A row for every episode
The date, start and end time, the setting, who else was present, the antecedent, the behavior with how long it lasted, the consequence and any comments.
ABC data collection software for ABA teams
Write down what happened before a behavior, what the behavior was and what happened after, as it happens. Tag each row from your own categories, and see the counts on charts that go straight into a report. Nūr Evoke counts. Your BCBA does the reading.

An ABC data sheet that keeps up with the session
Fast to fill in on a phone, and organized so patterns are easy to see later.
Tied to the session
Attach a row to the session it happened in, or leave it standalone for an episode between sessions.
Categories from your own list
Tag antecedents and consequences with a tap instead of typing, and pick several per row. The list starts with a standard set, and admins and BCBAs edit it in Settings. Categories are switched off, never deleted, so old rows keep their tags.
Rows and charts
Switch between the sheet and its charts: bars of antecedents and of consequences by category, and a chart of when episodes happen by day and hour. Rows without a tag are counted as not categorized.
Save a chart or print it
Save any chart as an image or print it, ready for a progress report or a team meeting.
Quick entry on a phone
Quick picks for the setting, time lists and category chips mean an RBT can record an episode in moments, on iPhone, Android or in the browser.
The right people, nobody else
Admins, BCBAs and RBTs use the ABC sheet for the clients they are assigned to. RBTs change their own rows, and a BCBA or admin can change anyone’s.
Counts only, with an audit trail
Nūr Evoke shows what was recorded and never says what the function is. Every view and change to a row is written to the audit log.
How ABC data collection works in Nūr Evoke
- 1
Record the episode
Open the client’s ABC tab and add a row: the antecedent and the behavior are required, and the consequence, duration and comments are optional.
- 2
Tag it
Tap the categories that fit the antecedent and the consequence, so the rows can be counted later.
- 3
See the pattern
Open the charts to see the counts by category and when episodes happen by day and hour.
- 4
Share it
Save a chart as an image or print it for the BCBA’s report. Add a QABF or a FAST when you want caregivers’ views too.
Frequently asked questions
What is ABC data?
ABC data is a record of an episode of behavior: the antecedent (what happened just before), the behavior itself and the consequence (what happened just after). Analysts use many of them together to see patterns.
Does Nūr Evoke tell me why a behavior happens?
No. Nūr Evoke counts what was recorded, by category and by time of day, and draws the charts. Reading the pattern is your BCBA’s job.
Can I use my own categories?
Yes. The category lists for antecedents and consequences start with a standard set. Admins and BCBAs can add, rename and switch off categories in Settings, and old rows keep the tags they had.
Can an RBT record ABC data on a phone?
Yes. The iPhone and Android apps and the browser all take ABC rows, with category chips. The day-and-hour chart, saving a chart as an image and editing the category list are in the web app.
Can I link an ABC row to a session?
Yes. A row can be attached to the session it happened in, or left on its own.
