Admins can create Poll question Posts to gather feedback from their Members. This posting option is available to Members based on permission settings for the Group. Setup Polls to ask for feedback, select a date for a meeting, or gauge Member interest in a topic. Forj recommends scheduling Poll questions at a regular cadence so Members know when to expect questions and when they can provide feedback to the Group. 

Note that Polls cannot be edited. This is to preserve data integrity and to allow Members to vote accurately on the presented question. Votes recorded in Polls are visible to other Group Members.

CREATE A POLL 

Follow the steps below to create a Poll question Post. 

• Navigate to the desired Group.

• Select Poll from the Group Feed textbox. 

• Enter the question in the What's your question? field. Note only one question can be asked per poll. 

• Enter additional messaging in the What would you like to say? field if desired. 

• Enter all answer choices in the Write your option fields. Continue to add as many answer choices as needed. 

• Determine if Members will be able to make multiple selections from the list of answer choices. 

• Click the Post button, or click the Post dropdown arrow to make a selection from the list. 

If the group Email Settings are set to Daily Digest or toggled off, Admins can still send the poll via email. Override these settings by sending the Poll question as an Announcement.

Hashtags are accepted in the What would you like to say? field for Polls, but not in the answer choice section. To learn more about Hashtags, please check out this Help Article.
