Dscout lets you analyze your data directly in the platform. However, if your team uses Marvin (also known as HeyMarvin) to analyze data across missions or to store data for future analysis, you can easily export your data from Dscout and import it to your Marvin project.
For guidance on getting your Dscout study data into Marvin, see the section for your specific study type below.
- Usability tests
