Manage appearance of an AI moderated study

You can make your study engaging and welcoming—and help it stand out to applicants if you're auto-recruiting participants—by customizing its appearance. You can add a custom hero image, apply your company's branding, and add a study description that tells participants what to expect.

Hero image

The hero image is the first thing participants see when accessing your study. You can upload your own or choose one provided by Unsplash.

To change your study's hero image:

1

Navigate to the Overview tab of your study.

2

Click anywhere in the Appearance section.

3

Under Appearance, click Change image. A photo selection modal is displayed.

4

On the Photos tab, select an Unsplash photo. Or, click the Upload your own tab to choose a local file.

Note: The maximum file size for uploaded photos is 3MB.

5

Click Save.

Now, your study's hero image is updated and will be displayed to participants when they access your study.

Company branding

You can display your organization's logo, company URL, and more directly on your study's landing page. This gives your studies a consistent feel and makes them easily recognizable as belonging to your organization.

Note: Before you can enable company branding at the study level, it must be configured on your Dscout account. For more information, see Company branding.

To apply company branding to your study:

1

Navigate to the Overview tab of your study.

2

Click anywhere in the Appearance section. The settings panel is displayed.

3

Set the Company branding toggle to ON.

Now, your company's pre-configured branding is displayed on your study's landing page when you launch.

Study description

Your study's description should give participants an idea of what to expect without giving away your research objectives. Include enough information that participants know what they're signing up for, but not so much that they know what answers you're looking for.

Note: The study description field isn't available on studies that add participants from screeners. In that case, include a description in the screener used to recruit your participants.

To add a study description:

1

Navigate to the Overview tab of your study.

2

Click anywhere in the Study details section, then enter a Study description.

Tip: You can format your text in the following ways:

• *bold* displays as bold

• _italic_ displays as italic

• [Sample link](https://example.com) displays as a link

3

Click Done.

Now, your study description is saved and will be displayed to participants when they access or apply to your study.
