A screener webpage is automatically generated when you build a screener. It has all the key information about your screener so you have the option to promote the opportunity within your own network. Potential participants can view it on their computer or on their smartphone to get the details and apply.
When creating a screener, you'll choose whether it's Public or Private.
Choose a private link if you don’t want this screener available to Dscout panel scouts in the Dscout app. Additionally, by enabling a private screener, any participants you bring to the platform via webpage link will not be added to the Dscout panel when creating their scout account.
You can also add custom messaging to the exit screens your externally recruited participants will see when they either successfully complete the screener or get knocked out from the screener. This is helpful in giving participants more information about your study. To do this, first choose a 'Private Screener.
When designing questions in the Screener tab of your screener, you can customize text in the "Thank you" section. Edit the Completion message for qualified applicants, and/or the Knockout message for disqualified participants.
Before launching, you can check out what your webpage will look like from the scout perspective by finding the Private share link at the top of the Overview tab, and clicking "View". Here, you'll also be able to preview your completion and knockout messaging. The previews will show the most up to date copy you’ve added.
