This feature is a beta version: it may have errors or bugs, and it is not yet complete or finalized. It is enabled by CX for each company, if you don't see "Quick Checks" in your Academy menu, write to your CX contact to activate it.
It lets you reinforce a specific security message with an image and a verification question.
It shows you how many employees opened the content and how many answered correctly.
It doesn't send any email from the tool: you generate the link and distribute it through your own channel (for example, an external newsletter).
You can check both the result of each individual Quick Check and the accumulated total for your whole organization.
Navigation: Awareness → Academy → Quick Checks
Go to Awareness → Academy → Quick Checks. You'll see the list of all your company's Quick Checks, each in a card with its copyable URL.
Press New to create a new one.
Upload your own image (JPG, PNG, GIF or SVG, maximum 5 MB) by dragging it or selecting it from your device. You can replace it before saving.
Write the verification question.
Fill in the two answer options and mark which one is correct (only one can be marked at a time).
Press Save and copy URL to save and automatically copy the URL to the clipboard. You'll see the confirmation "Quick Check saved. URL copied to clipboard."
Share that URL through the channel you prefer. There's no need to assign it or enroll anyone: any employee with an active session in your company can access it through that link.
From the ⋮ menu on each card you can Edit, Delete or View metrics for that Quick Check.
If the Quick Check already has at least one recorded answer, the question and options are locked for editing (only the image can be replaced).
When you receive the link to a Quick Check (for example, in a newsletter), it takes you straight to Academy.
If you're not logged in, it first asks you to log in with your corporate account. Once you log in, it takes you straight to that specific Quick Check (not to the Academy home).
You see the image, you can enlarge it with the "Enlarge image" button, read the question, and choose one of the two options. Once you choose, the "Confirm answer" button is enabled.
When you confirm, you immediately see the result: "Correct answer" (in green) or "Incorrect answer" (in red). If you get it wrong, you're not shown which option was correct.
You can only answer once. If you open the link again later, you'll see it in "Already completed" mode, with your previous answer, without being able to change it.
Each link opens a single Quick Check (there's no list or carousel).
Only people from your same company can view and answer it. If the link is broken, doesn't exist, or belongs to another company, you'll see the message: "We couldn't load this Quick Check".
The image adapts to mobile and can be enlarged to read it better.
Navigation (per Quick Check): card's ⋮ menu → View metrics
Navigation (accumulated): Insights → Academy Analytics → Quick Check Analytics
At the level of each Quick Check you'll see 4 indicators (Opened, Answers submitted, Correct answer and Incorrect answer) in absolute value and percentage, along with a table of who opened and answered (user, department, result, date/time).
The % of Opens/Answers obtained is calculated over the total active users in your company.
The % of Correct/Incorrect answers is calculated over those who answered.
In Quick Check Analytics you'll find the same type of report, but accumulated for your whole organization.
If there's no activity yet, you'll see an empty state instead of broken or zeroed charts.
Deleting a Quick Check removes it from the list and from active URLs; its views and answers stop counting toward the accumulated total.
Do I have to assign the Quick Check to someone?
No. Access is only by link: any employee with an active session in your company can view it and answer it.
Can I send it by email from Whalemate?
No. The tool doesn't send any email; you're the one who distributes the URL through your own channel.
Can I change the question after publishing it?
Yes, as long as no one has answered yet. Once there's at least one answer, the question and options are locked (only the image can be replaced).
Can an employee answer more than once?
No. Each employee has only one answer per Quick Check and cannot change it.
What happens if I open a broken, nonexistent, or other company's link?
You'll see the message "We couldn't load this Quick Check", with no access to the content.
