Function of The All-Session Index Table

Contents of The All-Session Index Table 
Keeping in mind that a session consists of a ProtoGenie executed for one subject or respondent (or one researcher in the case of an observational study) from beginning to end, the All-Session Index Table consists of a table in which the rows represent individual sessions (cases, subjects, respondents) and in which the columns contain session identification information, a column containing links to the corresponding Single-Session Results pages, and a column indicating the name of the group associated with each session.

Two Ways to Open the All-Session Index Table
There are two ways to open the All-Session Index Table.  The first is from within a Single-Session Results Window.  The second is from the User Action Window presented at the opening of a protocol in the ProtoGenie Composer/Editor.

Opening the "All-Sessions Index Table" From Within the Single-Session Results Window 
The Single Session Results Window contains a menu link called View All Related Sessions.  "Related" in this label, makes it clear that "all sessions" means sessions created by the same protocol. This link is the third of the options listed above the Single-Session Results Window and after the links for View All Information and View Only Data Rows (which apply only to single-session results).  This link takes you to the All-Session Index Table for the active protocol.  

Opening the "All-Sessions Index Table" From The  User Action Window 
This option allows the author or authorized person to go directly to the cumulative results of protocol runs in a study.  This is done by logging on, selecting the Personal Library of Protocols, and then clicking on the appropriate protocol.  This brings up the User Action Page containing a menu of alternative actions to take on that protocol.  To open the All-Sessions Index Table, simply click on the link labeled RESULTS.

Viewing The All-Session Index Table
At the top left of the All-Sessions Index page, you will read "All Sessions Associated With Protocol Number (number)."   Below this, there is a table consisting of seven columns and as many rows as there are sessions.  The headings of the columns are Session ID, Subject ID, Experimenter ID, Case ID, Date, More Session Info, and Group.  In each row of the column labeled "More Session Info," there is a link labeled "Get Session Details."  These links take you to the Single-Session Results window for the corresponding session (row).

Above and to the right of the All-Sessions Index Table there are three links.  They are:  
  •   View all sessions as a single data table  
  •   Download Comma Delimited (RxC) Results File 
  •   Download Results File Using a Delimiter of Your Choice

    The first of these links (View all sessions...) opens an All-Session Data Table in which rows represent individual sessions and columns contain the results for each event in the active protocol.  This is a standard data table.  For details, see All-Sessions Data Table.

    The second two links enable authors to create standard data files for use in data analysis programs of choice.  See Creating Formatted Data Files.
