Understanding Participant Statuses
Once your study is published, participants will begin applying and appear in your Participants tab with different statuses:
- Qualified: Participants who have completed all required details and screener questions correctly. These participants are ready to be invited.
- Not Qualified: Participants who fit some criteria and have answered screener questions, but need manual review. You can evaluate these participants and decide whether to move them to qualified status.
- Invited: Qualified participants who have been sent calendar booking links but haven't scheduled yet.
- Update Status: Appears 15 minutes after scheduled start time, allowing you to mark attendance.
- Scheduled: Participants who have booked specific time slots for their sessions.
- Attended: Participants who showed up and completed their scheduled session.
- No Show: Participants who didn't attend their scheduled session.
- Reported: Participants who have been reported for inappropriate behavior.
Managing Participant Applications
Reviewing Not Qualified Participants
- Review participants who didn't automatically qualify
- Check their screener responses and profile details
- Manually promote participants to "Qualified" if they meet your needs
- This gives you flexibility to include borderline candidates
Inviting Qualified Participants
- Once you have qualified participants and your calendar is set up, you can send invitations
- Invited participants receive booking links to schedule their own session times
- They can choose from your available time slots
