Simple, New Audience Polling
…in a
This PowerPoint presentation is your
guide to adding SNAP™ polling to your
next audience event, and contains
examples of multiple-choice questions
ready to be polled with SNAP!

A keypad system with software key must be attached
in order to poll for audience responses
Microsoft PowerPoint must be installed on your
computer and security set to allow active x controls
A presentation file that contains multiple-choice
questions formatted as enumerated lists (1,2,3 or
A,B,C) is needed
Microsoft Excel is also required if you want to export
the response data to a spreadsheet.
All of the above
SNAP automatically detects and
connects to an installed and attached
Fleetwood Reply Worldwide/Mini or
Plus/Mini+ keypad system.
You must have successfully completed the New
Hardware Wizard that installs the software drivers for
your specific system before you run SNAP. A Software
key must also be connected, or it will run in trial mode,
only polling keypads 1-5.
If SNAP does not detect an
attached keypad system, it
will run in Demo Mode
where response graphs are
created using randomly
generated data.
SNAP works with
Microsoft PowerPoint
versions 2003, 2007
and 2010 (32-bit only)
Support for Microsoft Operating
Systems includes XP, XP Pro, Vista,
Windows 7 and 8 – 32 & 64 bit.
Be sure to follow installation instructions properly. For Win 7 & 8 machines,
right-click on setup.exe and select “run as administrator”.
For PowerPoint 2010, be sure to put the SNAP subdirectory into the Trusted
Locations as well as enabling Macros and Active-X controls.
SNAP automatically recognizes any
slide containing an enumerated list as
a potential audience polling question
…So anyone with PowerPoint can
create presentations containing
questions ready for SNAP polling,
without the need for any special
software add-ins or objects.
Only the computer actually running
the presentation needs to have
SNAP installed.
Special Note: If you pass a presentation for
modification that already has SNAP controls
included, it is important for the person modifying to
have SNAP installed – have them go to
www.snap-ars.com and download the trial version.
Use the ‘enumerated
list’ icon on the toolbar
to change a text box on
your slide to the format
recognized by SNAP as
a polling question
SNAP exports saved response
data into MS-Excel
spreadsheet and HTML
document formats
You can also generate a PowerPoint file of
your presentation with SNAP response graphs
included that is suitable for viewing on
computers without SNAP software installed.
How do I use SNAP?

Connect your keypad system, or install the SNAP software,
connect your hasp/software key or be prepared to enter base
key and run SNAP
Press the Test Keypads button and press numbers on
keypads to ensure proper communication.
Using SNAP, open your PowerPoint file and start the
slideshow
Control your slideshow as you would normally
When you reach a slide containing a question, just click the
SNAP trigger on the screen to start audience polling
Note: If you have selected the option to not automatically show the graph (for
evaluation questions, etc.), the icon will change to show a graph symbol – click to
show the graph or advance the slide to bypass.

Is this easy or what?
When you attach your keypad system
to a computer for the first time, a “New
Hardware” wizard will appear.
Make sure you
successfully complete the
wizard before trying to
install or use SNAP.
Remember that for Reply
Worldwide/Mini the Wizard
will run twice – once for
hardware and once for
Serial to USB conversion.
Note: For Win 7 or 8 machines,
you will need to make sure the
User Account Control is turned
off for the installation to be
completed correctly.
Once installed, SNAP
places a shortcut icon on
your computer’s Windows
desktop.
Double-click the desktop icon
to launch
SNAP, or use the taskbar ‘Start’ button and
navigate the menu to ‘Programs/ARS
Applications/ARS Snap.
SNAP automatically
recognizes the kind
of keypad system
you have attached.
Use the ‘Test Keypads’
button to check that
your system is working,
and to access system
management options.
Response numbers that
you press on the keypads
are displayed on the map
in locations that
correspond to the keypad
address numbers
The ‘System’ menu gives you
additional keypad system
management options to choose
from, including a ‘Check In’
function to help you verify that all
your keypads have been
returned after your meeting.
Use SNAP to select your
PowerPoint presentation
SNAP automatically
loads the last file
you selected, or you
can
to a new
presentation file.
Once selected, use
SNAP to
SNAP recognizes slides containing
enumerated lists as potential audience
polling questions, and automatically places a
SNAP Trigger
or Poller on them
Just click on
the trigger to
start the
countdown
clock
SNAP Trigger
When you trigger a SNAP poll, a count-down timer runs
while responses are being collected, and then a graph of
the responses is shown labeled with the text of each of
the multiple choices
Left-click again when you are ready to
move on to the next slide in the
presentation
If you right-click you can go back to
the question - toggling between the
two screens if needed.
