Polls

In the "Polls" module, opinions and trends can be determined by a survey, for example. If you are looking for a common date, you can also vote for date suggestions here.

1. Navigation

Click on "Surveys" in the navigation to open the module.

2. Polls

You can see all the surveys in this section. The information content differs depending on the data stored by the survey creator and whether a user has participated in a survey.

For each survey, the status of the survey is displayed as follows:

• "Not published" (draft survey created)

• "This survey is anonymous"

• "Vote"

• For polls that have already been voted on by other users: "See results and vote"

3. Filter

The surveys can be filtered by category or date created using the calendar icon here. Expired surveys can be viewed in the archive.

4. Categories

Categories can be created or edited here. This function is only available for administrators or Intrexx Share administrators.

5. Create poll

By clicking on this button, a new survey can be created.

Create poll

There are two separate dialogs to create a survey. In the first dialog, you enter the general survey data and the start and end date of the survey. Once the survey has expired, it is automatically archived and can be extended via the dialog if required. A survey can be assigned to a category. The "New category" link is visible to the administrator only. Click on "Next".

Options / Suggested dates

Here you can define whether your survey should contain "Options" or "Suggested dates" as answer options. For both types, a description, files or a color, which are used in the result of the survey, can additionally be assigned.

Visibility

Ads can be released publicly for all Intrexx Share users or for a restricted group of people only. If you distribute the survey to an Intrexx Share group (restricted), the users of the Share group will be synchronized in the survey (see User Synchronization).

Poll should be anonymous

If this option is enabled, the answers of the survey participants remain anonymous. The identity of survey participants cannot be seen, even by administrators.

Participants can add new options

If this option is set, survey participants can add more answer options for all users to the survey.

Participants can vote for multiple options

This setting allows users to vote for more than one of the options.

Save as draft / Publish

If the option "Save as draft" is set, the survey is only visible to the creator and is not published. The survey is marked as "Not published". Only when the "publish" option is set, will the display be released and visible to the selected group of people. If this setting is enabled, users themselves can add more options to the survey.

Survey details

Files

Here you can find all the files that were added directly to the survey and the comments.

Options

By clicking on "Options", the person who creates the question can access a menu that can be used to further edit the survey or to edit options. "Copy link" copies a survey link to the clipboard.

If a user has not yet participated in a poll, the "Vote" button is displayed at the top of the polls. Only the written comments and likes of the survey participants are visible at this time.

When a vote has been taken, the result is displayed in the lower section.

In the case of an anonymous survey, only the number of participants per answer option is displayed in the analysis.

In the case of a non-anonymous request, the voting results of the participants are also analyzed.

Set date with an appointment poll

If an appointment poll has been created and the voting period has expired, the creator of the poll can set a date for the poll via the "Set date now" button that now appears.

Polls plugin for newsfeed

If a date has been set, the creator of the survey also has, in the plugin in the "News" module, the option of creating an event directly from it. You can find more information about plugins here.
