Overview

Add Sample Sets, Samples, and Design

1. In the Sample sets  field, type the number of sample sets required in the test.
   
   
2. The Samples field defaults to 2. Although this can be modified, in this workflow we will focus on a single Same/Different tests which requires two samples.
   
   
3. In the Design field, the default Same/Different design is selected and we will not change it.
   

   

   The Edit design screen has the optional Shuffle sample set order feature. Choose whether you wish to shuffle the sample sets within the base design (recommended option if  you wish to use the shuffling feature) or across entire design. Shuffling sample sets is useful when you are using the same panelists for testing, e.g. employees, to eliminate a possibility that they might learn the sample order after a period of time. 
   
   
4. If you were editing the design, click Save . Two samples with default information will be listed.
   If you selected one of the shuffling options, you will have the Shuffle and save button instead. To verify what the shuffled order is like, click View design , or go to the Logistics tab and run the Serve reports .

Edit Sample Information

1. Type new Blinding codes . Same/Different tests require that each sample has two blinding codes because one sample is shown twice in some sample sets (panelists are asked to identify whether the samples are the same or different).
   
   
2. Type the Sample name for each sample. This information will be visible in the analysis reports, and if desired it can be made visible to panelists by using Wildcards .
   
   
3. Use the Column picker to display additional fields to fill them out, if desired. 
   
   
4. Click Save .
   

Sample numbers can be rearranged in a test that is not running, by clicking on the crosshair icon and dragging the row of information into another row.
