Our New Segmentation Feature Amps Up Your Poll Data

Toay we’re announcing… dun dun duuuuunnnn…

Segmentation

Also known as team scoring, cross-tabbing, pivot tables, stacked bars, or correlation.  In short, it’s how you combine data from multiple polls to show something fun or interesting, and present it in a live chart.

Here are the main takeaways from the video:

1. Say you want to know if the professors in the audience are more into wikis, and plumbers are more into leaks.  How do you combine them? This dosn’t really work:

2. So instead, click “Settings”, “Chart”, and under Response Segmentation, “Enable”.

What_are_you_into

3. Then marvel at your live segmented results.

What_are_you_into

You can see from this example that 70% of Plumbers are into Leaks and 78% of Professors are into Leaks.  

This is a great tool for our corporate customers who have conferences, team building events, or trainings. We saw this used in Vegas and people literally screamed and cheered for their teams when the results turned.  Obviously educators love it as well – it’s how you can score an entire quiz.

The possibilities are endless. 

Here are some of the powerful options with Segmentation:

  • Show the combined correctness (and optionally, incorrectness and non-participation) of many polls at once, even broken down into teams. Have this data in table or chart format.
  • Combine responses from all the runs of a poll, or only the most recent run (since you last cleared it out)
  • Count people who didn’t participate on a poll as an incorrect answer for that team, or just leave them out of the counts
  • Show data as either a % of the segment sizes (so small teams with 90/100 answers correct are shown equal to large teams with 900/1000 answers correct), or on absolute scales.
  • Show the data axis and percentages in each bar, or leave them off for simple and clean visual displays
  • Customize all colors
  • Generate cross-tab or correlation tables for copy-paste to Excel

This is the most powerful, polished feature we’ve released to date. Enjoy!
