This feature allows you to reopen a coding/verify session and select the exact same records as you selected in a previous session.
When to use this feature
This is useful when multiple coders are working on the same task - the set of records you get may be dependent on who else has records "Locked" when you started your session.
Alternatively, you might select a random x% of records in verify, which means it can be hard to go back to verify later and re-select the exact same set of records.
For example,
- A coder goes into Block Coding and chooses "A percentage" from the "Quantity" dropdown. e.g 50%
- They get, say, 500 records - they start coding those records for an hour or so, then log out and go for lunch
- They come back from lunch and want to resume their session. If they select "A percentage" again, they will get a different 50% of records (the percentage selection selects a random set of records).
So, the "Previous Session" gives coder a means to re-open a previous session and select the exact same set of records they had before (see screenshot below).
How to use this feature
Switch on the setting
- This feature is off by default
- Got to Administration > Settings > Company Settings
- Search for "show previous sessions dropdown" company setting and edit to change setting to 'Yes'
Start coding
- Once you have had a previous session already, you will see the option below to choose a previous session.
- Note that this feature is still subject to the same rules around "locked" workloads. So, for example, if another coder has got in there first and is working on your records, then Codeit will not include these (by default). i.e. You can request all the records from a previous session, and Codeit will try and serve those up, but if they're locked out to another user you'll get fewer records than the amount you requested. Of course, if you use the "Include Locked Workloads" option (which also has to be enabled in company settings) you can override this behaviour and still get the records from your previous session.
