Launch a diary study

When you're ready to open your study to participants, you'll launch it from the builder.

To launch your diary study:

Open your study in the builder.

Click Launch study in the bottom right corner. A study summary modal is displayed.

Note: If you still have unmet requirements, you'll see a Before you launch button with a count instead. Open it to see what needs your attention, and resolve each item to launch your study.

Confirm the displayed summary of your study. If anything looks off, click Cancel and make the necessary adjustments to your study.

Click Launch study.

Now, your study is launched—congrats! You're one step closer to getting valuable insights. For information on what happens next, see the section below.

What happens when I launch my study?

Launching your study results in slightly different behavior depending on how you recruit participants:

Adding participants from a screener or previous study: Participants you've added from a Dscout screener or another Dscout study automatically receive an email inviting them to your study.
Inviting your own participants by email: Participants you've added manually (by name and email) automatically receive an email inviting them to your study.
Using a study webpage: If you're bringing your own participants using a study webpage, launching your study activates the webpage. You can then share the webpage link with anyone you want to invite, and they'll be able to sign up for your study. For more information, see Diary webpages.
