# Platform usage

The movisensXS platform (opens new window) gives each user the possibility to take different actions. However, if one is an admin within their organization, there are more actions to take. Thus, we difference between users with and users without admin rights.

We recommend to use the movisensXS platform (opens new window) with the latest Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox version on a desktop device.

# Registration

If you're completely new to movisensXS, you'll want to create an account for your organization.

The account should be created by the future administrator. Further users can be invited to each account by the administrator, who can participate in the creation and implementation of studies (not to be confused with volunteers. The how-to is described below).

If your organization already has an account and you want to join them, please ask an admin of that organization to invite you (via the "+ Add New User"-button).

create-user

Please note that a user is identified by their e-mail-address. An e-mail-address can only be used once for the movisensXS-platform.

# Questionnaire Results

The questionnaire results can be downloaded in different formats:

  • Excel 2007 (XLSX): Default option when downloading results.
  • Comma-separated values (CSV): CSV for regions where the decimal separator is a '.'.

The questionnaire results contain the following columns:

  • Participant: The participant id.
  • Trigger: The name of the trigger that lead to the execution of this form.
  • Trigger_date & Trigger_time: The time when the trigger occured that lead to the execution of this form (in the time zone of the smartphone).
  • Trigger_counter: This counter is incremented each time a trigger (yellow block in the sampling) is executed. Each time e.g. a "Random Time" or a "Button pressed" is executed the trigger counter increments. If multiple forms are placed after one another (e.g. after a "Button pressed" trigger), than the "Trigger Counter" has the same number for all these consecutive forms.
  • Form: The name of the form as specified in the movisensXS web console.
  • Form_start_date & Form_start_time: The form start time (in the time zone of the smartphone).
  • Form_finish_date & Form_finish_time: The form finish time (in the time zone of the smartphone).

  • Missing: If this column is not empty than this form is missing and the column describes the reason. (Ignored = Participant did not respond to the alarm, Dismissed = Participant dismissed the alarm, Incomplete = Participant did not complete the form, Canceled_by_new_alarm = A new alarm canceled the previous alarm)
  • 1-n Columns for each item: For each answer option of a Select Many Item a column is created with the label and the answer option. 0 indicates not selected, 1 indicates selected.

All dates and times are stored in the local time zone of the smartphone except the Form_upload_date/time.
