How to: Export and Import Study Settings of an Entire Study

To help with study start-up and provide the ability to share best practices, users can export and import the Study Settings of one study into another Ripple site. This allows teams the ability to share settings between Ripple sites or send the file to Ripple support staff for troubleshooting.

The settings outlined below are available for export and import:

  • Study Details
  • Statuses
  • Events
  • Requirements (Demographic Settings and Custom Variables)
  • Contact Relationship Values
  • Contact Outcome Values
  • Bulk Tasks
  • Email Templates
  • Text Templates
  • Surveys

Resave your survey!

If your survey includes questions that are linked to the Recruitment Site or Recruitment Strategy variables, go back into your survey and click the "Save Survey" button before using it.

Note

Screening forms are not included in the study export. The Recruitment pages and Site-level settings like Users and their permissions, Security, and General Settings are not available for exporting and importing.
