‘Import Participant List’ from the ‘Participants’ icon on the TurningPoint
toolbar.

Slide Types
1. New Chart Slides – (First Group Under ‘Insert Slide’ Menu)
a. Responses Only – Does not contain a chart. Displays only the text
results of responses. Depending on the settings, the results are
displayed as a percentage or a vote count. No graph is displayed.
2. New Competition Slides – (Second Group Under ‘Insert Slide’ Menu)
a. Team MVP – Displays the individual participant on each team with the
most points. This feature requires a participant list, team and
correct answers. This slide is dynamically updated after each
question.
b. Racing Leader Board Slides - Provide a graphical display of the
Team Leader Board data in a three-part system. Stage 1 and Stage 2
are on the same slide (shown below). The teams will be displayed in
an even line at Stage 1. Upon activating the animation (Stage 2), the
objects will advance and display the winner of the current round. At
the completion of team competition slides, the Winner Slide (shown
below) displays.
Balloon Race is shown above. There is also a Horse Derby Race.
c. Wager Slide – Allows participants to wager a percentage of their
points on the next question slide. If the participant fails to correctly
answer the slide, the amount of points wagered is lost. IF the
participant successfully answers the question, they are awarded that
percentage of points.
3. New Special Slides – (Fourth Group Under ‘Insert Slide’ Menu)
a. Numeric Response Slide – Contains a question region to pose a
question, but does not contain an answer region or chart, since the
responses are entered manually through response devices.
4. Comparative Links Slide – This slide can be used to display the results
from two separate slides on one slide. For instance, ask a question in the
beginning of the presentation and then again towards the end and use a
comparative links slide to display the results from each time the question
was asked.
