What are Actions

The Action Blocks are one of the core features of Atobi. With Actions, you can request your employees to perform actions, such as completing a task, sharing an image, or testing their knowledge with a quiz.

Current actions are:

• Task: You can confirm and track if tasks are done. This is like a simple to-do.
• Media Task: Request employees to share an image and get visual confirmation of how something looks.
• Quiz: Test employees' knowledge of a subject. A quiz has one or multiple correct answers. On top of that answer options can be both text and/or images. You can also add a custom feedback message for your employees when they have completed a quiz and set a threshold of how many correct options are needed to complete the quiz. If "Required correct answers to pass" is set as 1, then the member needs at least 1 correct option to complete the quiz, meaning that the quiz will loop until the member has selected at least 1 correct. This is used if you want to force members to be correct.

• Each quiz has a Score based on the member's performance. The Score is aggregated on article and user levels, so you can monitor how staff score on the article and across multiple articles. This makes tracking strengths and weaknesses in employees, stores, and content possible.
• When adding pictures as answer options to quiz questions the recommended size is a ratio of 1:1,6 or 844x510px / 1688x1020px. 
• Open question: Another option to test employees where you ask them a question and they have to reply by typing a response.
• Yes/No and N/A: Especially for Store visits, these actions allow Store or Area Managers to supervise the performance of their stores. 👉​Please note this is only a beta version, and a new version will replace it soon.

AI Quiz Generator 

We know that creating a quiz for your staff can take a long time. That’s why we have enabled AI to help you generate quiz questions. 

How does it work?

You will see a "Help me write" box in the Article Studio. Click on it, and you will have two options to let AI generate quiz questions. 

1. You can generate a quiz without adding any instructions, and AI will generate quiz questions based on the text in your article. 
2. Add some context on what the quiz should be about.

Examples of context you could add: 

• "A quiz about ____" 
• "A quiz about ____ with 2 correct answers and 3 wrong."

Actions Blocks Settings

All the above actions have these settings:

Deadline

You can set a deadline for when an action should be completed. Both date and time of day can be set. Notice that time will be converted into the members local timezone.

Category

Attach the action to a category (such as Training, Accounting, Employee Satisfaction, etc) to easily aggregate data of all similar actions on the dashboard.

Required completion by

Define if the action should be completed by:

• “All employees in an audience”: this is recommended for training and surveys where you want everybody to complete it.
• “One employee per location.” This is relevant for campaign roll-out and task-focused content where just one employee per store needs to complete it. 

Answer visibility

Define if the answers on actions should be:

• “Public to audience members”: This is recommended for best practice sharing and competitions where employees should be able to see each others performes and answers.
• “Private to article editors.” This is recommended for surveys and sensitive content where answers should not be visible to others. Private Answers can be seen by:
  • Article Creator.
  • The person that submitted the answer (and only their own answer).
  • Collaborators that share the same Audience as the person answering.

Mandatory or Optional

Define if the action is mandatory or optional to complete. If it's Mandatory, it will be pushed and highlighted more for the members.

How to add actions to an article

On the right side of an article, you will find all the block types: Text style, Media, PDF and Actions.

Click or drag'n'drop the action you need to add, and then adjust the settings to your liking 🙂