Special notes
about the clock:
• If you want to end the clock early, just left-click on the clock to stop it and
display the graph.
• If someone has a question and you need to pause the clock, right-click on the
clock to pause it.
• While the clock is paused, participants can still respond on their keypads and
their responses will be collected.
• Simple right-click again to un-pause the clock or left-click to stop the clock
and display the graph.
If you want to change the clock time, then you have to do one of these two
series of actions:
1. Go to the options tab, press the button to remove the pollers, change the time you want on
the timer tab and then Start the slideshow again to let SNAP re-insert the triggers/pollers
with the desired time.
2. Revise the time on the poller property – accessed through the “Show PowerPoint” button.
What options do I have for
Time Clocks and Graphs?
SNAP defaults to graph and clock
styles that work well with most
PowerPoint files. Additional graph
templates can be selected in the
‘Options’ tab to more closely match
your specific background color.
You can edit and save changes to
some elements of the graph
Additional Clock styles / timer
templates can also be chosen along
with Timer Play List or music you
want during the countdown
A ‘Preview’ button lets you see how
your SNAP polls will look before you
start.
Graph
Options
You can create a new graph
template by selecting “Edit”
and revising options for
setting how you want the
graph to appear. Selecting
“Save as” allows you to give
the new template a name.
A ‘Preview’ button lets you
see how your SNAP polls
will look before you start.
Clock
Options
You can create a new timer or clock
template by selecting “Edit” . The
Clock Setup screen displays and
provides options for setting the size
and colors of how you want the clock
to appear. Selecting “Save as” allows
you to give the new template a name.
A ‘Preview’ button lets you see how
your clock will look before you start.
Other clock elements include:
• Adding a live tally to show how many
keypads are responding
• Timer Play List or music you would
like played during the timer
• Position of the timers
• Time limit in seconds
Tip: You can set the
timer long and click it
a second time to stop
and display results
What can I do with my SNAP
polling data when I am done
with my presentation?
1. Excel Spreadsheets with individual and
summarized responses
2. Excel Spreadsheet that includes
filtered/subgroup data
3. HTML format of response graphs
4. PowerPoint presentation that includes graphs
of audience poll response
5. ALL OF THE ABOVE
Getting your data is a SNAP…
SNAP exports response data to
Excel in individual and
summary forms.
Optionally, SNAP captures
images of your entire
presentation including response
graphs, that can be used to
build a PowerPoint file or an
HTML document suitable for
viewing and distribution.
Just be sure to check this box
on the options page.
Re-Running a
Presentation
When you select a presentation to start that already contains
questions polled with SNAP, you must specify what you want
to do with the response data already collected.
SNAP gives you three
options, that include
keeping the data,
clearing it, or making a
backup copy of the
presentation before
clearing the data.
More options after you
are done
When you re-run a presentation that
contains questions polled with SNAP, the
trigger is replaced by a graph icon
.
Left-click on the graph icon to redisplay the
previously collected data, or right-click it to
reset the trigger so it can poll the question
again. Note: If you right-click by mistake, just do it
again to get the data back. Once you re-poll the question,
the first set of data is replaced.
You can also select to NOT automatically
graph after each question during the
presentation.
Lots of advanced capabilities
have been added since the
SNAP Starter Version
• Single Filter / subgroup display / reporting
• Simple Gaming – up to 10 teams with ability for correct by team & team
standings graphs
• Top x (up to 10) individual scores for individual competition
• Rostering / Individual Tracking by Name or Keypad Number
• Pre-test / Post-test Comparative Graphing
• Flexible control – placement of SNAP on pages that do not have the
question options as an enumerated list
• Impromptu Questions
• Rank Poll / Select all that apply Questions
• Control of the presentation and graph displays using a “Master Keypad”
that you define
• Expanded Reporting with team / individual scoring and by Filter
Subgroup
Let’s cover each of these
Advanced capabilities in a little
more detail
All of the Advanced options
require a little more set-up
time since the program can
not automatically detect how
you want the program to
respond.
You need to first let SNAP
know what options you want
to use on the advanced tabs
and how you want your
graphs to look.
Let’s cover each of these
Advanced capabilities in a little
more detail
Once you have specified that you are going to use options on
the advanced tabs, the easiest way to get started is to go to the
start tab and then select the start slide show button.
You will first receive this warning message reminding you that
you need to define your filter and team question.
Press Yes to continue to PowerPoint. This will allow the program to
detect and drop a polling trigger on each page with an enumerated list.
