** Please note that the several stages of the Monthly Voting Cycle in the current software may differ from those present in the Case Study videos which are based on an older version of the ECHO software. Nevertheless, the basic concepts still hold true and are meant solely for educating the user. Meanwhile, we are in the process of updating the Case Study videos to better reflect the current state of the software. Thank you for your understanding.
