How to create a CrowdNewsroom with branches
With beabee you can create complex CrowdNewsrooms with multiple branches. Here is an example of a CrowdNewsroom where participants take different branches based on their answers.
If you are creating a more complex CrowdNewsroom with multiple branches, it is advisable to first create a flow chart in which all questions and branches are recorded. The best way to do this is to use a whiteboard tool such as Miro or Mural, but a real pinboard or white sheet of paper will also do. For example, the flow chart for the CrowdNewsroom example linked above looked something like this:
Each box is a separate slide, the arrows represent the branches.
Once you have finished your flow chart, you can start implementing it.
First create all the slides that you have drawn on your flow chart one below the other. To create the branches, you need the CrowdNewsroom-Element Radio. Tip: If you give the slides the same names in both the flow chart and in beabee, creating the branches will be all the easier.
Once you have created all the slides, you can create the branches. To do this, select the slide with the first decision question and click on Edit.
Click on Data and select the next slide for the respective answer from the drop-down menu under Go to slide. In this example, participants should take the first branch if they answer “Yes”. If they answer “No”, they should be taken directly to the next decision question. Click on Save.
The branch is noted on the slides and in the slide overview. Of course, this is not visible to participants in the finished CrowdNewsroom.
Create all the branches one by one. Once you have the flow chart to hand and have named the slides appropriately, it only takes a few minutes.
That's it!