Let’s cover each of these
Advanced capabilities in a little
more detail
When you continue to PowerPoint, the
program automatically adds
SnapDesign into your PowerPoint as
an add-in – you don’t need to do
anything special, although you will
need to make sure that your security
will allow for add-ins and active x
controls to operate.
You then get the SNAP Toolbar
automatically added to your
desktop toolbars list. In
PowerPoint 2007, it is on the
add-ins tab.
Let’s cover each of these
Advanced capabilities in a little
more detail
Each slide that contains an
enumerated list, will then
automatically have a polling trigger
on the page.
You can click the SNAP Properties
button on the toolbar to see and
edit the SNAP Properties.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail:
Single Filter / subgroup display / reporting:
A filter is simply a subgroup of your overall
audience. To define a subgroup, you ask a
question of the audience that will break them
down into the categories you desire. That
“Type of Question” in properties must be set to
Filter Question.
For example, their specialty, position or title,
how long they have been with the organization,
male/female, there are a wide variety of ways to
think about subgroups of an audience. You just
have to determine what is important to you in
reporting and/or what subgroup data that might
be displayed, to help promote discussion within
the group.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail: Simple Gaming
Up to 10 teams – correct by team & team
standings graphs (cont.):
Simple Gaming – up to 10 teams – correct
by team & team standings graphs:
A simple game can be played with SNAP,
two basic elements are required:
• Team Question – To define your teams (up
to 10) – which team does each keypad
belong to
• Questions with Correct Answers and Points
– for each game question define a correct
answer by giving it a point value
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail: Simple Gaming
Up to 10 teams – correct by team & team
standings graphs (cont.):
Sample Team Question:
Make sure you select Team Question in your list.
What team are you on?
1. Eagles
2. Tigers
3. Wolves
4. Bears
5. Bobcats
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail: Simple Gaming
Up to 10 teams – correct by team & team
standings graphs (cont.):
After you have polled each game question, you have the option
of showing:
• Correct By Team – the percentage of each team that answered the
question correctly
• Team Standings – The total point value or overall percentage of correct
answers for each team in total. This is typically shown as points –
points are calculated by taking the percentage of each team that
answered the question correctly multiplied by the point value.
• Top Scores - Top scoring individuals – X - up to 10 as defined on the
advanced options page. This display is by keypad #, or if an
idbase/roster has been conducted, may be by name.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail:
Rostering/Individual Tracking by Name
You may want to have participants names
displayed for the top X scores and/or you may
want to track scoring and have individual
names available for your printed reports.
There are two options available, depending on
the keypad system you are using.
• For multi-digit keypads, you can ask a roster
question and have participants input an id
number which will be matched up with the
participant id file you create. (Plus or Mini+ enter the number and press SEND)
• For single-digit keypad (Mini or Worldwide),
you can auto-roster – id number = keypad
number – 2nd option selected.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail:
Pre-test / Post-test comparative graphing
SNAP will allow you to compare results for two
questions in a pre-test / post-test fashion.
To set-up a comparison graph, go to the first “pre-test”
question and press the “Copy ID” button beside the
Slide ID blank slot. A slide ID will display.
Next, go to the “post-test” question and press the Paste
ID button beside the Compare to Slide blank slot. The
pre-test slide ID will display.
That’s all there is to it!
Note that the graph will use the slide synopsis/title for
on-screen display, so make sure it is appropriate.
Note that on the options page, you can select if you
want the graphs display top and bottom or left to right.
Also , you can select to NOT have the correct answer
highlighted on the pre-test questions, your preference.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced capabilities
in a little more detail: Flexible control –
placement of SNAP on pages that do not have
the question options as an enumerated list
If you receive a PowerPoint presentation
that contains slides that do not have an
enumerated list, you have the option of
dropping a SNAP control on the page.
You click the “Add SNAP” button on the
toolbar to add and edit the SNAP Properties
for the appropriate number of choices and
correct choice if applicable. Filter or Team
questions must use enumerated lists.
If time allows, it is most desirable to go
through the presentation and make question
choices enumerated lists to get the text of
the choices on the graph display, otherwise,
it will display generic choices 1,2,3, etc.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Impromptu Questions
When you are in the middle of a presentation and discussion leads you to
the need to poll a question on the fly – impromptu style – or, if you have
missed a question that did not have an enumerated list on it, you can poll it
as an impromptu.
The graph will display generic choices 1,2,3, etc.
You have the ability to change the number of choices, or leave it set to 10.
