Poll

Overview

A poll asks your readers one question with a set of answers. In the dashboard, this experience is called Vote.

• Readers who are not signed in see the question and a Sign in to vote button. If they click an answer first, they are asked to sign up, and their vote is counted once they have signed in.
• Signed-in readers click an answer to vote. They then see the share of votes for each answer as a percentage, with their own answer marked Your vote.
• After voting, readers can click Change vote to pick another answer, or Remove vote to take their vote back.

Once someone has voted, the poll also shows how many readers have voted.

Set up

1. Go to Audience Operation > Experience and click New Experience.
2. Pick Vote, then click Next Step.
3. Enter a Name, choose the Project and turn on Enable.
4. Set the settings:

Each answer has two fields:

• Question Label: the text readers see, such as "Draw".
• Question Value: a short name that keeps this answer's votes apart from the others, such as draw. Give each answer its own value, and don't change it once readers have voted, or the results for that answer no longer show.

A new poll starts with three example answers. Replace them with your own.

5. Click Save Changes. The preview shows how the poll looks.

Put it on your pages

Place the placeholder where the poll should appear. Copy it from the experience, which fills in its ID, or replace EXPERIENCE_ID yourself:

<div data-exp="unis-vote" data-exp-id="EXPERIENCE_ID"></div>

Without data-exp-id, the page shows the Vote experience that an Orchestration delivers to it.
