Accessing and Managing Polls Module As a Participant

Overview

This article explains how participants can access and interact with the Polls Module within the Event App. The Polls feature allows participants to actively engage during sessions by answering live polls, sharing opinions, and viewing real-time responses. This promotes interactive participation and enhances the overall event experience.

Step-by-Step Approach

1. See the Polls in the Event App Menu

• Open the Event App on your device.
• Locate the Polls module in the event app menu. The Polls icon and label will be visible if the module has been activated by the event organiser.

2. View the List of Available Polls

• You will see a list of all polls associated with the session.
• Active polls that are currently open for participation will be clearly visible.
• This list allows you to quickly identify which polls are available to respond to.

3. Select an Answer

• Carefully review the listed options.
• Select your preferred response:
  • Options may be displayed in different formats depending on the poll type (e.g., multiple choice, ranking, or rating).
• The option type values are clearly presented, ensuring you understand how to respond.

4. Submit Your Response

• After selecting your answer, click on the Add Answer button.

This ensures your input is captured in real time during the session.

5. Edit the Submitted Response

6. Interact with Multi-Response Polls

Select Multiple Options

When a poll allows multiple responses, you can select more than one option. This is useful when your opinion or answer spans across multiple choices. Simply click on all options that apply to you.

Sort the Selected Options

After selecting multiple options, you have the ability to organize them based on your preference. You can move options up or down in the list to indicate priority, ranking, or importance. This helps provide more detailed input beyond just selection.

Remove Selected Options

If you change your mind or accidentally select an option, you can easily remove it. Deselect any chosen option to update your response before submitting. This ensures that only your intended choices are included.

7. View Participation Count

• After submitting your response, you can view:
  • The number of participants who have taken the poll.
• This count updates dynamically as more participants submit their responses.

This feature provides transparency and helps you understand overall audience engagement.

Summary

By enabling easy access to polls, straightforward response submission, and real-time participation insights, it creates a more dynamic and engaging event experience. Participants can actively contribute while also gaining a sense of collective involvement through live response tracking.
