The Session Launch Assistant
Launching a new assessment session is done via a setup wizard structured as a three-tabbed modal window. This wizard opens on the screen by clicking the Start Session button located at the bottom of the application's side menu.
1. Essentials Tab
This tab allows you to define the basic framework of the session:
Team Selection
Choose one or more teams from the Organisation targeted by this assessment.
- Usefulness: Team targeting allows you to restrict session access to only members of those groups. This also allows you to filter results and perform subsequent comparative analyses. For more information on configuring teams, see the Managing Teams guide.
- Restriction: A team containing no collaborators (empty team) cannot be selected in the drop-down list in order to avoid launching inaccessible assessments.
Configuration Reuse
When one or more teams are selected, the assistant automatically searches for whether a previous session has been launched for those same groups.
- Usefulness: If a historical configuration is found, a box will appear offering you the option to instantly apply the same settings with a single click.
- Impact: Reuse automatically applies the same question presets, restores the custom question selection, preserves the precise question order from the previous session, and applies the same visual and timing options from the Settings tab.
Selecting Question Presets
Select one or more question presets saved in your Organisation's library.
- Usefulness: Presets allow you to quickly load a thematic subset of questions. If no preset is selected, the assessment loads all questions from the application's general database by default.
2. Questions Tab
This tab lists in detail all the questions that will be asked to participants and allows for fine customisation of the questionnaire:
- Combination and Addition: You can use one or more question presets as a starting point, then manually add or remove questions.
- Manual Selection (Override): You can refine the list by individually checking or unchecking each question. Checking or unchecking questions switches the assistant to custom selection mode, which overrides the initial presets.
- Reorganisation: You can change the display order of questions for participants by dragging the table rows up or down.
3. Settings Tab
This tab allows you to adjust the behavioral, linguistic and visual options of the session (such as the timer, display language, or accessibility aids).
To avoid duplication and ensure up-to-date information, a detailed description of each parameter and its behavior on the participants' screen are documented in the complete Session Configuration guide.
