Conference Tracker - How do I create Polls?

Introduction

With the Polls section, you can quickly create and send one-question polls to your Attendees. These can be useful if you need a quick response from your conference guests, such as a question about the conference or having audience participation during a session. In this article, we discuss how to create polls in Conference Tracker.

Step-By-Step

1- Go to Feedback > Polls
2-Click the "Create" button



3-Configure the Poll

Add general information, customize display settings and colors, set the publication date, and create poll questions from the available types.



General Information:

  1. Name and Description: These fields will allow you to give your poll a title and a brief description.
  2. Audience: This feature will be used to specify who will be receiving this poll. You can choose to send this poll to every attendee in your conference, a specific attendee group, every attendee registered to a session, or every attendee checked-in to a session.
  3. Time Limit: You can set an optional time limit to your poll. Once this set time has passed, your poll will no longer be answerable.
  4. Anonymous Answers: You can set your poll to have anonymous answers, blocking out who answered your poll and just displaying the actual data.
  5. Show Results to Respondents: Checking this field will allow the attendees who answered your poll to view answers from other guests.

Display:

  • Set the background color and foreground color of the poll's appearance.

Schedule Publish:

  1. Choose the correct date to send out the poll to attendees. Leaving this field blank will not publish your poll until you manually choose to do so.

Questions:

Use this section to add a new question for the attendee to answer in the poll. There are six types of questions, including:
• Open Text: This type allows your attendees to write in any answer they choose.
• Multiple Choice: This type allows your attendees to pick from a list of choices, pre-determined by the creator of the poll.
• Image Choice: This type works similarly to the multiple-choice type, but you can add an image to each choice.
• 5 Stars: This type allows your attendees to pick rating stars. The stars range from 1-5 and have the following preset titles:
• 1-Star: Worst
• 2-Star: Bad
• 3-Star: Okay
• 4-Star: Better
• 5-Star: Best
• Note: These preset titles can be customized.
• 3 Levels of Satisfaction: Similar to the 5 Stars type, this type allows your guests to pick between three levels of satisfaction. The presets for these are Happy, Satisfied, and Unhappy. As with the 5-Stars type, these titles can be customized.
• Thumbs Up or Down: This type allows your attendees to pick between a thumbs up or thumbs down. They will have preset titles, but you can customize them here as well.
