Participant statuses & funnel stages
The tabs in the Participants table and the stages in the recruitment funnel.
Strella has two related views of participant state: statuses (in the Participants table) and funnel stages (in the funnel chart).
Participants table tabs
| Tab | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Qualified | Passed the screener and any quota checks. Hasn't been invited yet. |
| Invited | Received the invite link to join. Hasn't completed the interview yet. |
| Completed | Finished the interview. The recording is in Results. |
| Disqualified | Failed the screener, was rejected manually, or got disqualified by a quota. |
Funnel stages
The funnel reads top to bottom; each stage is a subset of the one above. Some stages are skipped depending on study config. See Watch the funnel for the variations.
| Stage | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Clicked link | Everyone who opened your share link. |
| Started screener | Answered at least one screener question. (Skipped if the study has no screener.) |
| Completed screener | Answered every screener question. (Skipped if no screener.) |
| Qualified | Passed the screener and any active quotas. |
| Registered | Provided contact details. (Skipped if you don't collect name/email.) |
| Invited | Received the invite to join the interview. |
| Opened invite | Opened the invite link. |
| Started interview | Joined the call. |
| Completed interview | Finished the interview and produced a recording. |
An interview counts as Completed once the participant reaches the final question. If they leave at that point without submitting an answer to the last question, the interview still shows as completed. Reaching the end is what marks it done, not answering every question.
