How to Manage Participant Data Collection

Managing a survey project effectively from its inception to completion requires an understanding of the tools and features available within dtect. This guide will walk you through the essential steps of managing participant data collection, ensuring you can optimize your survey's performance and data quality.

Progress Monitoring

We built dtect to be the data quality platform to prevent survey fraud but also included a suite of features to make collecting participant data as seamless as possible.

Data Export

As soon your first participant comes through dtect, it's possible to export a CSV file which shows all starts. Use the Participant Export feature to download detailed reports on participant activity and security check outcomes. See Understanding the Progress CSV Export for more information.

Analyze these reports to identify trends and areas that may need adjustment, such as high rates of security terminates or participant drops.

Editing Project Settings

Based on the results of your data export review, you may want to make edits to the security settings or specs of your project.
