You can now import questions directly from a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet into the Question Manager. Sharing questions with your colleagues is now easier as the export question functionality creates an xls file that is ready to import back into Question Manager.
From the main menu select Insert > Questions to open Question Manager.
Select Import
This is available
from Design View.
You can now browse to the file you wish to import.
Click Cancel to return to the Question Manager without making any changes.
Click on Open to add all the questions in the file to your flipchart.
To control whether the questions will be imported onto one single page or onto individual pages you need to select File > Settings and view Learner Response System. Remove the tick from Import Questions to new pages to create a Self-paced question set.
Put a tick in Import Questions to new pages to create an Instructor Paced question set.
The easiest way to create a file ready for import is to use the export facility within Question Manager. In ActivInspire v1.6 and above the export function creates a file that is ready to import. If you receive a file that was created in ActivInspire 1.5 or earlier it can still be imported but not all information will be available from the import and you will need to edit the questions manually within Question Manager.
