A box will pop up reminding you that you are leaving the set-up screen. Click "Confirm." The student and center names will be saved on the computer you entered the information.

7. Click "Continue." Your wheel will then be set up. Type in how long your rotations will be and click "start." Your wheel will rotate when the time expires. Click the rotate button if you wish to rotate the groups before the timer expires.
If you wish to change any groups or students after you have completed your setup and started your wheel chart, click the Class Setup button. This will exit the Wheel chart and enter the Class Setup page.
