Record Roulette

Randomly select records with a fun spin animation

Record Roulette is a fun, gamified tool that randomly selects one or more records

from your collection with an engaging spin animation.

What is Record Roulette?

Record Roulette adds an element of chance and fun to your workflow. When you click the spin button, the tool randomly picks records from your collection after displaying an animated spinning wheel.

Why Use Record Roulette?

  • Fair selection: Randomly assign tasks, leads, or items to team members
  • Gamification: Add fun to meetings, training, or team activities
  • Decision making: When you can't decide, let chance choose for you
  • Quality assurance: Randomly sample records for review or audit

Using Record Roulette

From your collection, click the dice icon in the toolbar to open Record Roulette in the side pane.

2. Spin the Wheel

Click the large SPIN button in the centre of the screen. The wheel will spin for a few seconds before revealing your randomly selected record(s).

Add up to 3 feature cards to display information below the spin button:

Example Uses

Creative ways to use Record Roulette

Tips

  • Filters apply: Record Roulette respects your current view filters, so you can narrow down the pool of records before spinning
