Assigning a Study

Once a study has been created, you can assign the study to content raters for rating. A study can be assigned to an unlimited number of raters.

A study must include batches of items that need to be rated. While you may assign a study that does not include any batches to a content rater, the content rater will not be able to start rating until a batch of items is assigned to them. For information on how to create batches, refer to Creating and Managing Item Batches.

When a study is assigned, it can no longer be unlocked unless the raters and any rating data are removed.

  1. From the dropdown list in the Study panel of the Content Rater Admin page, select the subject with which the study you wish to assign is associated. All the studies that have been previously created for the selected subject appear, along with buttons for performing different actions. To filter the list, type a partial study name in the search field.

  1. Select the study and click Assign. The Please select a Rater section appears.

  1. From the dropdown list, select a rater. The incomplete batches that have yet to be assigned to the user are listed in the Available Incompleted Batches section.

Alert: Only an Item Content Validation Rater user can rate items. Please ensure that you have assigned the batch to the appropriate user.

  1. From the Available Incompleted Batches list on the right, select the batches you want to assign. You can select multiple batches simultaneously using the Ctrl or Shift key.

  2. Click << to move the selected batches to the Assigned Incompleted Batches list on the left. You can also unassign batches using >>.

  1. Click Save. A message appears, confirming that the batches have been assigned successfully. If the user is a content rater, the batches will be displayed to them when they access the Rater sub-module.

  2. Click OK and then click Go Back to return to the main Content Rater Admin page.
