# Panelists logged in view

## Panelist Accounts

You can allow panelists to Sign Up to your panel by having them create a panelist account with their email and a password. To get a link to this sign up form, you can go to **Settings Panel Sign Up**. For the panelists to login and update their info, the link can be found **Settings Panel Log In**. The form will look something like this, and of course can be white-labeled.

Private Panels keeps track of your panelists' information until such time that they [delete their data](/private-panels/panel-management/panelist-consent-and-opt-in.md). They can view their information on a dashboard which contains the following:

* Account details
* Your company's profile introduction (optional)
* Signup forms with the [Show in Profile setting turned on](/private-panels/panel-management/panel-sign-up-forms.md)
* Studies they're participating in and their session schedules

You can place your logo at the top by following our [Custom Branding](/private-panels/organization-settings/custom-branding.md) guide.

They can click any of the signup forms to answer or update them. The forms will look similar to the image below. Clicking the **Back to profile** button will bring them back to their dashboard.

## Adding Profile Introduction

You can use the profile introduction to give your panelists a brief description of your company, let them know about important things they should know about as a panelist, etc. This can be added in **Settings General**, then scroll down to the **Panelist Experience** section. Then, type your profile introduction in the rich text editor beside **Profile Introduction**. Any changes made here are automatically saved.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/private-panels/panel-management/panelists-logged-in-view.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
