The Panelist card provides a central place to view a panelist's activity history and
update their information. Panelist cards can be accessed through the
Panelists library, as well as from the Panelists tab within
tests and
Schedules. This article outlines how to access a Panelist card and describes the details found within it.
Access a Panelist Card from a Test
- Open a test and go to the Panelists tab.

- If panelists have been added to the test, click on the Username of the panelist whose card you want to open. This will open the Panelist card .
Your subscription might be using the Panelist code column name instead of Username.
If panelists have not been added to the test yet, add them and then click on their Username to open the card.
Access a Panelist Card from a Schedule
- Open a Schedule and go to the Panelists tab.

- If panelists have been added to the schedule, click on the Username of the panelist whose card you want to open. This will open the Panelist card .
Your subscription might be using the Panelist code column name instead of Username.
If panelists have not yet been added to the schedule, follow the appropriate workflow for your schedule type to ensure a smooth scheduling experience for both you and your panelists (do not just add panelists because your schedule type may require different steps).
Profile Tab
The Profile tab is the default view when opening a Panelist card. It gives you a complete overview of a panelist's details and account settings, and lets you manage their login credentials and account status from one place.
Panelist Information Fields
The left side of the Profile tab contains the panelist's core contact and identification details. What you see depends on two things:
- The fields available in your Panelists library. Every subscription comes with a set of default fields built into the software, with the option to add custom panelist fields tailored to your specific subscription.
- The fields you included in the view. To help you display only the fields you are interested in, you can use the Column picker in the Panelists library and include desired fields. If your Panelist card does not show a field or fields you expected, close the card and in the Panelists library, go to a panel of your choice and use the Column picker to select the desired fields. Selections made there will reflect in your Panelist card's Profile tab
Account Management Options
The top of the right side of the Profile tab shows a quick-reference summary, including the panelist's name and email.
Below the summary panel, you'll find several tools for managing the panelist's account access and security:
- Password. Click Reset password to open a password reset tool. Enter the new password for your panelist, save the change and tell the panelist what the new password is. This tool should be used only if you have not enabled the feature on your website to allow panelists to reset their own passwords.
It is recommended to first Reset login count (please see below) before resetting the password to ensure that any potential locks are cleared before they try to log in again.
- Status. Use the Status dropdown to set the panelist's account state. Options include:
- Active. With this status the panelist can log in and participate in tests and Schedules.
- Paused. The panelist's access is suspended, but their record is not deleted.
- Delete. Panelist record gets deleted when this status is selected. If you require panelists records to be permanently scrubbed, please contact Compusense Support for assistance.
- Secret Question. Click Reset question to clear the panelist's saved security question, prompting them to set a new one on their next login.
- Too Many Login Attempts. If a panelist has been locked out due to excessive failed login attempts (8 or more attempts), click Reset login count to unlock their account. It is recommended to perform this step in conjunction with resetting their password.
- Reset Password on Next Login. Click Reset on next login to force the panelist to create a new password the next time they log in.
