Add a new quick poll

Create a new question to ask members on the portal.

Important: This procedure is for Community portals and only applicable to a small subset of customers.

If you are using Member Hubs, you should be using Touchpoint for quick polls.

• Refer to the Touchpoint documentation for information on how to build the quick poll activity.
• For information about how to add the Touchpoint quick poll to your member hub, see Embed a Touchpoint activity as a quick poll in a member hub.

Note:

• This content about Community portals applies to new customers who do not have Member Hubs. Upgraded customers use Member Hubs, or continue to use their portal setup from Sparq 1.
• Author users cannot access Community, portal, and theming setup functionality.

Author users cannot access Community and theming setup functionality.

A quick poll displays a Single Choice question. After a member selects an answer, the quick poll displays a bar chart of responses so far. The portal can have more than one quick poll at the same time. After you delete a quick poll, you will still have access to the results.
