Rally's Study Scheduler streamlines the process of scheduling and managing interviews with Participants. Here's how you can handle interview scheduling and the various scheduling states in Rally.

Scheduling an Interview

  • Once you've selected and invited Participants to the Study, they will receive an email invitation to schedule their interview.

  • The Participant can select a date and time that works best for them through the provided scheduling options.

  • After the Participant schedules their interview, a calendar invite containing dial-in details will automatically be sent to both the Participant and the researcher.

Interview Scheduled

  • As soon as the Participant schedules an interview, their Participant status in the Study will automatically change to "Interview Scheduled."

  • This status indicates that the interview has been successfully scheduled and confirms the Participant's availability.

Cancellation

  • In the event of an interview cancellation by either you or the Participant via the calendar invite, the Participant's status will be marked as "Canceled Interview" in the Study.

  • This status change helps keep track of canceled interviews for future reference.

Rescheduling

  • If you or the Participant reschedules an interview via the calendar invite, the Participant's scheduled date and time will be automatically updated in Rally.

  • This ensures that the Study schedule remains up-to-date and avoids any potential conflicts.

No Show

  • In case a Participant does not attend the scheduled interview (no-show), it is essential to take appropriate action.

  • You can either delete the calendar invite and re-schedule the interview with the Participant or manually update their status to "No Show" in Rally.

Manual Status Update

  • As a researcher, you have the option to manually update the Participant's interview status in Rally.

  • To make updates, select the Participant's name, select the 'Actions' button, and v 'Update Participant Status'.

  • From there, you can select the appropriate status for the Participant, such as "No Show," "Canceled Interview," or any other relevant status.
