FAQ – Rounds, projects, sessions

What is a Round?

The organizational structure on Lookback's platform is:

Lookback organization ➡️ Project ➡️ Round ➡️ Session

So a Round is the iterative organizational layer. All sessions with participants generated from the same participant link will be listed in the round associated with that link. Let's say you're doing a project where you test three different scenarios within a project, you would typically create three rounds=three different participant links. Perhaps you want to separate certain participant based on demographics or something else, just create additional rounds according to your needs. The conditions/messaging/instructions of a test is set in Rounds settings.

Each Round has its own Participant link and Observer link?

• Participant links and Observer links are associated with each Round.

• Unmoderated Rounds ('SelfTest Round' and 'Task for Desktop') will have:
  - A Participant link

• Moderated Rounds ('LiveShare Rounds' and 'Interview') will have:
  - A remote Participant link
  - An In-person Participant link (and QR Code)
  - An Observer link

• A unique interview room is created for each participant clicking on a Participant link, so you never have to worry about one participant interfering with a different session. In other words, the same participant link creates multiple, separate sessions in a 'Round' with the same link.

Can I edit the settings of a Round?

• Yes, clicking Edit beside the relevant round will take you to the Rounds set-up. Remember to click 'Save' after making changes.

Can I delete a session within a Round?

Can I duplicate a Round?

• Yes
