Once you have created the Survey, you can create the response database. The process is exactly the same as for all other Forsta surveys .
Important
If a panel is launched when there is high activity on projects related to that panel, those projects may experience slowness and SQL timeouts. This occurs because the system will try to update the panel databases with respondent transaction information as that information is input. If a panel must be relaunched while related surveys are live then you should launch at a time when activity in the surveys is at a minimum.
A survey for panelist recruiting may be deployed as any other survey in Forsta; that is, as an Open survey available to anyone, or as a Limited survey where you already know your respondents.
After having compiled the response database, the web interview must be generated. This is done in the same way as for other surveys in Forsta. The only differences are the following:
- In addition to choosing the template for the survey in Layout, you must also choose the template for Panelist pages. This is the layout of the web pages where the panelists can log in and get an overview of their profile .
- You must specify the email address that is to be used when sending out lost/forgotten passwords requested by the panelists (by default, the email address from the user settings will be used) - .
