Here are a few things to consider while answering the questions in a Store Check.

  • Answer all the required questions.
  • Questions in the questionnaire can be of different answer (data) types, such as boolean, toggle (for picklist), date, decimal, or string.
  • Questions are grouped by activities that are valid during the visit. Identify if the activity is related to a promotion by using the activity description. For example, Activity Description | Promotion Slogan | Validity of Promo.
  • Admins can prepopulate historical answers by using the Presetting and Save Presetting settings in the job definition template for you to complete the store check efficiently and productively by reducing the number of clicks. You can review and edit the prepopulated responses only in case of deviations. See Create a Job Definition Template.
  • Questions for individual Point of Sale (POS) are rendered in their respective tabs after the Store tab.
  • If some questions have follow-up questions or subquestions, find and answer them. Visual cues and indentation make these easy to spot.
