There are three modes in Pulse:

  1. All Domains - Pulse will ask questions from all of the wellbeing domains.
  2. Round Robin - Pulse will ask questions from a single wellbeing domain each week for 6 weeks.
  3. Focus Mode - Pulse will ask questions from a welling domain chosen by the school. This is great for gathering a rich before and after snapshot when rolling out a wellbeing initiative at the school.

All Domains

There are the five sentiment and experience questions that are asked in a Pulse check-in. If you are using the All Domains mode, Pulse will ask questions from all of the wellbeing domains:
