. Go to the month overview and click the trash can icon next to the entry you would like to delete.

We know several aspiring BCaBAs are using Ripley for their fieldwork tracking. We are aware that the requirements for BCaBAs are different. Ripley is built to track your fieldwork hours to sit for the BCBA exam - but it also works well for BCaBAs, although the various requirements can not be adjusted. Keep that in mind if you choose to use Ripley to track your BCaBA fieldwork hours.

We have a simple solution for that. When you are getting set up in the system, there is a button that allows you to ADD the hours you already have. We call these BULK HOURS. To add bulk hours, click ‘Add a previous month’ in the dashboard or simply click here.

Linking Ripley supervisee/supervisor accounts is easy. Here are two ways in which you can link accounts with your supervisor/supervisee.

FIRST (quickest, easiest, recommended) you can go to the top of the dashboard once you log in to Ripley. If you have a supervisor account, it will say “Invite your supervisee(s) to track their progress.”, if you have a supervisee account, it will say “Invite your supervisor(s) to help track your hours”.

Once you have invited your supervisor/supervisee, they will receive an email from Ripley. If they already have an account and are logged in, they can click it to automatically link to your account.

If they are new to Ripley, they will be prompted to create an account. Once their account has been created, they will be linked to your account.

SECOND - if you have unsuccessfully attempted the above method, you can fill out our Contact Form and request for us to manually connect you to a supervisor or supervisee.

Be sure to provide both supervisee and supervisor email addresses that were used to set up Ripley accounts. Please note that this will only work if both parties already have a Ripley account.

Concentrated hours are multiplied by 1.333, per the BACB. If you complete 1,500 concentrated hours, that will be the equivalent of 2,000 non-concentrated hours (1,500 x 1.333 equals 2,000). Ripley tracks this by multiplying concentrated hours by 1.333 before adding them to the ‘Total Hours Completed’ graph, thus it will be weighted differently than non-concentrated hours and will allow you to track both concentrated and non-concentrated hours over the course of your fieldwork and keep track of how much you have completed - and more importantly - how many hours you still need to complete. Additionally, on the monthly dashboard page, all concentrated months will show the need of additional contacts/observations to fulfill the concentrated month's requirements.

When creating a new month on the dashboard, there is a field that allows you to select the specific fieldwork type (non-concentrated vs concentrated). By default, your previous fieldwork type will automatically be pre-selected. If you need to edit an existing month from non-concentrated to concentrated hours, go to the month overview, scroll down to the bottom, and click ‘Edit Month Details’. You will then be able to toggle between concentrated and non-concentrated fieldwork - as many times as you’d like.
