When creating a self-capture activity, you will have the option to specify whether it should be a pre-work or post-work assignment. The Pre-Work option is used to send respondents homework to fill out before their upcoming interview.
- The pre-work allows researchers to utilize the photos, videos, and .pdf documents responses gathered from respondents as stimuli in the upcoming interview, provided that the respondent has confirmed their attendance to that session.
