The Document Manager Stats Feature works in tandem with the Free Text Questionnaire to give users an incentive to take the questionnaire on a daily basis. Over time, users can see different statistics such as their daily score, average score over the past thirty days, average score overall, what their current daily streak, and what their longest streak is.

This is a great way to not only gamify parts of your app, but this can also help encourage daily user interaction in your app. In this article, we’ll go over a couple of ways that the feature can be used in different types of apps, how to set it up, how it’s used within your app, some pro tips that we think will help, as well as links to a couple of related articles. First let’s go over some of the use cases for the Document Manager Stats feature.

Note: Before going any further, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Free Text Questionnaire feature, as it’s required in order to use the Document Manager Stats feature within your app. You can learn about that feature in this article.

There are a number of different types of apps that can benefit from users being able to see their scores and streaks over time. Some use cases of this feature are:

As we mentioned before, the primary function of the Document Manager Stats feature is to give your users a way to see their daily streak, average score, and their answers over time to whatever Free Text Questionnaire feature that you pair it with. First let’s go over how to set it up, then we’ll go over how it’s used within your app.

Setting up the Document Manager Stats Feature is extremely easy! Here’s the steps to set it up:

Step 1: Create a Free Text Questionnaire

Before you set up the Document Manager Stats feature you’ll need to make sure you have a Free Text Questionnaire feature set up first. If you’ve already set up a Free Text Questionnaire feature, then you can proceed to the next step.

If you haven’t already done this, then you’ll need to create a new instance of the feature from the Feature Marketplace. You’ll also need to add questions and answers to the feature, otherwise the Document Manager Stats feature won’t have anything to base its average scores on. If you don’t know how to create a new instance of a feature from the Marketplace, we encourage you to check out this article.

Step 2: Set the “Save Submissions to App Data” setting of the Free Text Questionnaire to “On”

While you’re in your Free Text Questionnaire, click on the “Settings” tab of the feature editor and scroll to the bottom of the options listed:

There, you’ll see the “Save Submissions to App Data” setting. Select “On”. Doing so will allow the Document Manager Stats feature to retain your user’s answers to the questionnaire and allows it to provide them with a history of their responses over time.

Step 3: Create an instance of the Document Manager Stats feature

Now that you’ve set up a Free Text Questionnaire feature, the next step is to create an instance of the Document Manager Stats feature and place it where you’d like it to be within your app.

Step 4: Connect the Free Text Questionnaire that you set up with the Document Manager Stats feature

When you’re looking at the feature editor of the Document Manager Stats feature, you’ll see a green “Select” button:

Click this to bring up a list of the features that you’ve created for your app. Select the Free Text Questionnaire feature that you’d like to pair with the Document Manager Stats feature and click “Apply”:

Step 5: (Optional) Set if you want to show the user’s score and if you want to allow them to take the questionnaire more than once per day

Once you’ve paired the Documents Manager Stats feature with a Free Text Questionnaire feature, you’re done with the initial set up. Above that, you have the option to enable or disable users’ scores from being displayed and choosing whether or not to allow them to the questionnaire multiple times a day. You can do this by clicking on the “On” and “Off” switches next to these two settings:

Now that you know how to set up the Document Manager Stats feature, let’s go over how it’s used within your app.

When a user goes to the Document Manager Stats feature in your app, they’ll see a mini dashboard that displays their daily streak and average score over time (if you enabled that in the feature):

To take the questionnaire, all they need to do is tap on the plus (+) button in the lower right hand corner of the app:

This will take them through the questionnaire that you paired with the Document Manager Stats feature:

Once they have completed the questionnaire, they’ll be brought back to the Document Manager Stats feature’s dashboard. As they take the questionnaire over time, their daily streak and average score will automatically update themselves. If they miss a day, their daily streak goes back down to zero. They’re also able to see their answers to the questionnaire in the feature which is a great way for them to compare their responses over time:
