Collaborating on questionnaires

The "Assignee" of a questionnaire is typically the person responsible for reviewing ConveyorAI's initial answers, and then bringing in subject-matter-experts, or "Collaborators," as needed. Conveyor makes it easy to assign work to collaborators using "Groups" and the "Needs Help From" attribute.


Setting up Groups

Before you can assign a Group to question(s), you'll have to create one more or Groups first.

From here you can edit existing or create new Groups. Groups consist of:

  • A name, like "Legal," "Privacy," or even "Chris Jones." (Required)
  • A color. (Required)
  • One or more Conveyor users. These are the group members who will be added as collaborators and notified when you assign this group to a question. This field is optional; if left blank, then you can simply use Groups to color-code questions.
The Group Configuration modal.  Groups consist of a name, a color, and one or more Conveyor users.

You can then assign groups to questions in one of two ways: one-at-a-time, and in bulk.

Assigning groups one-at-a-time

To assign one-at-a-time, select a group from the "Needs Help From" column on the Questionnaire Overview page of a given questionnaire.

To assign groups to questions in bulk, select the questions that you'd like to assign a group to by clicking the boxes on the left of each question. Or, select the top-most checkbox to select-all:


Next, select "Needs help from" in the bottom-right of your screen:


Notifications

Anyone who is a member of a group that has been assigned to a question for a given questionnaire is automatically added as a collaborator to that questionnaire. Collaborators are notified whenever a questionnaire changes status. As such, we recommend the following workflow:

  • First, the Assignee takes the first pass reviewing ConveyorAI's responses
  • Next, the Assignee tags all the "Needs Help From" groups
  • Finally, the Assignee moves the questionnaire to the "Ready for Review" status, notifying all collaborators that the questionnaire is ready for their input.
