Polls

You and other teamspace members use polls to ask other members a question. The author of a poll includes a set of responses from which the members may choose. The poll author enters the question, specifies who will be asked, and enters a list of acceptable responses. The author can specify a deadline for replies, select whether or not the poll results will be displayed to other members, and set a priority on the poll question.

If you are invited to participate in a poll, you can select the poll from either the Polls section of the Home tab, the Overview tab, or from the Polls tab. Select respond to see a list of the possible responses. You select a response and enter additional comments if you wish.

Teamspace members can select a poll to display its results in the Poll Detail area (if the poll's results are not hidden). The Show results detail link displays a detailed view of the responses. From the Poll Results Detail screen, select the + next to a response to display additional details including a list of respondents and their comments.

Teamspace members can send email about the poll to other teamspace members with the send email action. A member can specify who should receive the email, including the teamspace itself, and can enter additional comments about the poll.

Teamspace members can add links to items related to a poll. Related links can be used to provide reference or background information for other members. See Related item links for more information.
