Why did my brief close automatically?

A brief can close automatically for one or more of the following reasons:

  • It reached its end date
  • It reached the required number of responses
  • It reached the reward limit (if a reward is applied)

     

End Date Reached

 

If the brief needs to remain live for longer, you can update the end date:

  1. Go to my.bulbshare.com
  2. Locate the relevant brief
  3. Click the three dots (⋯) and select Edit
  4. Go to the Launch section
  5. Set a new end date
  6. Save your changes - click "Publish"

 

Required Responses Reached

 

If the brief needs to remain live to collect more responses, you can update the "Required responses" set up

  1. Go to my.bulbshare.com
  2. Locate the relevant brief
  3. Click the three dots (⋯) and select Edit

Update required responses:

  1. Go to the Audience section
  2. Increase the Required responses number
  3. Save your changes - click "Publish"

 

Update end date:

  1. Go to the Launch section
  2. Set a new end date
  3. Save your changes - click "Publish"

IMPORTANT

  • Both steps are required
  • The system automatically sets an end date when the response limit is reached and brief closed
     

Reward Limit Reached

 

If a reward is applied, the brief will close once the total reward budget is used. 

To continue collecting responses, update the reward and end date:

  1. Go to my.bulbshare.com
  2. Locate the relevant brief
  3. Click the reward icon next to the brief

     

  4. Click on the reward message - this will open the reward settings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update reward budget:

  • Increase Total Units 

    • Total units = This is the reward budget set up for this activity as a TOTAL in GBP - not for one response. Once the reward budget is fully used, brief will close (as there is no money left to be given to the participants).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Click "Save"

Update end date:

  • Go to the Launch section
  • Set a new end date
  • Save your changes - click "Publish"

IMPORTANT

  • Both steps are required
  • The brief closes when the reward budget is fully used
  • The system will automatically set an end date when this happens
