Tools

These components of GroupSystems I support and enhance the meeting process.

Agenda	The agenda displays the meeting sequence. It lists the tools that will be used during the meeting including the timeline.
Reports	The Reports feature allows you to create and view reports that summarize all or part of a meeting. Reports can be generated in text, RTF or Word format.
Categorizer	Create a variety of lists and put ideas into category ''buckets''. The contents of buckets are displayed as desired by each person. Category buckets can have many ideas that can be copied and moved to other categories, and each idea can have a list of many comments, each of which can have annotations added to them.
Electronic Brainstorming	Groups can generate a rapid-fire free-flow of ideas for creative problem solving. Brainstorming is designed for idea generation and creative group processes. While focusing on a specific question, the electronic equivalent of sheets of ''paper sheets'' are exchanged randomly among the participants.
Group Outliner	The Group Outliner tool allows groups to explore issues and develop action plans using a tree or outline structure. Here, group members can work in restricted areas of the outline and develop and re-organize ideas during discussions or as a follow-up activity.
Topic Commenter	Topic Commenter activities allow groups to generate ideas or give feedback to a presentation and assign their comments to pre-defined topics. Topics are represented as headings on file folders.
Vote	The Vote tool lets you evaluate issues, make choices and develop consensus using several voting methods. Rank order, 10-Point scale, Multiple selection, Yes/No, True/False, Agree/Disagree (5-point), Agree/Disagree (4-point), Custom methods.
Alternative Analysis	Teams of all types who need to make collaborative decisions require the evaluation of multiple perspectives and ideas. This is a powerful tool that promotes a higher level of collaboration and allows groups to successfully undertake more complex and controversial tasks.
Survey	Survey provides an automated, fast and efficient means of collecting information from a large number of respondents. Survey lets organizations gather, tabulate and analyze information critical to success. You get needed information faster and easier than ever before. Great for performance reviews, marketing focus groups, formal management surveys, and informal questionnaires are some typical uses.
