Merge Session Files
Merge Session Files
You can merge multiple TurningPoint, TurningPoint Anywhere, or TestingPoint session files together to
create a single session file, from which you can generate reports and extract data.
This is especially useful if you have session files from multiple presentations given to the same
participants. You can aggregate the data from all the presentations into a single file with all the responses
from each participant.
Conversely, if you gave the same presentation to several groups of participants, you could aggregate the
responses from all participants into a single session file.
Before You Begin
The Import Session button allows you to import session files into your Sessions file (as described in step 3).
The list of sessions to choose from in the Merge Session Files window lists the files in your sessions folder.
To merge session files…
1 Click Tools on the TurningPoint Toolbar and mouse over Session Management.
2 Select Merge Session Files.
The Merge Session Files window opens and displays a list of session files in your Sessions folder.
You can toggle which files are displayed in the list by selecting My Session Files or My Backup Session
Files. Find more information about where your session files are stored in Save Results from a Session on
page 246.
