Merging Sessions
Multiple session files can be merged into a single session file. Sessions may be merged by questions, by participants, or by
both questions and participants.
If any of the sessions’ question lists are read-only, the entire session’s question list will be marked as read-only.
NOTE
PowerPoint presentations and screenshots cannot be extracted from the merged session file and
response times will not be displayed in the reports.
1 Open TurningPoint Cloud and sign in to your Turning Account.
2 From the Manage tab, highlight and expand a course, click the Session drop-down menu and select Merge.
IMPORTANT
If the course is not highlighted, the merged session file will default to the Merged folder. Once in
the Merged folder, the file cannot be associated with a participant list.
The Merge Sessions window opens.
3 Select the sessions to be merged.
NOTE
Anonymous sessions cannot be merged.
4 Select one of the following options:
l
Merge by Question- Use when the sessions share
a common question list or PowerPoint presentation;
this will result in cumulative results for each
question. Anonymous questions within a session
will be skipped in the merged file.
l
Merge by Participant- Use when the sessions
include a common participant list or common
devices; this will result in cumulative results for each participant.
l
Merge by Questions and Participants- Use when the sessions share a common question list or PowerPoint
presentation and a common participant list; the participants will be merged into one list.
IMPORTANT
Merged sessions ran under Auto CANNOT be moved to a participant list. However, you can run
sessions under Auto, move them to a participant list and THEN merge.
Please note that the use of demographics may cause merged session results to become skewed.
5 Click Merge.
6 Name the merged file and click Save.
All of the merged session files are placed in a new category in the left panel called “Merged.” If Merge by Participant
was selected, the merged sessions may be added to the participant list category or to the merged folder. Once the file is
in the merged folder, it cannot be moved.
Deleting Sessions
A session can be deleted from the computer or the sessions list in the Manage tab.
