Daily Data
Daily data is linked to a measurement day, unlike activity data which is linked to a specific session.
"Daily" which does not mean that the data changes (or that you measure it) on a daily basis, just that its measurement is made on a given day. For example, your weight may vary (probably little) from day to day, and you don't necessarily measure it on a daily basis.
Where to Display Them?
You can use predefined data in Slek.
You can choose to make them appear on the dashboard:
- In the morning checkup (e.g.: sleep quality)
- In the evening debrief (e.g.: day's stress)
- Or in other metrics, meaning you want to track them but not necessarily on a daily basis (e.g.: VO2max in running)
Configuration
On each data card, the button allows you to configure the data.
The button(s) allow(s) you to add custom data.
Display of "Scales"
Data of type (dimension) "scale" are those that allow you to enter subjective data.
For each scale, you can choose the display mode:
- a slider without value display. This is the default mode in Slek because studies have proven that this is the least biased way to enter subjective data.
- a slider from 1 to 100 with value display
- a slider from 1 to 10 with value display
- a slider from 1 to 5 with value display
Opposite Description
In Slek, this subjective data is often displayed in a radar chart.
In these charts, a full radar (with high values on each axis) is often associated with positive data.
If we collected stress for example, a high value would be negative. In the radar chart we would need to invert the interpretation so that a low value is positive. So in Slek we prefer to talk about "serenity" rather than stress, so that a full chart is always positive.
If this naming bothers you, you can switch to an "inverted" scale with an opposite description: serenity will be called stress and the chart will be more difficult to interpret... but after all, you're the one who will read it so we let you choose.
If after a few weeks, you change your mind one way or the other, you don't lose any data: internally Slek manipulates and stores a serenity value on a scale of 1 to 100. Everything else is just display.
Custom Data
Premium feature
In Slek, you can create the data you want.
This can be:
- objective data (like time spent on TikTok, measured by your phone),
- subjective data (like the desire to move in the morning when waking up, or the need to go to bed in the evening)
For each data you create, you must define:
- a name
- a dimension (distance, duration, "scale" ...)
- if it's a value that needs to be tracked independently by sport (like HR max for example).
