      Location Go Back Policy

      This article explains Threshold 360's Go Back Policy, those instances when Threshold requests the Creator to recapture a space

      All Threshold Virtual Tours should follow the Principles of Capturing a Quality Location. This is the guide to assessing content that the Content QA team uses to determine whether a Creator needs to Go Back or not and whether a Go Back will be paid or not.

       

      Key Terms

      Recapture - General term used for anytime a location needs their content to be updated, whether by Creator mistake, customer request, or a general refresh due to old content

      Refresh - Content at a location requires a partial or full update because existing content is now inaccurate and/or old

      Go Back - New content that was recently captured by a Creator that has been flagged by Content QA. Go Back can either be Paid or Unpaid.

       

      Criteria for requesting that a Creator “Go Back” paid

      • Threshold is unable to edit the content and fix the problem 
      • No mistake was made by the Creator, rather, for a technical or circumstantial reason, the user experience is significantly degraded
      • Due to inclement weather, the Creator was not able to finish the capture session
      • The Creator has not been sent on a Go Back in the past (Creators receive a "free pass" for their first Go Back)

      Criteria for requesting that a Creator “Go Back” unpaid

      • Threshold is unable to edit the content and fix the problem 
      • A mistake was made by the Creator that significantly degrades the user experience, including but not limited to:
        • Missing Grandview shots
        • Incomplete Locations (missing content) - full spaces not captured that result in key aspects of the location not being highlighted
        • Bad transitions resulting in the user going through objects, doors, corners, walls, etc.
        • Uncentered doorway transition shots
        • The Creator or the camera/equipment is visible in the virtual tour experience
        • Technical/equipment difficulties that are the result of Creator error
      • The Creator has been sent on a Go Back in the past (they’ve used their one "free pass")
