Menu: Snaps
Using the Snaps Menu functions to take snapshots of selections and boards
The Snaps Menu allows session facilitators to automatically capture the contents of VFE Boards for later distribution to participants or for use in follow-up presentations. Snaps are saved in a special “CCS Cards” folder in your computer’s default Documents folder.
> Current View
Takes a Snapshot of whatever is currently showing on the VFE screen.
> Participants
Takes an individual Snapshot of each Participant’s selection frame. The snap includes the participant’s name and coloured icon. Each snap is stored as a separate file in png format using a time stamp and the participant’s name (eg. 2021-10-25_11-51-15 Participant peter piper.png). This function works regardless of which Board is currently being viewed.
> Participants Board
Takes an individual Snapshot of the entire Participants Board. Snap is stored as a separate file in png format using a time stamp and the words Participant Board (eg. 2021-10-25_11-50-25 Participant Board.png). This function works regardless of which Board is currently being viewed.
> Big Board
Takes an individual Snapshot of the entire Big Board — everything within the Big Board’s purple frame. Snap is stored as a separate file in png format using a time stamp and the words Big Board (eg. 2021-10-25_11-50-25 Big Board.png). This function works regardless of which Board is currently being viewed.
> All
Automatically takes a Snap of all of the above views.
Locating your Snaps
Windows PC
- Click “Start”
- Type “File Explorer” and click on the link to the File Explore app that appears
- Select “Documents” listed under “This PC” in the left sidebar (or in the right hand folder view)
- Locate the folder named “CCS Cards”
- Open the folder to find your Snaps.
Mac
- Click “Finder”
- Select “Documents” listed in the left sidebar
- Locate the folder named “CCS Cards”
- Open the folder to find your Snaps.
Note: As of version 1.2, the system now creates a special subfolder within the /Documents/CCS Cards/ folder using the name of the Session you created. So, if you start a session called “Big Company Team Values” you will find any snaps for this session in a folder called: /Documents/CCS Cards/Big Company Team Values.
Also, in previous versions the main folder was called “CCSCards”. This has been renamed to “CCS Cards” (which is easier to read). Any Snaps you have saved from previous versions will still be in the old folder.
