There should be more types of questions that you can use in a poll, like open-ended questions with a lot of text, one-word answers, etc.

(from a client) Would like to see an option to export results to a spreadsheet (XLS or CSV).

Polls - once created, you should have the ability to email non-respondents reminder(s) to vote

We are doing a survey on a recent event and it seems I can't just send to event attendees.

I'd love to be able to select the list from either all, member level, groups or events.

This will save me having to create a group for an event just for the polls.

Can you please add this???

Thanks

I'd like the ability to poll a subset of members, using an list generated by an advanced contact search. For example, it would be helpful to be able to have a new-member poll or a poll of members in certain zipcodes.

Would like to be able to restrict poll not just by member level, but member status, too. For example, when using polling for an election, we need for only active (current paid) members to be eligible to participate. Those that are "pending renewal" haven't paid and thus should not be able to participate until they've done so. Being able to restrict this way would also encourage members to pay their dues.

Hi, I love the new polling feature! Some feedback based on our first use is that it would be nice to be able to reopen a poll after it has been closed and also, it would be nice to be able to extend the date of a poll if voting numbers are trending low. Thanks!

From a client:
Our polls need to be able to be open to the public and not just logged in members.

For election purposes, it would be helpful to see if a member has voted. Do not need to know what there was selection was for, but of the members listed to have access in a given group, highlight their name if they participated in the election. As of right now I can only guess who voted in our test poll/election

Regarding 'Polls' - first, thank you; its great that you added this feature. Suggested changes: allow for a free-form answer only. Currently, the only free-form field allowed is the 'Other' field that must be included with either yes/no or multiple choice. Second, please make the poll available to all 'Contacts' as well as 'members'. Yes, we have subscribed members, but we would like to know better how to move the contacts to members. Thank you!

Once the poll question is entered, there is no way to order the questions. You have to pre-design and ensure the questions are created in the right order.

From a client:
Would love to easily embed the poll rather than link to it

Polls are great for structured questions, but in the annual awards we run they start with an open 'nominations' process, where a free-text input is required. The current option for 'other' doesn't really work for us in that scenario and I'd really like to be able to keep members within Wild Apricot rather than have to go and use Survey Monkey or something. Thanks for listening!

(From a client) Have a gadget to show the responses in a fun graph or chart. For fun polls to show useful results.

Polls – once created, you should have the ability to change or add a closing date

We would like a conditional questions, where the questions may or may not be displayed, conditional upon the answer to a previous question.

I have created a poll for Admins only. I sent the link out via email to myself but have discovered that if I am not logged in and/or logged in but not in admin view I get the page not found (error 404). If I log in first and then go to admin view, the link takes me to the poll. People responding to an email link to a poll will usually not be logged in and get an error message.

polls - Ability to add a detail description text box after the question and before the answers. It will better explain the question or provide members why we are asking question.

Normally, we are voting on Bylaw changes, so we want to explain how it is today and the proposed bylaw.

Or we are voting on a slate of officers and would like to put all of the officers and their proposed positions. Its an all or none vote.

(from a client) Have a Poll Gadget to add to web pages. Gadget should list all open Polls that are either Public or that logged on user is authorized to. For users that are not logged on (ie Public) – restricted polls should be shown but not selectable. There should be wording indicating that these Polls require login to access
