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 section, you will be able to:

• Manage Polls - In the Manage Polls section, you will be able to view, create and publish your Polls. You can also use Search Filters to quickly view specific Polls.
• View Results - Once your Polls begin to be answered, you can view their results in this section. These results are updated live, so as soon as one person answers your poll, you will start to see your results.

In the Manage Polls section, you will be able to view, create and publish your Polls. Polls are one-question surveys that you can send to your Attendees in order to quickly obtain information from them. Here, you will have a few options to access:

• Create - This option will allow you to create your polls. More information on this can be found below.
• View Results - This option will allow you to view all results from your polls. More information on this can be found below.
• Search Filters - With search filters, you can filter out specific polls by picking different options. This is useful if you quickly want to find a specific poll.

Each Poll in your list will also have poll-specific options. These are accessed by clicking on the three dots at the right of each poll's title. These include:

• Publish - This setting will only be available if you have set up a poll that has not been published yet and does not have a scheduled publish date. This option will let you immediately publish your poll out to your attendees.
• Unpublish - This setting will only be available if you have published your poll BUT no one has answered it yet. This option will take down your poll, allowing you to make any necessary edits before publishing it again.
• View Results - This setting will only be available if your poll has already been published AND it has been answered by at least one person. This will quickly take you to the results screen for your chosen poll.
• Copy - This option will allow you to copy your chosen poll as a new poll. This is useful if you would like to keep the same data but only change one or two things in your current poll.
• Delete - This option will allow you to delete your chosen poll.

By clicking on the Create button, you will be taken to the Create a New Poll screen. You will have the following options to edit your poll:

• General Information:
  • Name and Description: These fields will allow you to give you poll a title and a brief description.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Answers are Anonymous: You can set your poll to have anonymous answers, blocking out who answered your poll and just displaying the actual data.
  • 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 polls appearance.
• Schedule Publish:
  • 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.
• Specify the question for this poll: Add a type of question for the attendee to answer in the poll.
  • Type: You have six overall types of questions you can choose to add to your poll. These include:
    • 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 similar to the multiple-choice type, but you are able to 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.

The View Results section will allow you to view all results from any answered poll that you have published. You will be able to see General Information about your poll, such as the date and time it was published and the number of respondents. Your results, depending on the question type, will be organized into text responses, data charts or data tables. You can also print these results by pressing the blue Print button on the top of this section.
