CREATING AND ADMINISTERING A PROCESS STUDY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized method of configuring a process sampling module comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first set of information associated with a first query at a computing device that is generating an administrator interface;
storing the first set of information in persistent memory to set entries for the first query based on the first set of information;
receiving a second set of information associated with a second query at the computing device that is generating the administrator interface;
storing the second set of information in persistent memory to set entries for the second query based on the second set of information;
creating and storing in persistent memory a relationship between an entry for the first query and a subset of the entries for the second query; and
using the entries for the first query, the entries for the second query, and the relationship to create the process sampling module for collecting process data for a process study.

Abstract
Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for creating and administering a process study. An administrator creates and configures a process study on a site on a network. A server on the network creates a process sampling module based on the process study. Participants in the study install the process sampling modules on their end client computing devices. The process sampling modules collect process sampling data from the participants and transmit the data to the server for collection.
