Booth Setup For Monitoring Tests
Overview
For
test monitoring and sample serving purposes in a lab environment, unique booth numbers may need to be assigned to the booths. In addition to this, some tests may require automated redirect to the panelist login screen. All this and more can be set up through the
Booth Configuration screen.
There are two main ways Booth Configuration can be used:
- Testing with registered panelists. Registered panelists are those that currently exist in your Panelists library and are required to log in to take tests.
- Anonymous testing. Anonymous tests are set up without any panelists and as such do not require panelists to log in to take the test.
In this workflow we will focus on booth setup for testing with registered panelists. If you are considering using anonymous panelists instead, please follow the
corresponding instructions.
Access The Booth Configuration Link For Testing With Registered Panelists
- In a test with registered panelists, go to the Overview tab.
- Click the Booth setup instructions button. You will be presented with instructions on how to set the booths up, with the URL and QR code for the setup. Feel free to follow the instructions found there, or continue here on this page.
- In the Booth setup instructions screen you can:
- Click Copy to clipboard to copy the Booth setup URL. Paste (email it and then paste, or transfer on a USB stick, or simply type) it in a browser on panelist devices to bring up the Booth Configuration screen.
--or
- Use mobile booth devices to scan the QR code by pointing camera on those devices directly to this screen to bring up the Booth Configuration screen on panelist devices.
--or
- Click Print these instructions button so you can take a paper copy of the URL and the QR code with you to each device and use either the URL or QR code option, whichever is compatible with the device. If QR code scanning is not an option on a device, you will have to type the URL in the browser address bar.
- Distribute to your data collection devices in the lab the Booth setup URL, as described in the previous set of steps.
- Launch the Booth Configuration page.
- Enter a unique booth number for monitoring purposes. Keep track of the numbers to avoid duplicates. There is no limit in the numbers you can assign.
For
example, it does not have to be 1 through 10; you can assign numbers in
hundreds if desired. This can be helpful if using multiple labs/rooms
to avoid numbering confusion.
- Optional: By default, redirect loop is disabled. Redirect loop enables the test to auto forward to the
panelist login page (useful if panelists tend to forget to sign out). If you would like to change the default loop time, go to Advanced Options > Enable Redirect Loop > Enable Autoforward > enter desired time > OK.
- When happy with the setup, click Go to login to launch the panelist login screen.
- If you bookmark the login page that has a booth number on it, you will not have to repeat all these steps anymore for any tests with registered panelists. We strongly recommend bookmarking the booth login page.
Be sure to name your Bookmark or Home Screen Icon clearly, and ensure that it is consistent across all of the panelist devices that will be used for data collection. (e.g.: Compusense Booth 1; Compusense Booth 2, etc.)
