The Fusion session status codes describe the interaction the respondent had with the Fusion system. These do not detail out the experience the respondent had with the survey itself, if they made it to a survey (therefore you don’t see statuses such as “overquota”).
Fusion Session Status | Description | Entered Platform? | Supplier Redirect Type | May Re-enter Fusion? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
complete | respondent completed the survey and should be rewarded | yes | Complete | yes |
termination | the respondent was terminated from the survey | yes | Termination | yes |
fusion_LowQuality | this indicates the respondent failed our basic quality checks (e.g. the respondent is located doesn’t match the entry link, Research Defender identified them as a risk, etc.) | no | Quality | yes |
ps_LowQuality | this indicates the respondent failed to pass either Platform's or our buyer's security measures (e.g. the respondent failed our Data Quality Battery questions on the screener) | yes | Quality | yes |
ps_Blacklist | this indicates the respondent failed to pass our security measures and they shouldn't be sent back to the PS system | yes | Blacklist | no |
noAvailableSurveys | the respondent profile did not match with any surveys at the time they entered Fusion | no | No Surveys | yes |
fusion_InProgress | the respondent is currently being matched to a survey | no | n/a | yes |
ps_InProgress | the respondent is actively taking the survey | yes | n/a | yes |
fusion_PublisherEntryLinkHashFailure | Publisher did not provide a correctly hashed entry link, respondent does not enter Fusion | no | n/a | yes |
ps_Drop | the respondent exited the browser while taking a survey | yes | n/a | yes |
fusion_Drop | the respondent exited the browser before we sent them to a survey | no | n/a | yes |
NOTE: in some reporting, you may notice status codes/statuses mentioned that don’t reflect those above. These statuses/status codes refer to PureSpectrum Platform statuses, and if you are interested in understanding what occurs in detail in our Platform once the respondent leaves Fusion, you can find that documentation here.
