Overview

Q&A Name Visibility allows moderators to create Q&A sessions where questions are publicly associated to the person asking them. This is preferable in situations where the event is more interactive and therefore questions serve as the starting point of interaction.

Attendees will be notified that their name will be attached to a question while asking it, as shown in the image below, highlighted in yellow:
 

Requirements

Q&A Name Visibility must be configured for the app by an Administrator on the Advanced Settings page: Advanced Settings & Other App Configurations.

Once this has been configured, and in order to associate names to Q&A questions, moderators must first configure the Required Attendee Identification Fields to require First / Last name, and the attendee must be checked in to the session with a name associated.

Enable Name Visibility When Creating a Session

1. Sign in as an Admin
2. Click Manage Sessions
3. Click Create a New Session or Edit Under a Current Session
4. Check the box next to Show attendee names for Q&A submission? 

Enable Name Visibility in Bulk

1. Sign in as an Admin
2. Click Manage Sessions
3. Click Bulk Actions or scroll to the bottom of the page
4. Click Update Feature Settings 

5. Click Enable next to Q&A Attendee Name 

   

6. Click Apply Changes

Note: Bulk changes will only apply to sessions that have already been created, so the above process should be repeated when new sessions are added. 

Enabling Name Visibility Directly in a Session

1. Sign in to a Session as a Moderator
2. Click Session Settings
3. Click Enable/Disable Features
4. Click the Lock Button next to Show Names with Q&A to toggle the feature

Notes

Only questions asked while the visibility feature is enabled will display names. A question asked while the feature is disabled will not display a name if later enabled. This is to better protect the privacy of attendees who asked questions while Q&A anonymity was enabled.

Administrative data is not affected by this feature. Admins can still export session data to see data associated with each user. This feature is a cosmetic front-end configuration to allow other attendees to see who asked questions in order to facilitate different types of learning and engagement.

Attendees cannot change or modify their display name explicitly for Q&A purposes or otherwise opt-out of associating their name to a question while the feature is enabled.
