What's the difference between a Simple Activity and an Advanced Activity?
Overview:
When creating a custom activity in Kinatico Compliance, you'll be asked to choose between two activity types: Simple activity or an Advanced activity. The option you select depends on your objective, whether you need to confirm that an action has been completed (simple), or to demonstrate that the outcome meets a defined standard or specific requirements (advanced).
Simple Activity:
A Simple activity is intended for straightforward tasks that require confirmation or completion only.
How it Works?
When a mobile app user submits a Simple activity, it is automatically marked as Complete thereby marking the user compliant against that compliance task without requiring an administrator review. Note: On Simple activities, you can still make specific fields required before user submission.
Best Suited For:
- Policy acknowledgments
- Induction reading and signoffs
- Safety checklists
- Any task where completing it is all that's required
Advanced Activity:
An Advanced activity is designed for tasks that require validation, assessment, or supporting evidence. Admins can configure scoring criteria, enable retry attempts, and collect files for organisation review before completion.
How it Works?
Scoring:
Admins can configure correct answers for questions and enable automatic scoring of users responses (e.g. True or False questions, multiple choice questions). A minimum passing score can be defined, which users must achieve for the activity to be marked as complete and for them to be considered compliant. Admins may also enable retries, which requires users to meet a minimum score before they can successfully complete the activity. When retries are disabled, responses that do not meet the minimum score are sent directly to Org Review.
Evidence Upload:
If a required file upload field is included, the submission is automatically sent to Org Review for administrative governance. An admin will review the evidence to confirm that the required standards are met before marking the response as Accepted and the worker as Compliant against the specific activity. Alternatively, the admin can mark the response as Not Accepted and the user as Non-Compliant or Resend the activity back to the user to reattempt.
Best suited for:
- Compliance assessments or quizzes
- Tasks that require users to upload supporting evidence, such as certificates or photos
- Any scenarios where admin validation of an activity or task completion is required before the activity can be marked completed.
