Inserting a Grid

There are three grids available:
Table
Response
Non-Response
l
Table - The table grid displays numbered boxes that represent each participant in the participant list. If polling
with an auto list, the number of boxes displayed is determined by the number of participants responding.
l
Response Grid - A response grid displays participant names by default. As participants respond, the
corresponding box changes color. If polling with an auto list, it is recommended to change the response grid text
to Device ID Only. As participants respond, a Device ID appears in the box.
l
Non-Response - The non-response grid displays the participant name by default. As the participants respond,
the corresponding box is removed. If polling with an auto list it is recommended to change the response grid text
to Device ID Only in the preferences.
