Updating Participant Status
After each scheduled session, you need to manually update the participant's attendance status. This is important for tracking and payment purposes.
Required Status Updates:
- Attended: Mark participants who showed up and completed the session
- No Show: Mark participants who didn't attend their scheduled session
Managing No-Shows
When participants don't attend their scheduled sessions:
- Mark their status as "No Show"
- You can re-invite no-show participants to book another time slot
- This gives participants a second chance if they had scheduling conflicts
- You will not be charged a credit and incentive if a participant is a no-show.
Reporting Inappropriate Behavior
If a participant behaves inappropriately during a session:
- Use the "Report" function to flag the participant
- This removes them from future recruitment pools
- Helps maintain quality standards for the platform
Payment and Completion
Attended Sessions:
- Participants marked as "Attended" will automatically receive their incentive payment
- Payment is processed according to the incentive compensation amount set in your study setup
Cancelled Sessions:
- If you cancel a session within 4 hours of the scheduled time, the participant will still receive their incentive
- Cancellations with more notice do not trigger automatic payment
Session Recordings
- All sessions are automatically recorded by TetraBot
- Recordings are available in your project's Sessions section
- Use these recordings for analysis and sharing insights with your team
Tracking Your Study Progress
Monitor your recruitment progress through the participant dashboard:
