Plan Your Indeemo Project: A Simple Guide
Planning your research project on Indeemo is simple when you focus on two core components: Target Groups and Task Lists. A little planning now ensures a successful project and saves you time later.
This guide simplifies your project setup into four easy steps.
Step 1: Define Your Target Groups (The Who)
Your Target Groups are segments of participants in your study.
Target Groups allow you to
- Show a unique task list to each segment,
- Apply varying schedules,
- Filter on your dashboard to the first subset of your project data with one click.
Step 2: Choose Your Task List Type
At Indeemo, we recognise that different projects come with different needs regarding how and when participants see their tasks.
With this in mind, we offer 3 options for you to choose the one most suitable for your task list:
- All at Once tasking
- Scheduled tasking
- Sequential tasking
Clik here to learn about each type and identify which approach is best for your research.
Step 3: Structure Your Task Lists (The What and When)
A Task List is the blueprint for your research activities.
It contains all the instructions and questions for the participants assigned to a specific Target Group.
Every Task List has three required parts:
-
Introduction: This is the first thing participants see. Use it to welcome them, explain the project goal and duration, clearly define your expectations and incentives and provide clear technical support contact information.
-
Tasks: The activities or questions you want them to complete. (See Step 4 for best practices.)
-
Completion Message: The final message they see after completing all required work.
Step 4: Design Your Tasks (The Content)
Your tasks in your Indeemo project are open ended questions.
Participants can respond via text response (Note), photo, video, screen recording which all also have an optional space to add a caption.
Screen Recordings can be Mobile (via the Indeemo App) or Desktop via Indeemo's Google Chrome Extension (via web.indeemo.com)
If you want to offer participants the option to complete a screen recording on desktop, simply guide them to log into web.indeemo.com on their desktop.
Task layout
Title: Each task should have a short, clear unique title.
Description: Specify what, when, where you want them to capture something.
Required Response: Clearly define your requirements here.
Tasks Best Practices
Good tasks are the key to high-quality data. Remember that participants will often be using the app on their phone, so keep it clear and easy to read.
-
Keep it Light: Tasks should be simple and easy to understand.
-
Keep it Short: Ideally, a task should fit on a single smartphone screen to prevent excessive scrolling.
-
Focus Your Questions: We recommend 2 to 4 questions per task. If a question is very important, give it its own separate task.
