(lightbulb) Did you know that not only can you duplicate entire arms , but also events within the same arm?! Talk about a time-saver! (thumbs up) 

When would I use this?  

  • Do you have multiple events that are similar but slightly different so they can't just be repeated? This is the feature for you! 
  • Examples
    • Weekly goal communication that occurs every week for 12 weeks, with slightly different feedback messaging to the participant
      • Instead of creating 12 separate events, create just 1! You can then duplicate it 11 times and alter the messaging as needed - See example below! 
    • Survey administered at 3-week intervals, with a different payment amount for completion 
      • Instead of creating 4 separate survey events, create just 1! You can then duplicate it 3 times and alter the credit amount

  6. You are now ready to update the duplicated event as needed.  I want to change the event start time and the message question to say "Welcome to week 2! Your daily step goal is 7250 stepsTrue or False: Foods high in saturated fat increased your risk of cardiovascular disease? Text back T or F by midnight to get credit!." To do this, click the pencil icon.
