Optional pre launch review for screeners and missions
Screeners
Usability tests
Media surveys
Intercept studies
When building a screener, usability test, or media survey, you have the option of submitting them for review by a Dscout Research Advisor prior to launch. Having your screeners and missions reviewed before opening them to participants can help ensure you get the most effective responses and that your participants have the best experience.
Note: Screeners should be just long enough to determine whether an applicant is a fit for your study. So, screeners that present applicants with more than 20 questions cannot be launched without being submitted for a pre-launch review.
Reviews can take up to two business days. However, we understand different projects call for different timelines, so these reviews are optional in many cases. If you don’t see the option to skip this review, it may not be available in your organization’s Dscout account. Contact your Dscout administrator or account manager for more information.
Tip: If you choose to launch your screener or mission without submitting it for review, refer to our our Screener review checklist and Project review checklist to make sure you’ve covered all the essentials.
To submit a screener or mission for review:
In the builder, click Launch in the top-right corner. A modal opens displaying your review options.
Select Submit for review.
Click Continue. A modal opens requesting a few more details about your screener or mission.
Enter your intended launch date. This must be at least one business day from the date you’re submitting. And keep in mind that your selection here will not guarantee a faster review.
Enter a sentence or two into the provided text box. Let our Research Advisors know about your project goals or anything you want specific feedback on.
Click Submit.
Next, a Research Advisor will review your screener or mission as soon as possible—within two business days at the very latest. You’ll receive an email once the review is complete and find the Research Advisor’s feedback via comments in the builder.
Once you’ve resolved any issues, give your screener or mission one last glance. Then, click Launch in the top-right corner of the builder to open it to participants.
