Study settings

"Allow participants to write messages": Enables the message-tab for participants. If this option is disabled, ths message tab in the app is hidden, unless they received a message from the researcher. Participants will not be able to write messages to the researcher (also, they will not be able to respond to received messages).

"Freeze study": When this option is enabled, no new data can be saved for this study (including messages). The server will respond with an error to any attempt of sending data for this study to the server. This means, that apps which try to send data to the server, will automatically try again after a couple of hours.

"Additional days active": ESMira has an auto-quit feature. If you set filters for all questionnaires in a way that at some point no questionnaire will become active again (e.g., questionnaires can only be filled out once, questionnaires can only be filled out for X days after entering the study), ESMira will automatically quit the study on the participant's device. However, this also prevents participants from receiving new messages sent in the study. If you need to remain in contact with your participants, e.g., to handle rewards, you can set a number of days here that the automatic quit should be delayed. The delay is in full days after the last questionnaire that has been filled out (regardless of the time of day the questionnaire was completed).

Save event in events.csv

Most events that happen in the app will not be sent to the server. Events, that are enabled in these settings, will create an entry in the events.csv. The events "joined", "questionnaire", "quit" are always be sent to the server.
