nobody can vote. Therefore the poll’s parent folder needs to be published
before opening the poll in order for this field to take effectVoting can take place either in the object or in a voting portlet;The voting portlet can show the latest open poll or ab specific open poll
and closed pollsUsers can see partial results of the pollResults can be shown using a bar chart, a pie chart, or just by number of
votesPolls can have relations with other content in the siteWorkflow descriptionThe workflow associated with polls has the following states: ‘Private’,
‘Pending review’, ‘Open’ and ‘Closed’.Polls are created in ‘Private’ state; only Owner, Manager, Editor or Site
Administrator roles can modify them.When a poll is in ‘Private’ state it can be sent to ‘Pending review’ or
directly to ‘Open’ state, if the user has the proper role (Reviewer, Manager
or Site Administrator).When a poll is in ‘Pending review’ state it can be edited by Manager,
Editor, Reviewer or Site Administrator roles.A poll in ‘Pending review’ state can be sent to ‘Open’ state, with “Review
portal content” permission, or to Private, with “Request review” permission.When the poll is ‘Open’ users can only vote; nobody can modify the poll in
any way.An ‘Open’ poll can be sent to ‘Private’ or ‘Closed’ state by Reviewer,
Manager or Site Administrator roles.When an ‘Open’ poll is sent to ‘Private’, all votes are removed to avoid
data manipulation.When a poll is in ‘Closed’ state nobody can modify it, nor can anyone vote
on it; a closed poll can always be reopened by usera with proper
permissions.Not entirely unlikePlone PoPollA very old an unmaintained product, PoPoll includes a poll tool that
allows member or anonymous to vote for one or more answers. A portlet is
provided. It can be configured to display the last poll, or the first poll
of a folder. After the vote statistics screens are shown.Share and Enjoycollective.pollswould not have been possible without the contribution of
