Project defaults

Set the settings every new project starts with, so your team configures each study once instead of every time.

Project defaults are the settings a new project starts with. Set them once and every new study your team creates begins already configured: the moderator voice, recording and device rules, language, appearance, and the rest. Available to everyone on your team.

Only the settings that make sense for every study are covered. Per-study details (the project name, research goals, close date, and participant limits) are never part of the defaults, since those belong to one study, not all of them.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Project defaults

    Open your organization Settings and select Project defaults under Team. Click Configure to open the settings.

  2. Adjust the settings you want new projects to start with

    The Configure panel is the same settings editor you use inside a study, showing only the parts that apply to every project:

    • Appearance: logo, brand colors and font participants see.
    • Interview setup: language, device and recording rules, privacy, and accessibility.
    • AI moderator: the moderator voice, behavior, and pronunciation guide.
  3. Save

    Click Save. Every new project then starts with these settings.

How defaults apply

  • New projects only. Defaults apply the moment you create a new study from your dashboard. Existing studies keep their own settings and are never changed.
  • Only your changes are saved. A setting you leave at its standard value isn't stored as a default: it simply follows the standard Strella default. Change a setting and it becomes your team's default for that field.
  • Still editable per study. Defaults are a starting point. Open any study's settings and change anything you like without affecting the defaults or other studies.

Things to know

  • Open to your whole team. Everyone on your team can view and change project defaults.
  • Changing a default doesn't change existing studies. Updating project defaults affects studies you create afterward, not ones that already exist.
  • One set of defaults per organization. Everyone on your team creates new projects from the same defaults.