Simply click the SNAP Advanced icon
in the bottom left corner to
access the impromptu Menu – if you have no team or filter question defined,
you have a short window,
if they are defined,
you will see a long window.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Impromptu Questions
When you poll an impromptu question, the program follows
these rules:
• If you’re on a slide that does NOT have a trigger, a trigger is
inserted on THAT slide
• If you’re on a slide that has an UNPOLLED trigger, a new
slide with a trigger will be inserted BEFORE the current slide.
• If you’re on a slide that has a POLLED trigger, a new slide
with a trigger will be inserted AFTER the current slide.
These rules assure that an unpolled slide is never skipped
over when an impromptu question is polled.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Rank Poll Question
SNAP! supports multi-digit polling using the Reply
Plus and Mini+ keypad systems.
Rank Poll – Ranking Question
In a ranking question, you ask your audience to
select choices in order by a criterion you specify.
You may have them rank all the choices
presented, or only a certain number of 'top'
choices.
For a ranking question, the Question Type in the
SNAP Properties of the slide must be set to
'Ranking Poll'. For a ranking question, resulting
response graph shows the frequency with which
each choice was selected, sorted in order of
preference high to low, with the results weighted
by the order in which they were selected.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Multiple Selection Question
Multiple-Selection Question
In a multiple-selection question, you ask your
audience to pick only the choices that apply to the
question you are asking. For a multiple-selection
question, the Question Type in the SNAP
Properties of the slide must be set to 'Multipleselection question'.
For a multiple-selection poll, the resulting
response graph shows the frequency with which
each choice was selected, sorted in order of
preference high to low.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Rank and Multiple-selection graphs
For Rank and Multipleselection graphs to display
properly, with the frequencies,
as opposed to percentage, it
is important to have this box
checked on the options tab.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Control of the presentation using a
“Master Keypad” that you define.
Make sure the “Use master keypad to
control presentation” is selected and
provide the keypad address number you
plan to use. This keypad becomes
available for presentation control only.
Note that you should practice with the
master keypad and get used to the pace
of the unit. Depending on where the
base station is on it’s collection cycle,
your keypress may be immediate, or it
may take 2 seconds to react to the
keypress. It is handy to use the keypad
though, so make sure you practice with it
to get used to the pace.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Control of the presentation using a
“Master Keypad” that you define.
Keys that are used include:
1 = Slide advance forward
2 = Slide advance backward
3 = Select polling trigger – poll question or display
graph – depending on condition of the trigger
4 = Filter graph rotation – if you have defined a filter
graph this key rotates through the subgroups
and back to the audience as a whole.
5 = Impromptu Question
6 = Correct By Team graph
7 = Team Standing Graph
8 = Top Scores Display
0 = Displays/Hides Advanced icon
Note that if you are using the Reply Mini
System and will be using SNAP Advanced
with game applications, you may want to
purchase one Reply Worldwide keypad to
use as the master keypad – it talks to the
same base station and can be used
together with Mini.
Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
What if I don’t want to use the Master Keypad?
If you elect not to use the master keypad, all of the controls are still
accessible:
Slide advance forward & Slide advance backward – normal PowerPoint
controls – page up/down – left mouse, mouse roller, right click for
navigation menu, keyboard controls (N for Next, P for Previous, etc.)
Select polling trigger – poll question or display graph – depending on
position of the trigger – Left mouse click to start the polling. Right-click
to delete data and re-poll the question with a second left-click.
Filter graph display, Impromptu Question, Correct By Team graph, Team
Standing Graph and Top Scores Display – all accessible by left-clicking
the SNAP Advanced icon in the bottom left corner.

Expanded Reporting with Scoring and
by Filter Subgroup
SNAP tracks how each individual
keypad scored on any question with
a correct answer and points. The
points are reported in a column of
the “Individual data to Excel” report
option. If you have rostered
participants, names are displayed
with the score.
Team Scores are also available to
export to Excel – it shows how the
teams scored on each
question/slide.

Let’s cover each of these Advanced
capabilities in a little more detail:
Expanded Reporting with Scoring and
by Filter Subgroup
It can be very useful to report the data by
filter subgroup along with the “Questions and
Summary to Excel” combined data report –
just select the subgroups you wanted added
to the report and an additional column is
added to the right with the appropriate data.
SNAP – I’ve got SNAP Starter, how do I
get upgraded to SNAP?
As you can see, there are a lot of great features and
reasons to expand SNAP Starter to SNAP.
The software key or hasp that you are using indicates
to the program which version you are authorized to
use. If you are using 100 or fewer keypads, you can
purchase a code to match your base station. To poll
more than 100, up to your maximum base capacity (250
for Mini/Worldwide or 500 for Plus/Mini+), you need
to upgrade your hasp.
Contact our sales / support department to purchase an
upgrade, or your initial copy of SNAP.
