Task List Types/ How tasks are released in the App
The type of Task List is simply how the tasks will be released and displayed to respondents in the Indeemo App.
Tasks can be released to respondents in 1 of 4 different ways.
All at once tasking:
Respondents see and can complete all tasks immediately and in any sequence from the moment they log into the App.
- Respondents can complete the tasks in any order they wish.
- This format of tasking gives the Respondent freedom to complete the Tasks in their own time and in any sequence.
Scheduled tasking:
Each task is scheduled to be released on a specific date/ time; notifications for new tasks will be sent to respondents based on this.
Even if a respondent does not complete previous tasks, they will still receive their tasks on each scheduled day.
- Scheduled tasking should be used when you have a lot of tasks for the Respondent to complete and showing them all their tasks at once may overwhelm them.
- You can also use it when tasks relate to a specific event or time e.g. you want Respondents to watch a particular TV show at a particular time but don’t want to let them know until the show is about to start.
Sequential tasking:
Sequential tasking should be used for Projects where you want Respondents to complete tasks in a particular sequence and do not want the Respondent to see the upcoming tasks until they have completed their current task.
There are 2 types of Sequential tasking:
Type 1) Immediate: Tasks will be displayed one at a time in a linear sequence.
When respondents complete their current task, the next task is unlocked and a notification will be sent telling them their next task is ready.
If a respondent does not submit at minimum the required response, they will not see their next task in the App.
Type 2) Scheduled: Sequential tasks can be given a start date/ time however all released tasks must be completed sequentially.
This means that if you were to release 2 tasks on Day 1, they must complete Task 1 before they see Task 2; and they must have these 2 complete before they can receive the Day 2 release.
Once respondents complete their current task, the next task is unlocked when:
- The previous task is completed
AND
- The start time of the next task has passed
If a respondent does not submit at minimum the required response, they will not see their next task in the App.
