If you want to organize a workshop with DEON, you will find the following functions useful.
1 Pad Mode
When you switch to Pad mode, DEON appears with a very reduced user interface. This is perfect if you want to use multiple computers (e.g. tablets) during a workshop just for simple text input, doodles, photos or websites.
TIP Without installing DEON, you can also use the DEON Web App Lite to send text charts to projects (e.g. from a smartphone) or the DEON Web App for Desktop.
To switch to pad mode, press “Enter Pad Mode” 
in the bottom left corner of the DEON start screen. Then simply load any project.
Content you create in pad mode will be sent to the inbox of this project after you press the send button in the top right corner or when you simply swipe the content up. You can then drag the content from the inbox into your workspace.
In addition to text and doodles, you can also take photos, transfer files or entire websites: 
2 iOS Apps
The DEON App for iPad is available in the App Store for both Cloud and On Premises.
For iPhone and iPad, you can alternatively use the iOS DEON Lite App (currently not available for CLOUD) if you only want to contribute content during a workshop. You can create multiple text fields or photos and keep them on your display until you decide to swipe one up to send it to the project inbox.
3 Web App Lite and Web App Desktop
Please note: You have different Web App Lite options for DEON CLOUD and DEON OnPrem.
For DEON CLOUD, simply open a browser on your smartphone and go to lite.deon.cloud or use the QR code function in the share dropdown dialog of your project. With lite.deon.cloud you can create text and upload images and photos.
For DEON OnPrem (cloud.deon.eu or an OnPremises server of your organization) install either the iPhone DEON Lite App or open a browser on your smartphone, enter lite.cloud.deon.eu or the URL of the DEON server of your organization and log in to your DEON account. Click on one of the icons next to a project name to create text or participate in polls.
Note: The currently available Lite Apps will soon be unified into a single app.
Web App Desktop
The DEON Web App Desktop and DEON CLOUD Web App allow you to view and edit the DEON workspace in a desktop web browser without installing an application. 
To get the full functionality and performance, we recommend downloading the OnPrem Desktop App or the CLOUD Desktop App.
4 Votes
You can create interactive polls in seconds.
Vote for any text labels in your project and display the results with bar charts in real time.
Multiple different polls can be created and active in parallel in the same DEON project.
Create a poll:
- Select one or more text labels in your project and click on the "Create Vote" button in the context menu
. - Adjust the voting settings in the voting dialog box:
Enable: You can disable or re-enable a poll at any time. Participants can only vote while a poll is enabled.
Rating: This voting type allows participants to give each text label a score from 0 to “score”. This means that all labels could receive the full score.
Distribute points: This voting type allows participants to distribute the “score” across all text labels. This means that if one label receives more points, fewer points remain for other labels.
TIP If you want participants to choose only one option, select a “score” of 1. The results are displayed in %.
Participate in a vote:
Use either the DEON Desktop App (OnPrem or CLOUD) or the DEON Lite iOS App (OnPrem only) or the DEON Web App (OnPrem only) to participate in a poll.
Note: The WebApp runs on any device (e.g. smartphone) with a web browser without installation:
- Open a web browser, navigate to the URL of the DEON server in your organization and log in.
- Click on the “Voting“ button
next to a project in the “Actions“ column of your project list.
In the iOS DEON Lite app, open a project and click the “Voting” button in the top right corner.
In the DEON Desktop App, click the voting button 
in the main menu to display the voting panel.
