Turning Technologies TurningPoint Cloud - Manual (Page 96)

TurningPoint Cloud 96
To poll in PowerPoint, a presentation with polling slides or a question list is required. To track results based on participants, a
participant list is also required. For more information on creating a PowerPoint Polling presentation, see
Content on page 67.
1 Plug in the receiver or establish a ResponseWare session.
NOTE
For information on how to establish a ResponseWare session, see Enabling ResponseWare on
page 15.
2 Open TurningPoint Cloud and select a participant list and a question list, or a PowerPoint presentation, if
applicable.
3 Click PowerPoint Polling.
The TurningPoint Cloud Dashboard closes and PowerPoint opens. If using a question list, TurningPoint Cloud will
automatically parse the content into polling slides. This may take a few moments if there are a large number of
questions in the question list.
4 Open the PowerPoint presentation that contains the question slides if a question list has not been chosen.
5 Select the TurningPoint Cloud ribbon.
6 Verify the correct participant list is loaded and Live Polling is selected in the Polling drop-down box.
7 Start the Slide Show.
8 Depending on the Polling Options selected during content creation, the slide may need to be advanced to open polling.
Press the spacebar, enter/return key or down arrow to advance the slide. If using a mouse, a mouse click also
advances the slide. Alternatively, a PresenterCard may be used to advance slides and control polling. For more
information on PresenterCard, see
Pairing a PresenterCard on page 18.
9 Continue until the Slide Show is finished.
Next Steps
Now that the Slide Show is finished and the results have been gathered, the session data needs to be saved in order to
generate reports and manage results.
For more information on saving session files, see Saving a PowerPoint Polling Session on page 101.
The PowerPoint Polling Showbar
The showbar appears when a polling slide is displayed during the Slide Show. The showbar is a toolbar that provides buttons
for polling, monitoring, viewing responses and other polling tools during the Slide Show. The showbar can be moved if a
different screen position is preferred.
The following table provides a description for each button on the showbar:
Minimize Showbar - When the showbar is minimized, the responses, polling
status and maximize showbar button is displayed.
Toggle Response Count - Toggle Response Count changes the values displayed on each chart. The values can
be represented as response counts or percentage of votes.
Repoll Question - Repoll Question clears the responses and accepts new responses from the participants for the
currently displayed question. Both the original responses and the new responses are stored in the session file.
