Before installing the software on a PC, make sure that all available Microsoft Windows and Office updates have been installed on your computer. If you have an older version of Qwizdom Actionpoint on your computer, uninstall the program through the computer’s Control Panel. (If you have an older Red RF Host, be sure to plug it into the USB port before installing Actionpoint. See Hardware Setup for details.)

Creating a Participant List
Importing a .CSV (Comma Delimited) File
You can import a .CSV (comma delimited) file and convert it into a Qwizdom participant list (.QPL).
Please Note: If you have a class list in Microsoft Excel® you would like to import, save them as .CSV(comma delimited) file.
Creating an Anonymous List
Before using an anonymous list, be sure you have the correct estimated number of remotes set within the Configuration Settings window. For example, if you create an anonymous list with a hundred participants but only have eighty as the estimated number of remotes, then not all remotes will register.
Creating a Self-Forming List
This option lets participants add themselves to list during a live presentation. Participants are identified by an unique User ID number. We recommend using an assigned employee or student ID number for easier tracking.

If setting up remotes for the first time we recommend the following steps. Note: You will only have to do this once. Be sure the HID (black) host, or RF (red) host is properly installed and plugged in before proceeding see Hardware Setup for details.
Other Settings & Explanations:
Assign Remote IDs
Remotes received in 2011 or earlier need to be set up once, prior to use, with computer-assigned ID numbers. Newer remotes, received in 2012 or later, already come with pre-assigned numbers, matching their affixed stickers, so no additional setup is required.
Assign Remote IDs – Q4 Remotes with Firmware Older than Version 1.34
The following directions only apply for customers on a PC, using Q4 remotes older than version 1.34. (The Q4 firmware number is displayed on the remote’s screen when the remote is first turned on.)
Changing Session IDs
If the RF remote displays No Net, Not Found, Not Active, or Inactive, it could be that the Session ID is not correct.
What is a Session ID?
Each host/receiver has a unique six-digit called a Session ID number. Session IDs “assign” the remote to the host, allowing the remote to only communicate with that specific host.
The Session IDs can be found:
For both HID and RF Host, the Session ID can be found in the Remote Assignments window, the Device Settings tab in the Presentation Setup window, and the Login tab of the Qwizdom Toolbar during a presentation. Session ID is also displayed at the top of the Qwizdom Tools menu: click Qwizdom Tools, found in the lower right-hand corner of the Windows Taskbar (next to the clock).
For the RF (Red) Host, the Session ID is printed on a white sticker affixed to the bottom of the device.
You can also create your own Session ID in the Presentation Setup window. Creating your own Session ID does not change the host’s default Session ID. See Presentation Setup for details. The Session ID must be unique because if there are other hosts in the same building, the remotes will become confused about the host with which they are to communicate.

Qwizdom software includes 5 Qwizdom Notes+ licenses that allow for classroom collaboration. (Additional licenses are available for a fee–email info@qwidom.com for pricing.)
Participants can view live lessons, respond, share annotations, take notes, and save presentations for review, using any tablet or laptop on the same local network as the presenter.

Participants Join Presentation
Alternatively, if participants do not have the Qwizdom Notes+ App, but have internet-enabled computers, they can type the local IP address of the presenter’s computer into a web browser, on port 8080. For example 192.168.1.120:8080. (In this case, the port number ‘8080’ is needed in order to join the session.)
(Note: browser version does not contain the same feature set as the app, such as saving and adding notes.)
Enable Collaboration

I just installed Actionpoint but the toolbar is not appearing.
In the Windows version of Actionpoint, opening the program should cause PowerPoint® to open, with an Actionpoint tab added into the PowerPoint® toolbar. If your PowerPoint toolbar does not appear when opening Actionpoint, check to make sure that all Windows and Office updates have been installed on your computer. Install all available Microsoft updates, restart the computer if required then reopen Actionpoint. The toolbar should appear. If you still encounter problems, please email us at support@qwizdom.com.
The toolbar was present, but now disappeared. How do I get it back?
Actionpoint may have closed due to an error and disabled 3rd party add-ins.
