Understanding the Project & Study Structure

The MobLab Research console uses a simple two-level hierarchy to help you organize your work:

Projects

Think of Projects as high-level folders used to group related research. For example, you might create a project for "Thesis Research" or "Consumer Behavior Studies."

📁 Project Examples

"Dissertation Research"
"Marketing Study Series"
"Behavioral Economics Lab"
"Q1 2025 Studies"

Studies

Studies are the individual research activities that live inside a project. Each study has its own unique configuration, participant pool, and data.

🔬 Study Examples

"Consumer Choice Experiment #1"
"Brand Perception Survey"
"Decision Making Task"
"Follow-up Questionnaire"

Managing Projects and Studies

When you log in, you will be directed to your most recently used project page.
You can create multiple projects to organize different research areas.
Each project can contain multiple studies related to that research area.

Deletion Rules

⚠️ Important Restrictions

You can only delete a study if it has not been launched.
You can only delete a project if it is empty (contains no studies).

💡 Organization Tip

Plan your project structure before creating studies. A well-organized project hierarchy makes it easier to find and manage your research over time.
