How to use Guided Workflows
233 paths built for your study type and field
Pick a workflow for your design or discipline and it sets the stages, reporting checklist, eligibility criteria and tools, then tracks how far you have got.
Before you start
- • A signed-in SciExpert account
Steps
- 1
Open Guided Workflows
From the workspace sidebar choose Guided Workflows. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Guided Workflows.
- 2
Set up your inputs
Pick a workflow for your design or discipline and it sets the stages, reporting checklist, eligibility criteria and tools, then tracks how far you have got. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.
- 3
Run it
Run the tool and check the first output: 69 study-type paths and 164 sector-specific paths.
- 4
Review what came back
Work through the results: reporting checklists applied from the first stage; persona-based recommendations from your onboarding answers; switch workflows from the dashboard at any time.
- 5
Save or export
Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.
Tips
- • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
- • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I run it
Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.
The output is not what I expected
Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
