Moderations

With a moderator, you collect questions from the audience, for example, for a Q&A after a keynote or a panel discussion. Guests submit their questions via a form. You see the collected questions and can display them on a stage.

Here's how to find it: Main Menu → Moderations

Overview #

The list displays the name, both placeholders, and the number of questions received. It also includes duplicate and delete modes, as well as a "Add new moderator" button.

Fields and options #

Generally

• name (Required): The placeholder is created from the name. For example, "KB Demo-Moderation" becomes... KB_DEMO_MODERATION.
• After the first save, two placeholders appear, each with a "Copy to clipboard" button:
  • %QUESTION_FORM(NAME)% displays the form through which guests can ask a question.
  • %ASKED_QUESTIONS(NAME)% displays the list of questions asked.

Settings

• Question answerer: Under "Add question answerer," you specify who guests can address their questions to, such as speakers or moderators. For each question answerer, you can enable "Visible in grouped questions.".
• Show questions grouped together (Yes/No): The questions are displayed grouped by answerer. This is useful for panels.

There is also something at the top. Save as a template and Load content from template.

Here's how to set up a Q&A #

1. Create a moderation with a name and save it.
2. Copy %QUESTION_FORM(NAME)% and insert the placeholder under "Director" into the HTML content of the desired stage.
3. If you also want the questions to appear on stage, add... %ASKED_QUESTIONS(NAME)% a.

Frequently Asked Questions #

• Can I change the name later? Yes. But then check if the placeholder has changed and adjust it on the stages.
