Haus der Kommunikation Alszeile 72 1170 Vienna Austria info@superevent.com superevent.com Superevent Voting manual Version 2.0 Introduction to voting Superevent can be used for polling among the audience. An active Internet connection is required to vote and a speaker, moderator or organizer and the attendees are required to use the app or the Web. Voting is very flexible. In a nutshell: The voting functionality consists of three parts: o Manage Votings: this enables speakers or the organizer to go to a session and define the questions with the possible multiple-choice answers and start or stop voting rounds. Speakers are only able to manage sessions to which he or she is linked. o The Voting module for the attendees to actually vote on these preset answers o The Voting Results: See, and display the voting results. The speaker or organizer signs in to the following module: http://inter.superevent.com/manage/ and gets immediate access to all of the sessions he can define the voting rounds for. The speaker inserts a slide in his or her presentation with a link to the Voting results url. The question and related answers will be part of the powerpoint presentation. During the voting round, the answers are shown dynamically as a bar chart. To start the voting round, use the start button in the Manage console in http://inter.superevent.com/manage/ The attendee votes by tapping on his favorite choice When the speaker feels like ending the round, he taps the Stop button and gets the results immediately visible on the results link. The speakers or organizer- can immediately start next voting round in the management console. How does the voting work? Make sure everybody is familiar with the app before the voting! It is essential that as much attendee s as possible are familiar with the app before the session starts so they don t need minutes to find and install the app. That s the reason it is of utmost importance that Superevent is brought under attention during the day at the registration, by the chairman and the speakers. See the blog for some tips/hints to get as many people sign-in to the app as possible. 1 of 6

This url can be used internally to see the results or publically by projecting the browser.

The first question will be set to active and the voting round has started. Voting by the attendees is accomplished in three steps: STEP 1: SPEAKER (OR ORGANIZER) STARTS THE VOTING ROUND (See above) The speaker asks the attendee s to grab their phones and start the app or type in the Question URL (See above). When the attendee s are ready, the speaker or organizer can start the voting round. STEP 2: ATTENDEE Attendee s select the current sessions in their app through the program section.

NEXT QUESTION? When the results are addressed in the session, a next question can be shown to the public. The speaker or organizer can simply open the next voting round by using the Active icon or the Open next voting round button. If, for some reason, the speaker wants to re-do a voting round, the related question can be Reset which will reset all the past vote counts to this question. To re-start the vote, the speaker or moderator can click the tick-box named Active and the voting round is active again. Re-activating a voting round without resetting the question will simply extend the voting round with more votes. These steps can be repeated until the last question in the session. 6 of 6
