What is the ppvote Participant List?

The Participant List is a very simple Excel spreadsheet where you can store various data about your voters.

Common uses are:

To store the voter names, so that when you run the data export, it shows votes by name rather than keypad number
To store additional voter information, such as their employee or membership ID
To weight the votes for specific keypads. This is commonly used in AGMs
To simply add columns to your data export to allow you to add more information per voter to the spreadsheet after your voting session

You can create a new Participant List by opening your voting presentation and in the PowerPoint ribbon bar going to Add-ins > CLiKAPAD > Set up > Participants. This will open a spreadsheet that is automatically saved to the same folder as your presentation.

You can use a Participant List that has been used for a previous presentation. Simply save a copy to the folder where the voting presentation is stored.

Key things to remember:

You must NOT change the name of this file. The software is looking only for a file called ppvote Participant list.

You must keep this file in the same folder as your presentation as that is the only location that the voting software will check.
