The Simultaneous Testing feature in RedJade allows for multiple tests to be scheduled at a station at the same time. This is an option that can be enabled for each location, so if you do not wish to allow multiple tests to be scheduled at the same time, it is disabled by default.

See the following:

• Enable Simultaneous Event Selection
• Schedule Overlapping Reservations
• Select a Test to Take
• Serving Console

Enable Simultaneous Event Selection

To enable multiple test scheduling:

1. From the ADMIN section, select LOCATIONS from the left navigation pane. You can also go to LOCATIONS from the COLLECTION menu.
   

   
   

   NOTE – Only Company Administrators can manage Locations.

   
   
   
   
2. Click on [EDIT] of the location you want to view or update.
   
   
   
   
3. Select the DELIVERY tab. Set Event Selection to "Participants Select One Event".
   
   

   SEE ALSO – Simultaneous Testing - Participants Select Multiple Tests to Take at the Same Time to allow a participant to select one or more tests to participate in.

   
   
   
   

4. Optionally, select the SCRIPTS tab to customize the Location Scripts. Edit the Select One Event screen, as desired.
   
   English language is chosen by default. To change it, choose the desired language from the drop-down list.
   
   
   
   

5. Click on [SUBMIT] to save the Location edits.

Schedule Overlapping Reservations

When scheduling simultaneous tests at the same time within a room, they must all use the same check-in type. If differing check-in types are used, the station will only have tests of the same check-in type in the following priority: 1. Assisted Check-In, 2. Self Check-In, 3. No Check-In.

To schedule multiple tests at the same time:

1. Create an Onsite Test, as normal.
   

   
   

   SEE ALSO – Create an Onsite Test and Schedule an Onsite Test for additional details.

   
   
   

2. From an existing Onsite Test, select the tab for the event you want to schedule, then select the Days tile to open the schedule.
   
   
   
   
3. From the Schedule step, click on the day for which you wish to schedule the test.
   
   In the example below there are already existing reservations scheduled for January 31st.
   
   
   
   
4. In the Create Reservation window, select the Rooms from the drop-down list and specify the start time and end time for the reservation.
   
   If the start time and end time specified is the same as another test in the same room, a Reservation Overlaps message displays at top of reservation window to indicate which tests are also scheduled during that time.
   
   
   
   
5. Click on [SUBMIT].
   
   

   NOTE – If Simultaneous Events is not enabled for the location, a Reservation Conflict error will display and the reservation will not submit.

   
   The reservation is added to the calendar.
   
   
   
   Hover your cursor over the reservation to see details or click to open and view, edit or delete the reservation.
   
   

Select a Test to Take

The event select screen displays for No Check-In or Self Check-In events. 

For Assisted Check-In, event selection takes place when the participants are checked in. See Check In Participants for further details. Only the tests that the participant was checked in for will be delivered to them at the station.

To select which test to participate in:

1. From a registered survey station, open the browser and go to https://surveys.redjade.net/.
   
   

   SEE ALSO – Setup a Station in a Browser for further details on registering and managing survey stations.

   
   
   
2. If the scheduled tests are using No Check-In, the Event Select screen displays by default (skip to step 3).
   
   Otherwise, for Self Check-In, the Station Sign-In screen displays first. Participants enter their email or subject code from recruiting profile (the default sign-in strategy).
   
   

   SEE ALSO – Participant Sign-In Strategies for further details on configuring additional sign-in strategies.

   
   
   Click [Sign In] to continue.
   
   
   

3. When multiple tests are currently scheduled, the Select One Event screen displays.
   
   

   NOTE – If only one test is currently scheduled, the Event Select screen is skipped and the Participant Start screen for the scheduled test displays. The default event name format that displays on the Event Select screen is "Project Name: Test Name (PID: #####)". Alternatively, if a Consumer Visible Name is entered for the test, that will display instead. You can enter the Consumer Visible Name when creating the test or by editing the test. See Edit Test Type, Name, or Consumer Visible Name for further details.

   
   
   
   
4. Click the button for the desired test.
   
   
   
   
5. Enter a Participant Number then click on [Begin] to sign in and take the test, as normal.
   
   
   
   
6. Optionally, click on [<-Select a Test] to return to the test selection screen.
   
   
   
   
7. Once all the servings for the test are complete, the Participant End screen displays. When the Survey Restart Delay time is reached, the page auto-reloads and returns to the Select One Event screen.
   
   

   NOTE – If a test falls out of schedule, the Select One Event screen automatically updates with a list of currently scheduled tests. If only one test is currently scheduled, the page will reload to the Participant Start screen for the scheduled test. If no tests are scheduled, the No Event Scheduled screen displays.

Serving Console

The Serving Console can be viewed in two modes, Ungrouped and Grouped by Test. Ungrouped is the default mode.

• Ungrouped – All station tiles display side-by-side, as they did prior to the release of the Simultaneous Testing feature. When multiple tests are taking place at the same time, the test currently signed in at the station is indicated on the station tile with a colored dot and a legend.
• Grouped by Test – Station tiles are split into multiple sections based on the test currently signed in at the station.
