Rally includes a dedicated Notes column in participant tables within studies, so your team can add internal notes, collaborate more effectively, and stay aligned without leaving the table.

Benefits and uses

• Promotes better cross-functional collaboration and visibility

• Reduces context-switching between Rally and other tools

• Makes it easier to manage participants and session-specific updates at scale

How it works

You can:

• Add freeform text notes to each participant row in your study table

• Collaborate more easily with teammates by centralizing updates or context

• Track participant-specific or session-specific insights inline

• Keep your study table organized with fewer external tools

• Track coordination details or special instructions (e.g., "reschedule for next week" or "waiting on consent")

Add participant notes in a study

1. Navigate to the Participants tab of a study.

2. Select Columns and add Notes if the column doesn't show automatically.

3. Click into any cell in the Notes column to start typing.

4. Your note saves automatically as you type. Click away from the cell when you're done.

   

5. Select a participant's name to open their participant profile and select the Notes tab to view all notes.

Notes are visible to all users with access to the study. To add or edit notes, you need edit access to the study. Users without edit access can read notes but can't change them.
