Custom splits can be created ahead of a session and be saved for its later use. Steps to follow:
- Open the Administrator view and check that all members have been correctly added to room (name, email, position) and have been given their corresponding role (Participant or Remote Presenter)
- Open the Presenter view and create the split:
- Go to “Menu” (top left) > “Split into rooms”
- Choose “Custom” Split type
- They are available anytime, even with no people connected to room
- Select the number of participants per group and the time the split will last
- Splits can be stopped before scheduled end (after running for 5’) but cannot be extended
- Make the groups, picking out the participants on each one
- All participants (connected and not) need to be assigned to a group
- Only Participants are eligible for Splits; other room members such as Presenter, Remote Presenters, Assistant and Translators are not
- Once the Split Rooms List appears, with all the groups and participants within, click “save & close”
- Choose a name and click “Save”
- All saved splits will be stored in the “Saved Splits” panel
- Room can be now closed
- How to use the Saved Splitduring a session:
- Go to “Menu” (top left) > “Split into rooms”
- Open “Saved Splits” on the top right corner
- Choose the desired Split from the list and click on the “View” icon
- Note that any Saved Split can be deleted using the “Bin” icon
- Groups can be now edited or used as they are
- Click on “Update & Close” or “Split Now”
Important info
- Groups won't be accessible if room is modified after Split configuration is saved, this is:
- If membership is changed (members are added to or removed from room)
- If roles are changed (Participant ↔ Remote Presenter)
- In that case, a message will display when trying to view the Saved Split:
- “Room has changed and this Saved Split is no longer valid. Confirm deletion or cancel”
- Note that it won’t be possible to edit the Saved Split at this moment, only potions available are:
- Delete the Saved Split - clicking on “Delete” button
- Cancel - clicking on the “X” button on top right corner
- If room configuration (membership or roles) is changed back, the Saved Split can be launched
