Studies

The Studies section lets administrators create time-boxed research studies, organize participants into groups, schedule questionnaires, and track how well participants keep up.

What a study is

A study is a time-boxed protocol with a name, a description, and a duration measured in weeks. Participants join the study and answer questionnaires on a set schedule as the weeks progress.

Participants are organized into groups, sometimes called arms, so you can compare how different sets of participants respond. For the full picture of how studies are structured, see Studies.

The Studies list

The Studies page lists every study in your workspace in a single table. Each row shows:

Name — The study’s title.
Duration (weeks) — How many weeks the protocol runs.
Status — An Active or Inactive chip indicating whether the study can accept participants.
Groups — The number of participant groups in the study.
Enrollments — How many participants have joined.
Actions — A view button that opens the study’s detail page.

Click any row to open that study. The Create Study button sits in the top-right corner of the page.

Creating a study

Click Create Study to open the creation dialog, then fill in the study’s core details.

The Create Study dialog with name, description, duration and start anchor fields

Enter a Name for the study. This is required.
Add a Description explaining the study’s purpose (optional).
Set the Duration (weeks) — how many weeks the protocol runs.
Choose a Start anchor. This decides what counts as day 0 for each participant. Currently the only option is Enrollment date, meaning day 0 is the day the participant joins.
Use the Active switch to control whether the study can accept participants. Leave it off while you are still setting things up.
Click Create Study to save.

The study detail page

Opening a study takes you to its detail page. A back arrow returns you to the list, and an Active or Inactive chip next to the study name shows its current status. The page is organized into four tabs:

Details — Edit the study’s core settings.
Groups — Create and manage participant groups. See Groups.
Questionnaires — Build and schedule the questionnaires participants answer. See Questionnaires.
Adherence — Track participation and export results. See Adherence and export.

Editing and deleting a study

The Details tab edits the same fields you set when creating the study. Make your changes and click Save to apply them.

To remove a study, click Delete study. A confirmation dialog appears before the study is removed, and deletion is blocked once the study has enrolled participants.

Studies reuse the existing tenant Documents feature for consent — there is no separate, study-specific consent form. Consent is handled at the workspace level: a participant’s enrollment stays pending until they have signed all of your workspace’s active documents, at which point every pending enrollment they have becomes active.

To require consent before participants can take part, upload your consent form or participant information sheet as a workspace document with read-confirmation and consent checkboxes enabled. See User Management for how to manage workspace documents.

Two consequences follow from this being workspace-wide rather than per-study:

Any active workspace document must be signed before a study enrollment activates — not only the consent form. A new document you add later (for example, an updated privacy notice) will hold up study activation until participants sign it too.
A participant who has already signed all your active documents before they enroll is activated immediately, with no further consent step. If you want every new participant to see a consent prompt, make sure the relevant document is active before recruiting them.
