Task Logging

While each person using Observer can log markers, marker scores, and text notes, only one Observer designated as the task logger can log tasks and task scores.

The task logger is defined in the study configuration. For details on defining the task logger, see the Morae Recorder Help.

The task logger logs tasks by entering start and end markers at the beginning and end of the tasks the participant performs during the recording. 

If you enter a start or end marker too early, you can enter another start or end marker. Manager uses the last start or end marker for the task.

While you can add markers, tasks, and scores in Manager after importing the recording, you will save time by logging tasks and markers during a session.

How to Log a Task

1. As the task logger, log a Start task marker.
2. In the log, pick a task from the drop-down list in the Task column.
3. Add an optional Note.
4. Add markers during the task, as needed.
5. Log an End task marker.
6. Select a Score.
7. Send a task survey, if applicable.
