# Dashboard

After launching, the Study Dashboard is where you watch progress, invite participants, and reach your results.

You land here automatically after launch. To come back later, click **Dashboard** in the left navigation and pick your study.

## Key metrics

Four cards across the top:

| Metric             | Description                                 |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Responses**      | Completed interviews                        |
| **Avg Length**     | Average duration of completed conversations |
| **Quality**        | Responses meeting quality thresholds        |
| **Study Progress** | Responses collected against your target     |

### Understanding quality

An interview counts toward **Quality** based on three things: whether it ran long enough to cover the ground, whether the participant gave substantive answers rather than one-word ones, and how much of your research plan the conversation actually reached.

Interviews that fall short are still recorded and still readable — they're just tracked separately, so your headline number reflects the responses you'd actually build a decision on.

## Study status

A badge next to your study name shows where it stands.

| Status        | Meaning                                |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Creating**  | Still being set up                     |
| **Launching** | Going live                             |
| **Queued**    | Waiting to start fielding              |
| **Fielding**  | Actively collecting responses          |
| **Complete**  | Target reached                         |
| **Partial**   | Finished short of target               |
| **Paused**    | Stopped by you; no new responses       |
| **Cancelled** | Stopped and closed out                 |
| **Failed**    | Something went wrong — contact support |

Panel studies show a status throughout. Studies where you bring your own participants show a badge once they're complete or paused.

## Tabs

### Invites

Everyone you've invited and where they've got to — email address, when the invitation was sent, and when the interview was taken. Test invites carry a **Test** badge.

Actions per row let you resend, delete, or copy that participant's invite link.

### Calls

Every completed interview, with its quality rating and end reason. Click a row for the transcript, screener responses, and summary.

<Card title="Calls & transcripts" icon="microphone" href="/results/calls-and-transcripts">
  Reviewing individual interviews in detail.
</Card>

### Reports

Synthesis across all completed interviews in the study.

<Card title="Reports" icon="chart-bar" href="/results/reports">
  Generating and interpreting reports.
</Card>

## Inviting participants

Click **Invite Participants**. What you see depends on the recruiting method you chose in Step 4.

| Bring your own participants                  | Panel                                                                   |
| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Copy Study Link** — share it anywhere      | **Copy Test Link** — try the study yourself                             |
| **Send Email Invites** — we email your list  | **Recruit from Our Panel** — set a target and field it                  |
| **Copy Embed Code** — put it in your product | **Recruit a Niche Audience** — request a quote for hard-to-reach people |

The menu is disabled while a study is paused.

## Managing the study

The **Actions** menu in the top right handles everything else — editing, duplicating, pausing, rewards, and deletion.

<Card title="Study actions" icon="gear" href="/managing-your-study/study-actions">

## Real-time updates

The dashboard updates as participants finish. Metrics refresh, new responses appear in the Invites and Calls tabs, and the progress bar advances. You don't need to reload the page.

## Quick tips

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Watch quality, not just volume">
    Twenty interviews with a low quality share is a study that needs a look, not a study that's nearly done.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Review the first few">
    Listen to your earliest interviews to confirm the conversation is going where you intended, while there's still time to adjust.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Track your response rate">
    Compare invites sent against calls completed. A low rate usually means the invitation, not the study.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Let it run">
    Changing questions mid-study makes early and late responses hard to compare.
