Study Variables Setup

Overview

This page covers how to set up LORIS with basic parameters for research data.

Most configuration settings are managed via LORIS's front-end Configuration Module (accessible via the Admin menu item). These configuration settings are stored and loaded from the Database Config and ConfigSettings tables. Some other configuration settings are also found in the file project/config.xml. Finally, some configurations require direct database access and insertions through SQL queries.

Note: Settings found in config.xml take precedence over the Configuration Module. Older projects should ensure there is no overlap in settings between this file and the ConfigSettings table.
