Let's manage my trial
During the design phase, the trial is in the Preparing status. After that, it can move to Collecting Data, Finished, and Archived. Let’s take an overview.
| Trial state | Definition |
|---|---|
| Preparing | Trial is in its design phase. 🔴 Participants do not have access to the trial, even if they are associated with it. 🟢 Experimenter can edit and modify each part of the trial. 🟢 Expermienter can click the Start Collection button to move the trial into the Collecting Data status. |
| Collecting Data | Trial is deployed, data are being collected. 🟢 Participants have access to and can run the sequences they are assigned to. 🔴 Experimenter cannot edit or modify the trial. They can only view the content of the sequences and actions. 🟢 Experimenter can add participants. 🟢 Experimenter can click the Finish Trial button to move the trial into the Finished status. 🟢 Experimenter can download the results and analyse the collected data. |
| Finished | The trial is over. 🔴 Participants cannot access the trial and run the sequences they are assigned to. 🔴 Experimenter cannot edit or modify the trial. 🟢 Experimenter can click the Archive button to move the trial into the Archived status. 🟢 Experimenter can download the results and analyse the collected data. |
| Archived | Trial is archived. 🟢 Experimenter can view archived trials by clicking the "Show archived trials" button in the trial section. 🟢 Experimenter can still download the results and analyse the collected data. |
Let's download the data collected
In the Results section of your trial, each sequence has a "Download Results" button. When you click this button, a .zip file is downloaded. It contains:
| File | Definition |
|---|---|
| summary.xlsx | This xlsx file summarizes the sequence results. Each row represents an instance where a subject ran the sequence. The columns are structured as follows: • Column A: Subject's name who has run the sequence. • Column B: Time when the sequence has been scheduled. • Column C: Time when the sequence has been run by the subject. • Column D and the subsequent columns: Each column corresponds to an answer provided by the participant. If it is a Question, the column title is the question itself, and the answer appears in the cell. If it is a Measurement, the column title is the sensor setup name, and the measurement file name appears in the cell. |
| Additional files | Alongside the summary file, there is one csv file for each measurement performed within the sequence. All these files are listed in the summary.xlsx file. |
ℹ️ Results can be downloaded either during the Collecting Data phase or once the trial is Finished .
