The Polls tool lets you create poll questions that site visitors can respond to. The poll title is the question, with up to 12 multiple-choice answers. Polls are primarily for member engagement, and aren't ideal for membership surveys.
Note: You can publish only one poll on your organization's website at a time. For greater functionality, use a form instead.
Adding a new poll
- Go to Community > Polls.
- Select the New plus sign.
- Give the poll a Title—this is the poll question. Add the alias in lowercase letters with dashes (-) replacing spaces. Lag is the number of seconds before the same user can vote in the poll again; we recommend leaving it as is.
- Enter up to 12 Options (the possible poll answers), then select Save.
Adding a poll menu item
Once the poll is configured, give groups access by adding the poll as a menu item on your MC Professional site.
- Go to Website > Menu Items and select the menu you want to add the menu item to.
- Select the New plus sign.
- Under Select Menu Item type, select Polls, then choose your new poll.
- Give the menu item a name (for example, Conference Poll), generate the alias by pressing the Tab key, then select the menu item under which the new poll should appear. If the poll should have a menu item of its own, select Top. Select Save.
- Assign the menu item permissions by selecting the permissions lock at the top of the Menu Manager page. Select the groups who should be able to view this menu item, then select Save.
