How to create a Matrix
Become more productive by using the Beekast Matrix activity. Inspired by management methods, this tool will help you prioritize your tasks and redefine your strategy.
How to add a Matrix activity
To add an activity, click on Add a slide at the top left of your session, then scroll down until you see the Matrix activity and click on it.
When you choose the “Matrix” activity, the interface adapts instantly: a dedicated editing panel appears on the right of your screen, allowing you to customise your activity. At the same time, the system automatically saves your activity with the same name as the newly created activity (in this case, Matrix) and integrates it into your presentation, visible as a slide in the left-hand navigation bar.
Title and Instructions
- Customise your Matrix activity! By default, the title is the same as the activity name. To change it, delete the automatic title and enter your own question or a customised title.
- Add an instruction to give more details about your activity. This option is optional.
Activity format
You can choose between the grid or the quadrant. By choosing the grid, you can add a colour gradient or not, while with the quadrant, you can choose the colour and assign a name to each unit in the quadrant.
You can also rename the axes.
Enter the items to be assessed (between 2 and 20 items). Click on Add a proposal to add new items.
Click on the bin icon to delete an item. All deletions are final.
Launch settings
To make your activity even more dynamic, you can choose to display a Stopwatch or a Timer (to determine the duration of your activity).
Presentation settings and Results
- You can choose to display the number of participants live
- Choose how you would like the results of your activity to be displayed, either in real time (Live) or at the end of the activity.
Start your activity
In the facilitator control mode, you will have a button to Start your activity in the top right corner, which allows your participants to participate.
To participate, participants will need to click and drag and drop the elements onto the matrix according to the axes.
The points are placed in real-time on the matrix according to the participants' choices. They will have to click on Submit to validate their participation.
The activity's options
You can perform the following actions on your activity at any time:
1. Reset
2. Edit
3. Duplicate
4. Delete
