Result type. When the respondent has answered the question, and clicked on the vote-button, the value selected determines what he/she will see next:
-
Chart with the poll summary. See Quick chart edit.
-
Thank you note, set on the poll texts page.
-
-
Result display method:. Configure how you want the poll result to be displayed:
- Generate on vote. With this option, the poll result received from the server after the vote. Use this method for Thank-you note if it contains piping elements. Use this method for poll the chart if you want up-to date vote count.
- Page reload. With this option, the page is submitted, the result chart is then calculated, and the same page is displayed with the chart. Important to note that the result will ONLY be visible if multiple votes are turned off. Otherwise the poll questions will be displayed again.
- Pre-generate. This is perhaps the most elegant solution, where the result chart is calculated before the page with the poll is displayed. When the vote button is clicked, the response data is sent to the Opinio server, and the result chart is displayed immediately. What happens is actually a JavaScript function call that simply switches the view from the poll form to the poll chart. IMPORTANT: The result is always one behind, i.e. the vote for the current respondent is not included in the chart, because the chart is calculated on the initial page visit. The method can be used on high load servers with large number of votes expected.
- Popup window: This option will display the chart/thank-you note in a popup window, and leave the form embedded in the page unchanged. The chart will be updated with the current respondent. NOTE that if multiple votes are turned off, the respondent who have already voted will be see poll result in the main poll window, because we/she has already voted.
-
Maximum number of votes: Poll will be closed for voting if this numbers is reached. Poll result will be displayed instead the questions. This feature is useful if only a limited number of votes is needed, and server/database resources are limited. Set this to 0 for unlimited votes.
-
Validation: Only Client side validation type is supported. The validity of response values will be checked/verified on the client side (in the browser, by JavaScript). The error messages are displayed in a popup-window.
If you choose no, select the method to prevent multiple votes.
- Yes: This means that the respondents may vote as many times as they want.
-
No: The respondent is restricted to vote only once. If this option is selected, also specify how you want Opinio to perform the restriction:
- Check IP-address: The respondents IP address will be stored along with the vote. When a response is saved, the system will check if another response exists for this poll with the same IP address. If so, the respondent will see the poll result instead of questions.
- Cookies: are small data elements stored in the browser. When a poll has been responded to, the system will store a value in a cookie, indicating this.
-
Custom poll id: The poll link contains an id that points to the poll. This is a number that is generated from a sequence of numbers. For advanced HTML users it is easy to find the number used for the poll. In that case they can try to set different numbers (increase or decrease the poll number) and access different polls. If your poll is confidential, you might want to set the custom id to something that is difficult to guess. The poll will then be unaccessible by the sequential number.
-
Save URL parameters: It is possible to specify URL parameters to save with each respondent. By setting this poll attribute it is possible to turn the automatic saving of these URL parameters on/off. This is necessary, because it should be possible to let a plugin handle this data (if it is not going to be saved automatically). The default value is to save the parameters ("Yes")
