The project review page is the final step before launching your ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and experience sampling method (ESM) project. On this page, you will be able to review the settings of your project.
General
The information displayed in the general section is below.
General settings include:
Title: Project Name
Access Code: The access code for your project that participants can use to join the project (provided you have enabled access code in "Distribution")
# of Surveys: The number of surveys in your project
# of Surveys Scheduled: The number of surveys that you have included in your schedule
Offline: Whether you have enabled offline notifications so participants can take the project without access to the internet. See caveats here.
View Completed Surveys: By default, participants cannot see their responses to completed surveys on the ExpiWell mobile app. However, when this is toggled on, participants can view their past responses to completed surveys.
Hide Calendar: By default, participants will be able to see the calendar of surveys scheduled, as shown below. This is helpful for knowing which days surveys occur. When this is toggled on, participants will not see the calendar for surveys.
Hide Window Times: By default, participants will be able to see the window times of the scheduled surveys, as shown above. This is helpful to know what timeslots the surveys occur in. However, participants will not see the survey window times when this is toggled on. They will only know when to take the surveys when they receive a push notification.
Email Backup Notification: By toggling this, participants will receive a backup email notification if the Firebase notification fails.
Project Screener Live Mode: By default, researchers can take the project screener multiple times to test it. However, in "Live Mode," any given participant can only take the project screener once. If they fail, they will not be able to retake it.
Collect participant IP address: By default, participants' IP addresses are collected when they take the surveys.
Project Email Contact: This is the default email the participants can use to contact the researcher, as shown in the bottom right of the mobile app screen. Premium license researchers will be able to change the email contact. Click herefor more information.
Custom Project End Message: By default, participants will receive a completion message upon finishing their project, as shown in the left screenshot. To customize this message, toggle the option to display a message box where you can input your own end-of-project message (limited to 250 characters), as shown in the example screenshot on the right.

Custom Audio Settings: By default, the settings for collected audio files are device-specific and depend on the operating system or phone model. To specify a format, sampling rate, or bit rate for collected audio files, toggle the option to display the available settings. Then, select the desired settings.
Audio Formats: WAV, MP3, AAC, or FLAC
Sampling Rates: 16 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz
Bit Rates: 64 kbps, 128 kbps, 256 kbps, or 320 kbps
Schedule
With the schedule information, you will be able to check through the settings of your surveys and schedules.
You can determine whether you are using the right schedule type: "Calendar" or "Rolling" or "Static".
You can also check that your surveys are scheduled for the correct number of times. See below for an example.
