The session may begin by the identification of the panelist, who either chooses his name in the list of invited panelists, or types it. The name chosen is then confirmed. The organizer may also ask for a validation of the taster identification by a password.
The session may also include before the test itself a page containing the tray number and asking the panelist to go and take this tray. This allows preparing in advance the trays containing the samples (if the type of samples allows it), and the session can run more freely, without requiring staff to serve the panelists.
Conversely, if the trays are put in the booths in advance, the taster can be asked which one he has been given to evaluate.
The judge the gets the different screens that have been built into the session, with various questions asked. To answer he clicks on the checkboxes (triangle test, multiple choice questions, or category scales for example), on the line scales, the buttons...
When text input is required in your session (password, free comments...), a simplified keyboard may be displayed on screen. The use of the keyboard is not required, except for long comment input.
When the judge has finished answering, a thank you screen is typically displayed, and the test can then restart automatically in the booth to allow an other judge to answer it.
