Record a session for a project

Aim

To record a session for your research project.

Before you begin

• The record functionality depends on your application-level user role:
  
  • As an Administrator you can record a session for any project.
  • As a Researcher you can record a session for projects you created yourself and for projects shared with you as a member.
  • As a User you can record a session for projects shared with you as a member.
• Navigate to the record page of the test station inside your project for which you want to record a session.
  
• Make sure you have connected your devices to the Participant PC.

Note

Resizing panes

The panes of the Record page can be resized and relocated to your preference. You will have to redo the resizing and relocating every time you visit the page as your preferences are not stored.

You have the following options:

• Hover with the mouse over the lower right corner of the panes that you want to resize. Click and drag the panes to your preferred size. Note that there should be free space available if you want to make the pane larger, otherwise it will not be resized.
• Hover with the mouse over the title bar and click and drag the pane to your preferred location. Note that there should be free space available where you want to place the pane, otherwise it will not be relocated.

3. Instruct the participant to perform the requested actions at the recording test station.
