Add/Delete/Rename a Panel

Add/Delete/Rename a Panel

Overview

Before you can use panelists in your tests, they need to exist in the Panelists library. Before you can import or manually add panelists into the Panelists library, first you will need to have a panel to add panelists into. All panelists in the Panelists library must be members of at least one panel.

The purpose of organizing panelists in top level panels and subpanels is to assist you in panelist searches, when adding panelists to your tests, preparing general email communications, etc.

There are four main types of panels:
  1. Top Level Panel - Useful to separate and maintain distinct types of panels, such as Descriptive Panel , Consumer Panel , Employee Panel , etc. You can create top level panels as described in this workflow.

  2. Subpanel - Useful to further organize panelists within top level panels. For example, under the top level Consumer Panel , you can have Local Consumer Panel , Weekday Consumer Panel , etc. Subpanels can have their own subpanels if required. You can create subpanels as described in this workflow.

  3. Paused Panelists - This panel is distributed with the software. It is useful for managing panelists who are not active for a specific period of time or indefinitely. This panel cannot be deleted or renamed, and it cannot have subpanels.

  4. Unassigned Panelists - This panel is distributed with the software. It is useful for locating panelists that are not members of any panels your organization created and are not paused. This panel cannot be deleted or renamed, and it cannot have subpanels.

In this workflow we will learn how to create new and how to rename and delete existing top level panels and subpanels.
