How to Set up Global Polls Configurations

Polls are a powerful feature that allows you to gather quick feedback and opinions from your users through simple voting mechanisms. This guide will help you manage Poll settings on your platform by configuring the global settings such as poll types and authentication requirements.


Accessing Global Poll Configuration

To access any of the global configuration options for Polls:

  1. Navigate to the Features section in the left sidebar
  2. Select Poll from the features list

From here, you can configure the following options:

⚙️ Poll Types

To configure the types of Polls available on your platform:

  • Look for the Types option
  • To add a new poll type click on the '+' icon and:
    1. Fill in the ID field with a unique identifier for the poll type
    2. Fill in the Label field with the name for this poll type
  • To remove a poll type, click the circle with "X" icon next to the type
  • Click the UPDATE button to save your changes

💡 Note: Each poll type requires both an ID and a label for proper configuration.

An example of how to utilize poll types would be creating different voting categories like 'match prediction' and 'player performance'. This allows you to organize your polls effectively and create distinct experiences for different voting scenarios.

⚙️ Authentication Requirements

To configure the default authentication requirements for all Polls:

  • Look for the Auth requirement option
  • Choose the type of authentication to be used from the dropdown menu:
    • Free: No registration required
    • Lead: Basic information collection
    • Registered: Full user registration required
  • Click the UPDATE button to save your changes

This global setting serves as the default for all Polls, ensuring consistency across your platform.

📝 Note: This article focuses on global configurations. Individual Polls have their own set of additional configuration options available when creating or editing a specific poll. These individual settings allow for customization of each poll's specific requirements, content and design. Read More by Browsing our Shared Configuration Category.
