❓ What is the difference between a one-time review and a recurring review?
In Zest, when creating a review, you can choose between two scheduling modes:
✅ One-time Review (“one shot”)
- The review is launched only once on a specific date.
- The defined questions and settings apply only to this single session.
- Useful for one-off needs: end-of-probation review, onboarding feedback, exit review, etc.
🔄 Recurring Review
- The review is scheduled to recur at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc.).
- Each iteration follows the same configuration settings (questions, contributors, opening period).
- Useful for regular rituals: follow-up meetings, annual reviews, recurring campaigns, etc.
- Future iterations can be edited (questions, recipients, contributors, periods) without affecting those already in progress.
⚠️ Key points to remember
- A one-time review is fixed once launched.
- A recurring review ensures continuity over time with multiple automatic sessions.
- The main benefit of recurrence is the ability to compare one iteration with another.
