Feature
Polls can be distributed via email or hosted on your web site and collect and display results in real-time.
Polls operate in two modes: registered or anonymous. Anyone can respond to an anonymous Poll. Ballot stuffing is possible, and there is no way to know who is participating in the poll.
Registered polls can only be accessed by contacts. Ballot stuffing is prevented because only the first entry is counted for each participant. You can also generate a report of the contacts that participate in your poll.
Accessing Polls
Polls are accessed from the Content menu. To access the Polls, go to CONTENT > VIEW POLLS. This will open the Polls page, which displays a list of the existing Polls. From this page you can create a new Poll as well as to preview or edit existing Polls.
The Polls page lists the following details for each Poll:
