What is piping?
Piping (also known as recall logic) is the ability to carry forward a participant’s closed-ended response into a subsequent question prompt within the same part.
How does ranking work?
A score (based on average ranking) is calculated for each answer option, allowing you to quickly evaluate the most preferred answer option.
The overall rank is based on the weighted average score, meaning the answer choice with the highest score is “1” in the Overall column, second highest is “2”, etc.
What is the Diary mobile onboarding flow for scouts when scout profile is required?
1.Participants will receive an email notification from participate@dscout.com that they’ve been invited to a dscout mission
- Once Participants select Claim Your Spot they will be prompted to create a dscout account
- Participants will then need to read and agree to the Scout Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy
- Participants will then arrive at a webpage that will give them information about the mission
- Once Participants select Accept Mission they will be prompted to complete their profile and fill in the required profile demographics
- After Participants complete their profile they will be prompted to review the participation requirements and instructed to download the dscout app
- Once Participants have downloaded the app and logged in with their dscout credentials, they will see the mission under In Progress in the dscout app
How does skip logic work?
While the dscout platform doesn’t have branching logic, it does have simple skip logic.
Skip logic can be applied to all question types except for checkpoint questions.
Multiple select questions can NOT skip to different question paths (i.e., if option A skips to question 3, option B can not skip to question 5). This is because the platform won’t know what to prioritize if a scout chooses multiple options that skip to different questions.
When skip logic is applied, participants will be ‘skipped’ over irrelevant prompts and to the next prompt that is relevant to them.
For example, once they see the specific ingredients for their recipe, they will be skipped again over irrelevant prompts and to the next prompt that is relevant to them.
After seeing their segment-relevant prompts and questions, all segments can resume on the same path to answer a common set of questions.
How do due dates work?
Due dates are set in scout local time. If the due date is set as Mon, Jan 1 at 8 PM, a scout in New York and a scout in San Francisco will both have until 8 PM in their local timezone before the part shows as due.
Scouts can still submit entries after the due date passes, but the part will show as “due” in the app.
You can also choose to send automated reminders to scouts starting 2 days before the due date.
How do I delete project data?
When the deletion feature is turned on (talk to your AM to activate it), 90 days after a project is marked complete the research design and all submitted research content are deleted. Users who mark a project complete will receive multiple reminders that this is a serious and irreversible action. Emails are also sent to the project creators and account owner that project has been marked complete and is scheduled for data deletion. The high level project details, including title, launch date and number of completes is preserved in the Account Management section of the platform.
To trigger the data deletion, start by marking a project ‘complete’ from the homepage. As a safety, you are required to enter the project name to enable the confirmation button.
Account owners receive a weekly email alert for dormant projects that may be considered for deletion. A project is dormant if it has been 60 days since a researcher viewed an application, entry or session, or if an export or share link was created.
Once the 90 day counter has started the account owner and project creator receive a warning email 60, 30, 5 and 1 day from deletion.
What are desktop parts?
In desktop parts of Diary missions, scouts will respond to a set of questions and capture videos, photos, or screen recordings from their computer, via a Chrome extension, instead of their mobile phone.
You can build a Diary mission with all mobile parts, a mix of mobile and desktop parts, or all desktop parts, as relevant for your study.
How do scouts experience desktop parts?
When a scout is invited to a Diary mission with one or more desktop parts, the mission will appear in their invite queue in the mobile app or on desktop, marked with a “desktop parts” flag. Before accepting the mission, they’ll go through a brief walkthrough that sets expectations for how to participate on desktop.
Once the mission invite has been accepted, scouts can begin creating entries to desktop parts. In the mobile app, each part is labeled with a mobile or desktop icon, indicating how the part will be completed.
To begin creating entries to a desktop part, scouts can email themselves a magic link from the mobile app, or they can log into dscout on a computer.
Once on desktop, scouts will go through an onboarding flow that guides them through installing the dscout Diary Chrome extension, if they don’t already have it, and perform hardware checks for their camera, microphone, and screen recording capability.
