Participants - Qualified vs Not Qualified?

When reviewing candidates for your project, the most critical question is: Is this participant qualified or not?

✅ What Does "Qualified" Mean?

A Qualified participant meets your screener criteria and is tagged with a blue "Qualified" label in your project dashboard. This qualification is based on how they respond to your screener questions.

You can review their responses in detail:

  • Go to Project DashboardParticipants tab

  • Click on the participant’s name

  • Open the Screener tab to view their answers

Each answer is marked as:

  • Qualified response

  • Not-Qualified response


🚫 What Does "Not Qualified" Mean?

Participants who don’t meet your screener criteria will have a gray "Not Qualified" label. This typically happens when:

  • They give incorrect or disqualifying answers

  • Skip Logic in your screener routes them out of the flow

However — you’re still in control. If you believe a Not Qualified participant has valuable insights or relevant experience:

  • Click "Qualify" next to their profile

  • Manually invite them to participate

This action overrides their Not Qualified status.


⚙️ Actions You Can Take on a Participant

From the participant list in your dashboard, click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) next to the Invite button to:

  • Disqualify Participant
    This is a permanent action. If you later wish to proceed with this participant, contact them directly via the Message Center.

  • Hide Participant
    Temporarily remove them from your view without disqualifying.

  • Report Participant
    Your feedback is anonymous. The participant is not notified.
