About Studies and Tasks

Studies define the tests to perform on candidates to obtain results. For each test protocol to run, a single task is defined for all candidates.

If when you start a stage, the Innovation Design & Decisions data already contains results for candidates' tests these are indicated in the Heat Map. When no results are available, request a study. The study records the conditions, parameters, and observations during execution of the test protocols. Combining this information provides a result for the test for each candidate.

When each of the study's tasks is complete and the corresponding results are imported, the Heat Map, study, and tests display those results.

Project members receive a notification in the 3DNotification Center when:

  • A user requests a study.
  • A task is assigned to you.
  • When a task assigned to you is completed or changed.
