Transcript of Video "Using Folders in Roper iPoll"

users who want to take full advantage of

all the functionality

of the roper center will want to use

their folder

that means you do have to make an

individual account if you don't have one

already

and make sure that you're logged in for

information on that please see the

authentication video

so we're going to start with a search

i'm going to search for climate change

you can see we have results on both the

question

and the study level

there is a symbol folder shaped

to the right and if you click that the

question will be added to your folder

you can also select all of the

results on that page and add them all at

once

or remove them all at once

so let's choose a few of these

fill up our folder

note that the folder turns blue when the

question has been added

you can also add studies

i filtered by downloadable data sets

moved over here to the right and added

this

study this means that you can save

not only questions and studies that are

in the question bank but our large

collection

of non-us polls and state level polls or

special population polls

that are only available at the study

level

can also be saved to your folder

now that you have stuff in your folder

you can go over to my folder and view it

and you see it has the same structure as

the rest of the website there's a

questions tab

and a studies tab to view a question

just click on it to close it up click it

again

if you would like to remove it you can

click the x

questions

close all the questions you can do that

here

if you go over to the left you have the

option to download in multiple formats

all of the questions that are on this

page

and you can also remove them all at once

if you want to view the studies in your

folder

just click over to that tab

three studies and there are five in
