Participant Partners: Can log in to the website. They are full users, typically in a separate 'Partner' study.  Should be used if you need the partner to interact with the study site (e.g. consent, completing surveys, or viewing a dashboard).Need to select which study the partners will be linked to.  If you don't see your partner study listed, contact the WTH Project Manager to add a new study for your partners.

Support Partners: Can't log into or interact with the website. They are better thought of as secondary contact methods for the participant. Support partners are often used to notify about a participant's non-adherence or to alert the partner that the end of the study is nearing.  Feedback for support partners is built at the arm encounter level, which is addressed in the Building Study Arms with Encounters section. Indicate how many support partners a participant can have. By selecting this box, a tab will appear in the participant's profile in which you can enter in relevant information on the partner.

3. You should now see the original arm (Arm 1) and the exact copy (Arm 2).  The arms will be identical. 
   
   
4. Now you are ready to make changes to Arm 2 to make it different than Arm 1 based on the project protocol design. 
   1. Remember to:
      1. Remove encounters events that shouldn't be in Arm 2
      2. Add encounters events that weren't in Arm 1 and should be in Arm 2 
      3. Swap out surveys, if needed
      4. Update feedback logic on encountersevents, if needed 
         1. e.g. you don't want to mention a payment to a participant in the control arm! 
            
            
5. Yay! Think of how much time that you just saved!
