Using the Polls Module

The Polls module enables workspace administrators to create poll questions and review poll results. Polls are a simple way for you to gather opinions and comments from workspace members using the Poll pagelet that is displayed on the workspace homepage. The Poll pagelet displays a single question and enables users to submit a response and add comments. Until a workspace member has answered the current question, the pagelet displays the poll question only. After a member has responded, the pagelet displays the current poll results.

The pages used to manage the workspace poll in the Polls module are the same pages used in the Polls feature that is available from the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub homepage. When a workspace administrator clicks the Polls link in the workspace menu, he or she accesses the Maintain Polls page, which functions similarly to the Maintain Polls page in the portal. The Polls feature is documented in the Using Portal Features

See Understanding Polls.

Access the Poll pagelet on the workspace homepage.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Poll pagelet (general workspace member before the poll question is answered).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Poll pagelet (workspace administrator after the poll question is answered). You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use the Poll pagelet to submit a response to the currently displayed poll question. After you have submitted a response, the pagelet displays the current poll results. If you are the workspace administrator, the pagelet also displays convenient links to help you maintain the poll and view complete results.
