Guidance for Monday's session
We hope you've already reviewed the 10 Connectathon Tips from the Pros.
Monday 8:00-10am is for system set-up. After 10am, we expect you to perform testing. Here is guidance on goals to accomplish during Monday's testing session:
- Configure and connect to tools for your profiles.
- Complete the 5-minute Consistent Time "CT_Client" test
- Content Creators -- submit CDA/C-CDA docs into the samples area of gazelle for evaluation
- Modalities/Evidence Creators -- submit DICOM samples into gazelle and the Central Archive
- Any other tests labeled "*_Do_This_First" or "*_Read_This_First"
- In general, work on other no-peer tests.
- Then, move on to peer-to-peer tests.

Assigned partners and assigned patients
For Document Sharing (XD*, XC*, MHD) profiles and ATNA, Connectathon Managers make some assignments to help manage testing. First-time participants can read an overview of multiple affinity domains at Connectathons here. This section only applies to test systems in those profiles.
