Collect Data

How to measure people's movement

 

Tip: You can select the people and activities to collect data on based on the default Views  you've chosen for each person in the People page, or use the Stopwatch to collect data on multiple people at the same time or select activities outside of the Report-based suggestions.

Starting Assessments from the People Page

1️⃣ On plantiga.io, click on the People page. Find the person you'd like to test by scrolling down or using the search bar. The people you've most recently collected data on will be bumped to the top of the page for quick access.

Tip: Toggle the suggested activities on or off by clicking the eye icon.

2️⃣ Below that person, you'll see a list of activities suggested based on the default Views you've chosen for that person. Select the activity you want to collect data on. 

Tip: If you don't see the activity you want to collect data on in the list, you can selecta view for that person that includes that activity or use the Stopwatch

3️⃣ If needed, pair pods to the person following the instructions in Pairing Pods and resolve any reminders following the instructions on the screen.

4️⃣ Make sure the person is ready to start the activity, wearing their insoles with the pods inserted correctly, and the pods blinking green. Press the Start button at the bottom of the screen to start the stopwatch for your activity- make sure people stand still during the countdown (for five seconds total). 

5️⃣  When the countdown says GO, the person can begin the selected activity.
