Key Features of OptionFinder -
Audience Response System
The OptionFinder audience response system feature sets have long been the
standard for decision-making, risk assessment and consensus-building within
interactive meetings. OptionFinder is an audience response system software
that provides a number of key polling and meeting support tools, used to build
meeting agendas:
List Processing facilitates the evaluation or prioritization of any type of list.
Criteria can be rated on a scale or prioritized through forced-choice paired
comparisons. An unlimited number of criteria can be used to assess the
elements in the list.
Question exercises provide flexibility in the way that questions are posed to
the participants. Two specialized forms of questions permit On-the-Fly
Question creation in the meeting.
Grouping allows you to categorize meeting participants into an unlimited
number of demographic groups, permitting you to slice the data and see how
different groups align. For instance, you can review how each department
voted on a new strategic planning initiative.

During the meeting

Meeting Agenda Format
OptionFinder uses a meeting agenda as a base for all steps in the meeting
process.

By placing the meeting process on the public agenda screen, both the
facilitator and the audience have a reference point that identifies where they
are in the meeting.

Multiple Sub-group Comparison Methods
Drill down into the polling data to compare how the constituent groups voted
in relation to each other.

Decision Support Tools
Decision support capabilities allow you to prioritize items on one or more
criteria, using either multiple choice scales or forced-choice comparisons.
Easily rank order and prioritize lists using List Processing.

On-the-Fly Question Capability for Instant Polling
Audience response systems allow verbal or written questions which come up
during the meeting to be presented and polled immediately.

Clean Uncluttered Polling Screens
Less clutter on the screen makes it easy for the audience to understand the
data being presented.

Flexible In-Meeting Controls
You asked, and we delivered! OptionFinder version 5.2 added and/or
significantly improved tools to enhance in-meeting flexibility. You can now
back up or skip forward during polls. You can run an impromptu question
anytime, regardless of what is showing on the screen, and you can easily
replace the data for a poll by re-polling when discussion indicates
misunderstanding.

Polling Sequences and Results Displays
Easily set up the sequence behaviors to have OptionFinder present the
questions and charts any way you choose.

Pop-Up Menus
Convenient pop-up menus display options and commands with a simple
mouse click. If you forget the Hot Keys, the right click menu will prompt you.

After the meeting

Reporting Options
OptionFinder can display results in a variety of ways, including red-yellow-
green "stop light" coloring, and two-axis, X-Y plots of multi-factor data.

OptionFinder's sophisticated reporting system produces spreadsheet tables
of summary data and printouts of graphs in a variety of report formats. Any of
the OptionFinder polling screens or graphs can be copied and pasted to
word processing or presentation software. You can easily get to your data for
analysis and sharing via email, creating data velocity within your organization.

Consolidation of Data Across Meetings
If you run the same process more than once, you can merge the data from
multiple sessions into a single data set for convenient reporting.
