About Task groups

  • Task groups help streamline the test creation process if you have repeated groups of tasks for multiple concepts you're testing.
  • Find the results from your multiple tasks organized on the Metrics tab.
  • Select the pre-configured task group relevant to your desired outcome:
    • Findability: Helps you test if people can locate something in your design.
    • Content: Helps you test if the content in your design is straightforward.
    • Visual appeal: Helps you test if people find your design attractive.
    • Custom: Create your own task group from the available tasks and questions and reuse it for future tests.
    • Camera: Choose which tasks you want participants to have their cameras on for.
    • Balanced comparison: Gather feedback on two designs from two sets of participants. 
  • The Findability, Content, and Visual appeal task groups have 5-6 pre-configured tasks. Some of the tasks can be edited, but they cannot be deleted.
  • Custom task groups can have anywhere from 1-5 tasks and questions.
  • Camera and Balanced comparison task groups can have more than five tasks and questions.
  • You cannot nest a task group inside another task group.
  • Task groups can't be added after you've launched your test.
