You can add a test to an existing project or start by creating a new project. A test must have one or more events, one or more questionnaires and one design block. An offsite test is conducted at a hosting facility on your behalf. 


When you are using a host that is not a RedJade member, when you create the test you get two URLs that you can send to the host to register stations and access the Serving Console. You do not use the participant check-in features or add participants, since participants are managed by the host.

This document describes the steps to create an offsite test for a host that is not a member of RedJade, add participant information and add the date and time of the event.


NOTE – This document details the steps to add a test to an existing project. Instead, you can also choose to Add a New Event to a Test, for which begin with step 6 below. If you are creating a test as a continuation from the Create a Project wizard, begin with step 4 below.



To create an offsite test for a non-RedJade member facility:

  1. Select PROJECTS from the main drop-down menu or select the Projects tile from the home page dashboard.



  2. From the Projects list, click on the [PID], Name, or [SUMMARY] button to open the project.



  3. Click on [ADD TEST].



  4. In the Create Test popup, select a test type from the drop-down menu. This example shows setting up an Acceptance test.



  5. Enter a test name (optional), then click on [CONTINUE WITH WIZARD].



  6. The system takes you into the Test Wizard to complete the test details. In the Location step, choose Off Site to the question "Where will you administer this Acceptance test?"



  7. In response to "Tell us about your Off Site event" enter an Event Name and/or Description, if desired.



  8. Select Send a URL to a non RedJade member facility, then click on [NEXT].


  9. In the Participants step,  complete the Number of Participants and the Starting Participant Code fields, or accept the default value, then click on [NEXT].



  10. To include additional Participant Groups at this time, see Set Up Participant Groups. Otherwise, continue to the next step.


  11. To schedule the test, complete the Timezone, Start Time and End Time fields. The Event Name field is optional.



  12. Click on [SAVE & EXIT] to quit or [NEXT] to go to the Questionnaires step.


  13. After creating the questionnaire, create and approve a design block, then return to the Test Dashboard to launch your test (see Preview or Launch a Test). 

    The test will update with two URLs for you to send to your offsite host to register stations and access the Serving Console. See Register and Monitor Stations for a Non-RedJade Member Facility for further details.
