When setting up Check-in for participants in multiple time zones, you may want them to answer at a time compatible with their time zone. Troopr lets you set up Check-ins that prompt participants to answer at the local time zone.
The default "Daily Standup" Check-in template has daily scrum style questions pre-populated. You can add up to 10 questions. Standup Check-in will need at least one question to work. When answering, note that the participant is expected to submit an answer to at least one question.
