The workflow at a glance

A software designed for the field and for restitution

From observation protocol to shareable chronicle, ActoGraph covers the full chain.

Protocol
A structured tree of observables

Build your protocol: categories, observables, hierarchy, colors and visibility. Reuse it across sessions.

See features
Workstation protocol
Operator activity
Manual entry
Movement
Communication
Peer exchange
Break
Time-stamped records in the field

Calendar or stopwatch entry, with a customizable panel and synchronized audio/video media.

  • Automatic time-stamping and categorization
  • Auto-generated buttons from the protocol
Actionable graphs and statistics

Generate activity graphs, compute durations, occurrences and medians, export as tables and images.

Multi-platform
From desk to field, on every device

Capture in the field with the mobile app and sync through the ActoGraph cloud across all your devices.

Concept & method

The chronicle, a defensible scientific object

A chronicle brings together three inseparable elements: a protocol, time-stamped records and an activity graph. Saved as a single file, it stays traceable from session to session and defensible before a scientific committee.
