Teamline always posts report results in the same format - as a sequence of messages where each answer is shown as
question -- answer.
The difference between asynchronous and synchronous results delivery is only:
when those result messages appear.
Asynchronous results delivery
When Asynchronous results delivery is enabled:
Results are posted immediately after a person submits their answers
Each participant’s results appear as soon as they respond
The results thread is updated gradually
Example
A report runs with 5 participants.
Person 1 answers → their results are posted immediately
Person 2 answers → their results appear next
Person 3 answers → results are added to the same thread
And so on
As a result, the report thread is filled step by step as people respond.
Synchronous results delivery
When Asynchronous results delivery is disabled (synchronous mode):
Participants can answer at any time during the report window
Answers are collected but not posted immediately
Results are posted only after the report’s waiting time expires
Example
A report runs with 5 participants and a waiting time set.
Person 1 answers early → nothing is posted yet
Person 2 answers → still nothing appears
When the waiting time ends → all results are posted together, in one sequence
The full set of question → answer messages appears at once.
What stays the same in both modes
Results are posted in the same structured format
The same report thread is used (if the "start a thread with automation results" option is enabled)
Answers are not changed or grouped differently
Only the moment of delivery is different.
Summary
Asynchronous ON → results appear immediately after each response
Asynchronous OFF → results appear only after waiting time ends
Format and structure of results are identical
This allows teams to choose between real-time visibility and one consolidated update, depending on their workflow.
