Body
There are some settings you may want to automatically apply to any Activity you create. To configure this:
- Log in to your Poll Everywhere account
- At the bottom of your left-hand navigation, select the Profile icon
- Under Profile, select Activity Settings
Options Under Activity Settings
Now that you have accessed Activity Settings, you can enable the following:
Template Activity
You can set another Activity’s visual settings as a template for all future activities.
Pinned Q&A Activity
This Activity stays active in the background, even when you are presenting another one. This allows you to collect feedback throughout the presentation.
How Long Should Activities Remain Activated
Choose how long you want an Activity’s status to be “active” before they are automatically deactivated.
This can be as little as three hours to as long as one month.
Participant Screen Names
- Ask participants to enter a screen name
- Do not ask for a screen name; in its place, automatically-generated IDs are used to track responses
Default Activity Settings
The following, once modified and set, will apply to any new Activities you create. If you want these enabled for past Activities that you still use, you will need to edit them manually.
Each of these categories also allows you to select No Default Set. This allows you to freely customize specific settings that may differ from Activity to Activity.
