Creating multiple expected paths for missions

Overview

When completing a mission, testers may take different paths than the expected one you set. 

Maze records every path a tester takes and categorizes them into:

• Direct success: Tester takes the same path you set.
• Indirect success: Tester takes a path that you haven't defined, but ultimately reaches the final screen.
• Give up / bounce: Tester leaves your maze or gives up mission.

If a mission has more than one correct way to be completed, you might want to add different expected paths. Add multiple expected paths for a mission to record all those paths as a direct success.

Before you start

• You need to set a minimum of two screens for each path.
• You can change the start screen of all expected paths before you start selecting the screens.
• The last screen of any path shouldn't be reused during a path. Learn more here.

Adding multiple paths to a mission

You can add multiple paths when you create your missions:

1. In your draft maze, add a mission block.
2. Write the mission task and an additional description.
3. To set a path, navigate through the prototype on the right. You'll see screens appear in the path as you click.
4. Click Add path to add more expected paths.

Analyzing paths in your maze report

When you have more than one direct path to complete a mission, you can choose the path you want to analyze in your maze report:

1. Open your maze report.
2. Go to the relevant mission block.
3. Choose the path you want to analyze under Active path or by clicking on the path in the report.
