Poll -- open answers not possible
|
Steve, are you asking whether you can just let members type in a reply? No, you can't. You must give them options to choose.
However you can let them select more than one. I just created a poll earlier today. I found the last time that people replied to the poll email and therefore the poll didn't calculate how many answers for each.? So I wrote these instructions in the description / question spot along with the question - finding a date for an annual event: Please tick off all choices that make work for you. But please DON'T click on reply in your email program. If you do that, we can't really make use of the polling feature.?
?
Instead: ?Click on Vote Now.?It will take you to the group homepage and the poll.
?
Don¡¯t have a password? Click on Email me a link.
?
It will come in your email - it might go into your junk mailbox by mistake.
Vote in the poll.
Then click on Vote to register it.
?
Want to add a comment? Make a suggestion?
You can go back to the poll and click on Reply. Or start a new topic.
You can also see how others have voted. (This is an option when setting up the poll.)
The choices I offered were 4 dates, plus? None of those dates work for me. (Please send a suggestion or comment.) ? I don't think I can make it this year. For more information, see: Frances /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki /static/help More help: use the search button at the top of the Messages list. |

Am I correct that there is no way to run a poll, but give members the opportunity to type in whatever they wishNo, the closest you can come is to have Other as an option, but that doesn't allow any input.
