Organized like the study menu in the app.
Workspace
Find your studies, start a new one, and manage the expert directory.
3 guides- Home and studiesUse Home for what needs you across the studies you are on, and Studies for every study in the workspace you are allowed to see.
- Start a new studyName the study, pick a starting point, and create a draft the principal investigator can finish in Setup.
- Workspace settingsSettings holds your own account and preferences, the workspace an administrator manages, and the defaults a blank study starts from; a study that already exists keeps its own values.
Setup
The Setup steps, from design through launch.
5 guides- Study designRecord who the study is from, its ethics and data rules, and the method, and confirm each part Review & launch will hold.
- Panel designDefine who can join, how large the panel should be, and what the study collects, before Review & launch will allow launch.
- Round designSet the statements, the rating rules, and how the rounds run, and write Round 1's questionnaire only after launch creates the round.
- GovernanceWrite the consent form, publish the wording participants will read, set the study's email rules, and confirm the analysis plan before launch.
- Review and launchRead the ten Setup steps, clear anything that blocks launch, then launch; launch creates the rounds and sends no invitation.
Rounds
Collect ratings, review results, and decide each statement.
2 guides- Round 1 questionnaireWrite the Round 1 questionnaire while the round is being prepared, have the principal investigator approve it, then open the round so the enrolled panel is fixed.
- Coding and adjudicationAfter collection closes, two assigned coders code each comment independently, and an adjudicator settles a comment only where those codes disagree.
Reporting
Export results and complete the study.
2 guides- ReportingDownload the consensus, participation, and response files from Reports, and the study summary and outline from Reporting, and treat each file as evidence the screen produced.
- Completion and retentionWhen every round is finalized, complete the study so the research record becomes read-only and the retention clock starts, then archive or request deletion only from this page.
Settings
Manage the study team, access, and study-wide limits.
3 guides- Study teamAdd the people who run this study, give each person one or more study seats, and use the table on this page for what those seats can do.
- Roles and accessGive each person one or more study seats on Study team, and read "What each role can do" on that page for the list the server enforces.
- ThresholdsRead the Thresholds table for this study's numbers and for whether each one is enforced, reported, advice, not applied yet, or off, and change a number on the Setup page the row links to.
