Duplicating Events Within an Arm

 Did you know that not only can you duplicate entire arms , but also events within the same arm?! Talk about a time-saver!  

When would I use this?  

• Do you have multiple events that are similar but slightly different so they can't just be repeated? This is the feature for you! 
• Examples
  • Weekly goal communication that occurs every week for 12 weeks, with slightly different feedback to the participant
    • Instead of creating 12 separate events, create just 1! You can then duplicate it 11 times and alter the messaging as needed
  • Survey administered at 3 week intervals, with a different payment amount for completion 
    • Instead of creating 4 separate survey events, create just 1! You can then duplicate it 3 times and alter the credit amount

How do I use this feature?

1. Navigate to Study Arms under Manage Participants 
   
   
   
   
2. Go to the arm for the event you want to duplicate and click 'Event schedule' 
   
   
   
   
3. Find the event that you want to copy and click the 'Duplicate' button.
   
   
   
   
4. Rename the copied event.  For this example, we will rename the even to 'Week 2 Goal alert'. Then click the 'Duplicate' button. 
   
   
   
   
5. Your newly duplicated event will now appear in the Events Overview. Notice that it is an exact copy of the original encounter, with the updated name. 
   
   
   
   
6. You are now ready to update the duplicated event as needed.  I want to change the message to say "Welcome to week 2! Your daily step goal is 7250 steps." To do this, click the pencil icon. 
   
   
   
   
7. Enter the new message, updated the scheduling, repeats, delivery method, etc.  Then click 'Save'. 
   
   
   
   
8. Your modified event will now display the updates. 
   
   
   
   
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to modify the feedback on the duplicate event by clicking 'Define Logic'. 

  You are now done with updating the newly duplicated event! Hooray!
