Dear researchers and practitioners,
referring to the above mentioned question, I would like to know how we suppose to run RI approach in SmartPLS 3.2.7. in my model all my constructs (exogenous variables) are reflective reflective. moreover one of the construct in my model has sub-dimensions (3 sub-dimensions) and in article it has been run as a reflective order.
I would be very grateful if some one guides me step by step how we can run it in SmartPLS. Because I spoken to few people they have different interpretations regarding running the RI model in SmartPLS. some said measurement model will be run twice. one as a whole model and second time with only with only second order i.e. that is with only main construct. even some said before running measurement model one need to calculate CR and AVE manually in excel? while other said in the new version such as SmartPLS 3.2.7 or 3.2.8 it calculate for us. we do not need to do that. is it true?
The problem is that the more you ask the more you get confused. I would greatly appreciate if someone guide me on this issue.
Thank you in advance. Have a blessed day ahead

Happy researching
thank you so much for providing this link. But when we read Baker 2012 article and Hair et al 2016 book, they both did not talk about repeated indicator will be run in two stages. Gakin and few other give you feeling that it should be run in two stages. I know the steps and guidelines how to run it in a proper way. do you have experience of running both repeated indicator approach and two-stage model? As I have two constructs with each has sub dimensions so I have to choose which option will be better for me to run.
Thank you
I've never based on two-stage approach. I always followed repeated indicator approach. I'm sorry I can't not help you.
Thanks Alejandro Ros Galvez for participating in this discussion. I would be very grateful if you cite the article or page no of his book so we can read there. Backer et al. 2012 and Hansesor etc. They talked about different approaches but did not tell how to run it step wise. once we know it will be standardized and hence no further confusion.
Some run it with similar like a two-stage model (e.g. whole model will be run with first and second order constructs- such as run-with sub-dimensions of the main constructs etc). then in the second stage only second order constructs will be run (this time around no sub-dimensions). And some run it with whole model along with all first and second order constructs and report the result. if we suppose to run in that fashion it means its not repeated indicator approach.
Any how I am looking steps how to run it with some citation or reference from book or an article.
I hope you may have some reference regarding above discussion (steps to run repeated indicator model).
Thank you so very much.
Here you have the reference:
https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/a-primer-on-partial-least-squares-structural-equation-modeling-pls-sem/book244583
p.230 onwards. They discuss on repeated indicator approach and two-stage approach.
