Checkbox® 4.6

The Checkbox support team has established a general maintenance window between 5:00 am and 7:00 am. We will schedule system maintenance and server restarts during this time. All users should be aware that the system may become unavailable during this maintenance time.

Alert:

DO NOT check the option: “Allow access to summary and detailed results” in the survey permissions under Report security section. Enabling this option will allow anyone to view your survey data. If you are a survey administrator, you will be able to view detailed results without enabling this option.

You must adhere to the Human Subjects Information Regarding Surveys

The Cornell University Institutional Review Board for Human Participants (IRB) exists as a safeguard to promote ethical and responsible treatment of human subjects/participants in research. Without exception, all human participant research conducted by Cornell University investigators, students, and staff, and any others conducting research at Cornell or utilizing Cornell resources, must receive prior approval of Cornell University's IRB.

Please refer to the IRB web site for more information, and to fill out the appropriate application.

You don't need to have final approval from the IRB before beginning the technical work on your survey. However, an IRB approval must be in place before you can ask participants to fill out the survey.
