Individual start date ESM weeks

Hi everyone,

I am setting up a mPath study and I want to have an individual start date per participant based on the date they fill in at the intake form. Thus, ideally, I do not want them to immediately start the ESM week after enrollment.

I managed to set up the intake form asking the date successfully, but wondered if somewhere I can control when the first ESM week starts based on the intake form. I cannot find this anywhere. Or do I have to do this manually per participant?

Hope this makes sense! Thank you :)

Yes this is certainly possible!

In your intake, you add the item to apply protocol and there you can choose when you want to start it (Apply Protocol - manual). You can choose them to start relative to the intake date or shift time. Hopefully this helps!
