Option

Description

Name

 

ActivInspire allocates default names to flipchart objects, for example, Shape1, Shape2.

You can select and change the default name.

Keywords

 

One or more words that identify the object.

Two ways to enter keywords:

  • Click on the Keywords box and begin typing. Separate individual keywords by a space.

  • Click on the Keywords Editor icon [...], click on Add and begin typing. Use the Keywords Editor to add, move and remove keywords.

Use keywords with containers. If you set a container so that it can contain an object with a particular keyword, for example, 'animal', any object with the keyword 'animal' can be contained by that container.

Description

 

Only applies to pages.

Allows you to include instructions or comments about a specific page in the description area. This can be used to describe how the page has been set up, for example, if you share pages with fellow teachers and you have created some complex object properties or actions.

Question Tag

 

A multi-answer question produced by the Question Wizard or ExpressPoll has three types of text objects:

  • With Question

  • Option

  • Label tags

The tag numbers let you see the answer / option pairings – this can be useful when you edit and reformat the text, or move answers around.

If you nominated a correct answer with the Question Wizard, this information is contained within the 'Label' tag. When the corresponding answer is returned by voters, it is highlighted green in the results display. Nominate a new correct answer by placing it next to the object with the appropriate 'Label' number.

 You cannot generate a question and start a vote by applying tags to text entered outside of the Question Wizard or ExpressPoll.
