How Attendee Questions pod works
Please note: there is a maximum of 100 questions which can be displayed in each section of the attendee's pod at any time (i.e Priority/Inbox/Trash)
To ensure you are able to see all questions submitted please be mindful of the volume of questions you are receiving and move them out of Inbox to Priority or Trash as needed.
All questions will be available in the event reporting.
Inbox
All attendee questions submitted will first arrive in the Inbox tab/section of the Attendee Question pod. To view the attendee details click on the question. Here you will see some further options available to you.

Here you will be able to reply to the questions posted. When replying you will have the option to Reply Privately or Reply Publicly. You can also see all previous questions and answers for that attendee by scrolling down which allows you to track the conversation.
Priority
In order to sort your questions during a live session, you are able to mark them as a priority. This moves them to the Priority section of the page so you can sort them before answering.
Within Priority you have the same functionality as within the inbox including; Reply Privately, Reply Publically, Re-ordering, Mark as answered and Mark as public.
Moving questions to Priority does not have any influence on the attendee view.
Trash
In order to further sort your questions, you can move any to the trash folder. This allows you to filter out non-relevant questions, meaning you can focus on the important questions.
Once a question is in the Trash it cannot be seen by the attendee and cannot be replied to.
A question can be moved back to the Inbox or Priority from Trash using the relevant action button.
Empty trash - You can empty the trash at any time by clicking the Empty Trash button. These questions will then disappear from the Attendee questions pod but will still be available in your event reporting.
