General Settings

In the sidebar you will find a Settings tab with two subtabs. This page will handle the main settings when you click the upper Settings tab.

Correspondence e-mail

If your e-mail address on which you want to receive communication differs from your login, enter it here.

Choose test device

You can also choose which device you would like to configure as the test device.

The test device is the mobile device that is connected to your practitioner’s account. It allows you to test interactions you’ve created. If the client account on your phone is the first one you’ve added to your dashboard, it will automatically be configured as the test device. If the client account on your phone is not the first one you’ve added to your dashboard, you can still configure it as the test device via the dashboard settings. You can do this by going to the dashboard settings and choosing the client account on your phone as the test device.

If you do not want the data that is collected in this device to mix up with the data of your participants, you can archive this device but still test everything on it without having the mock data in your dataset.

Enable two factor authentication

With 2-factor authentication, an extra layer of security is added to your account to prevent someone from logging in, even if they have your password. This extra security measure requires you to verify your identity using a randomized code we’ll send to the test device each time you attempt to log in.

Make sure your test device is working.

Dashboard Settings

Default dashboard

Here you can change which dashboard you want to use. The researcher dashboard is the one this manual describes, while the practitioner dashboard features a more simplified straightforward interface with usability as the main design motivator. Select Based on subscription if you have access to in-development features that the main dashboard doesn’t contain yet.

Here, you can also opt-in for beta versions of the dashboard, where you will get early access to features that might still be slightly unstable or undocumented.

If you change this setting, please log out and in again to switch your dashboard

Change back to the researcher dashboard

If you changed your dashboard to the practitioner dashboard, it is easy to switch back to the researcher dashboard. To do so follow the next steps:

• Open settings screen in the practitioner dashboard by clicking on your initials and code on the bottom left (see image)
• Click on dashboard to open dashboard settings
• Choose dashboard for practitioners and click update.
• Log out and log back in. Now you should be in the dashboard for researchers again.

Privacy

How clients can find me in the app

In this setting you can make your account public. When checking the first box, you allow clients to find you by using your code. When checking the second box, clients can also find you by searching your last name. When you would like to have a private account but make sure clients could find you, make use of an invitation code.

Notifications

Notify me by mail when

By checking these boxes, you will be notified when someone has added you as a practitioner or when there is any new information about m-Path.

Access Rules

Granting access to other m-Path accounts is a premium feature.

The Access Rules section allows you to control which other m-Path accounts can access your account and to which extent.

Click the “+” icon to add a new access rule. You will be presented with the following dialog popup:

Here you can look for an account by their practitioner code in the first dropdown, then indicate what you want to give them access to (clients, protocols or certain profile features) in the second one. Click “OK”, and the access rule will be added to the list.

If you want to give maximal access, you should add the ‘research collaborator profile’ rule and set the Access rights to ‘full’ once the rule appears in the list.

Once some level of access is given to another m-Path account, they will be able to go to your account by selecting a different project in the top right corner of the dashboard.

Upload

Here you will find the field where you can add your pCloud code (as explained here). Next to the text field you see two buttons. The first one makes the password field visible. The second one flushes your upload cache, so any files still marked for uploading but haven’t reached your pCloud folder yet get uploaded. Click this button if you seem to be missing some expected files.
