Updating Participant Status
After each scheduled session, you need to manually update the participant's attendance status. This is important for tracking and payment purposes.
Required Status Updates:
Attended: Mark participants who showed up and completed the session
No Show: Mark participants who didn't attend their scheduled session
Managing No-Shows
When participants don't attend their scheduled sessions:
Mark their status as "No Show"
You can re-invite no-show participants to book another time slot
This gives participants a second chance if they had scheduling conflicts
You will not be charged a credit and incentive if a participant is a no-show.
Reporting Inappropriate Behavior
If a participant behaves inappropriately during a session:
Use the "Report" function to flag the participant
This removes them from future recruitment pools
Helps maintain quality standards for the platform
Payment and Completion
Attended Sessions:
Participants marked as "Attended" will automatically receive their incentive payment
Payment is processed according to the incentive compensation amount set in your study setup
Cancelled Sessions:
If you cancel a session within 4 hours of the scheduled time, the participant will still receive their incentive
Cancellations with more notice do not trigger automatic payment
