New Lighthouse Study

Top 

This dialog lets you specify a studyname and a folder in which to store all study-related files.  

 

Name

 

A studyname must have no more than twenty-four letters or numbers.  All study-specific files (such as your questionnaire, your data file, etc.) use the studyname as their prefix.  

 

A "Study" is a collection of files pertaining to a particular research project.  

 

Location

 

This field lets you specify a folder (directory) in which to place your study-related files.  Lighthouse Studio requires that you place your studies in separate directories (folders) on your local drive.  If your study is named "abcd," a folder called abcd is created, and a study file named abcd.ssi is created within that folder:

 

 /abcd/abcd.ssi

 

You should not place your study directory on a shared network drive; it must be a local installation to ensure that Lighthouse Studio functions properly.
