When recruiting from your own pool of participants, you have several options for how to get those participants on to dscout.  In this article, we’ll be outlining how to onboard participants via Private Screener, but you can see links to other onboarding flows below:

• Diary Mission Onboarding Flow for First-Time Scouts - Scout Profile Not Required
• Diary Mission Onboarding Flow for First-Time Scouts - Scout Profile Required
• Live Desktop Mission Onboarding Flow for First-Time Scouts
• Live Mobile Mission Onboarding Flow for First-Time Scouts

Once you have set up your screener and sent the screener webpage link out to your pool of participants, they’ll go through the following steps to get onboarded on to the dscout platform:

Participants access the screener through the Public Webpage URL

Participants will see the screener webpage that will give them information about the screener.  On this page, participants will submit their name and email to create a dscout account.  They will also be prompted to review the scout Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and tick the box to indicate they agree to them. See a copy of the Scout Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy here.

New User: participants whose email address has never been used to sign in to dscout

Once participants select *Begin research study* on the Public Webpage they will be brought to Q1 of the screener.

Returning User: participants whose email address has previously been used to sign in to dscout

Once participants select *Continue* on the Public Webpage they will be prompted to verify their email.

Participants will receive an email from participate@dscout.com which contains the smart link.  Once participants click the link in their email they will be brought to Q1 of the screener.
