Settings, license and manual

At the top of the sidebar are the areas of LehrPuls, at the bottom the tools: the Projector switch shows or hides the projector window, Second window opens another view (for example Topics & Questions next to the playlist), Messages collects all notices of the current program run; below it you choose the language of the interface and the content language of your questions. At the very bottom the sidebar collapses.

There are two languages to tell apart: the language (button “EN”) switches the interface. The content language (“Content: EN”) determines in which version your questions, topics and playlists appear in lists and previews — useful when you maintain questions in two languages. Which languages are available is set under Settings → Content languages.

Under License you see whom LehrPuls is licensed to, the license type and the purchase date. Without a license, LehrPuls runs as a trial version with full functionality but at most six participants per session. Paste your license key into the field and click Activate — this works without internet, too. Get a license leads to the order page.

The complete Manual is built in: on the left the table of contents, on the right the text. Many pages have a Read in the manual button that jumps straight to the matching chapter. The PDF icon opens the manual as a PDF, for example for printing.

LehrPuls comes with samples: topics, questions of all types, playlists and sessions with answers — for trying things out without creating anything of your own. Hide samples hides them in all lists. If samples have been changed or deleted, Restore samples brings back the shipped state; Remove samples deletes them completely. Above that you choose the Language of the samples.

Deleted topics, questions, playlists, courses and sessions go to the Recycle bin first. Restore brings an entry back together with its content; after the Retention period (default 30 days) it disappears for good. Empty recycle bin deletes everything in it right away.

Session & projector sets what is preset when a session starts: whether it opens and closes the projector window, whether the timer runs, whether review on the device is allowed and how long an online join code stays reserved. Under Analytics you choose whether a session first appears as an analysis, whether names are shown anonymized and from how many people on distributions are shown.

Content languages determines in which languages you maintain questions; you add another one with its code and name. The Database card shows where your data is stored. Back up database… puts a copy into a folder of your choice, Merge database… takes over the database of another computer. With a data folder, for example on OneDrive, you work with the same data on several computers.

Under Updates you set whether and how often LehrPuls looks for a new version; the start page announces a new one. Appearance switches between light, dark and the system setting — the projector always stays light. Overlay on your presentation sets in which corner the small card with the code and the number of answers appears over your presentation.
