Scheduled Launch

Before you schedule

The source must have a valid survey URL with working redirects

Scheduling is per source, not per project — schedule each source individually

Only the project manager receives notifications when a scheduled source launches, pauses, or is cancelled

To cancel a schedule, change the source status back to Draft

Schedule a source

Open your project

Navigate to the Sources tab.

Open the status dropdown

Click the status dropdown on the right side of the source row.

Select Schedule

Choose Schedule from the actions menu. You can also select Launch and change Launch Now to Schedule Launch.

Set date, time, and timezone

Use the date picker and time field. Timezone defaults to your account timezone.

Confirm

Click Schedule Launch. The source badge updates to Scheduled.

Verify

Hover over the status badge to see the exact scheduled date, time, and timezone in a tooltip.

At the scheduled time, Research Desk launches the source automatically and notifies the project manager.
