Polls
ADD POLL
The Poll module provides a great way to solicit public opinion, post a fun trivia question or have visitors vote between different options. Only one response per computer (browser specific) is accepted so that one visitor doesn't respond multiple times at a given time. This is based on a session variable so once the session has expired, a visitor can come back and submit the poll response again.
When activated, a Take My Poll icon will display on the homepage of the website.
To Add a Poll:
- Click on Add Poll.
- Enter in a poll question for visitors to respond to.
- You can enter up to 10 different responses (the first two are required).
- If the question has a specific answer, e.g. a trivia question, post it in the Answer - Optional field. This allows visitors to view it after taking the poll.
- If you have multiple locations, use the For Location drop down to select the location the poll should appear on.
- Select which dates the poll will display on the site using the Show and Hide date fields. The poll will not display until the Show date.
- Click Add Poll.
EDIT POLL
To Edit a Poll:
- Click on Edit Poll.
- Click on the blue link to the name of the poll in order to make edits. Hit Save.
- The Taken field displays the number of visitors that have responded.
- The view link displays results and tallies up the percentage of visitors who selected each option.
Please note that if more than one poll is active, the system will randomly select one to display each time a visitor views the site.
