Study Explorer

The Study Explorer provides a convenient way to categorize studies into logical groupings under folders, to edit the study menu text descriptions, and to add new studies to the study menu. Folders are topics of studies which are added by the user via the Insert Folder button. Example folder names include Buyer Studies, Product Clinics, Ad Tracking Studies and so on. Studies are then dragged and dropped onto the new folders, ultimately creating a hierarchy within the study menu. mTAB’s Network Global Preferences <<MARK – A LINK HERE>> enable the mTAB network administrator’s folder assignments to be shared by all users on the network.
