In this flow, the employee receives an email informing them they have been invited to participate in a particular study. They click the link to view the invitation in a browser. The invitation provides an overview of the study, the benefits it will provide for them as an individual as well as their organization, why they have been invited, a timeline of the study, privacy guidelines to which the study will adhere, and most importantly a list of activities that will be observed for the study. The user is able to select which activities they are willing to allow to be observed. The employee submits the invitation confirmation.
