The User Profile page

When You Cannot Change Your User Profile

The Interview page and the pages of interview stages do not include a Profile link which would give access to the user profile page. To ensure the integrity of interview data, Onyx verifies the interviewer's user name and password when most actions are taken during an interview. For this reason, it is not possible to change your user profile during the course of a participant interview. However, you can exit the interview, make changes to your profile, and then re-enter the interview. See the prerequisites in the Procedures section of this chapter.

Procedures

This section contains procedures related to managing your Onyx user profile.

Changing the Language of the User Interface

The pages of the Onyx user interface can be displayed in different languages. By default, two languages are available: English and French.

Your study may have translated the Onyx user interface or some parts of it (for example, a questionnaire) into additional languages—other than French and English.

Prerequisite

If you need to change the language of the Onyx interface during the course of a participant interview, you must temporarily exit the interview as follows:

After you change the language of the user interface, you can re-enter the participant's interview and resume the stage as explained in Entering the Interview page and Resuming a stage.

Procedure

  1. Select the Profile link in the upper right corner of the Onyx page. Your user profile is displayed. If you do not see a Profile link, see the Prerequisite section.
  2. Select a language from the drop-down list in the top half of the profile page. The language of the Onyx interface is changed immediately for the current page and for all other pages for which the selected language is available. If a label is not available in the selected language is not available, a default label is displayed.
  3. Return to the rest of the Onyx user interface by selecting a tab (Home, Particicpants or Workstation).

Changing Your Password

if you know your current user password, you can change your Onyx user password as explained in this section.

If you do not remember your current user password, the system administrator can reset it to a temporary password, and afterwards you should follow this procedure to change it to a new password that only you will know.

Prerequisite

If you are in the middle of a participant interview, you cannot change your password. You must temporarily exit the interview as follows:

  • If you cannot exit the interview, because you do not remember your current user password, see your system administrator.
  • If you're in the middle of an interview stage, pause the interview stage. See Pausing an interview stage.
  • Exit the Interview page. See Exiting the Interview page.

After you change your password, you can re-enter the participant's interview and resume the stage as explained in Entering the Interview page and Resuming a stage (that was paused).

Procedure

  1. Select the Profile link in the upper right corner of the Onyx page. Your user profile is displayed. If you do not see a Profile link, see the Prerequisite section.
  2. Enter the same new password in the Password (confirmation) field in the lower part of the page.
  3. Select the Save button. Your new password is effective immediately.
  4. Return to the rest of the Onyx user interface by selecting a tab (Home, Particicpants or Workstation).
