Congrats on completing your study! Closing your mission brings you one step closer to deep-diving into your data.
Note: Closing a mission is permanent and cannot be undone.
Closing a diary or live interview study
- Navigate to any page within your mission.
- Click the "Close mission" button in the green bar which appears at the top of your mission.
- Click the blue “Close Mission” button again in the window that pops up, confirming that you would like to close your mission. Reminder that missions cannot be re-opened after you've closed them.
Once your mission is closed, the green bar at the top of your mission will turn purple, signifying that your mission is currently closed. Additionally, all participants in the Manage page will have a purple “Closed” box next to their name.
When you close a mission, participants can no longer be invited or submit entries. From the participant's point-of-view, the mission will move from being prominently displayed in their “In Progress” tab to their “Closed Missions” page. Don’t worry—you can still message your participants when you close your mission.
Note: If you accidentally close your mission, please reach out to your Research Advisor or Dscout Support via the support widget (tap the "?" in the top right corner of your mission) as soon as possible.
Closing a usability test or media survey
- Navigate to any page within your mission.
- Tap on the gray box in the top right corner that says "Launched."
- Tap "Close Mission..." then confirm you would like to close the mission. The "Launched" status will change to "Closed."
- If you used a webpage to recruit participants to your study, it is not possible to close this mission type. Instead, tap on the "Launched" status, then select "Deactivate link."
Note: Usability tests and media surveys cannot be reopened after they have been closed, and Dscout Staff cannot reopen a closed study for you. If you have accidentally closed your study, you will need to duplicate and relaunch the mission.
