8.3.7.1.Setting up new voting

In order to set up new voting go to the Votes tab and fill out the following fields:

 Name – Moderator can name the voting/poll. This name will not appear on the

screen, will be used by the system to identify this particular voting in the archive.

 Question - the question that is put to the vote. This question is displayed on the

screen all the time during the voting. For example on Fig. 28 the question is: „Which

girl is the most beautiful ?”. On Fig.29: „Do you like beer ?”.

 Instruction - this information explains to the public how to cast a vote. Instruction

is displayed on the screen along with the voting question. For example on Fig. 28 the

instruction reads: „Send the name of the girl to the screen” and it is displayed right

under the question. On Fig.29 the instruction reads: „Send YES or NO” and it is

displayed in the lower banner.

 Use prefix - with this option checked all messages with votes need to be preceded

with voting prefix. As this option may be confusing for the public we do not

recommend using it unless it is found necessary. The default voting prefix is @.

Example of correct message with vote from Fig.29: @YES. (Sending a message only

with YES would not be accounted by the system as a vote.

The default prefix can be changed in Settings – Application.

 Allow several voting from one phone number - if this option is checked each

user can cast more than only one vote from his phone. This way a voting participant

can increase chances in a poll for his favorites.

 NOTE: If the question that is put to the vote has only two answers (for example: yes

or no) it is recommended to present it in the shared screen mode (see Fig.29). In

order to do so check Split screen in screen settings on the Votes tab.

If the voting question has more than two answers use the full screen mode (check

Voting only option) or hidden mode (check Chat only option).

Section Answers:

 Number of answers – this value defines the number of all possible answers to

voting question.

 Name – list all names of the possible answer (each name-answer will be represented

by separate column in the voting bar chart on the screen).

 Value – defines the exact text or phrase of the voting text message that will trigger

the column with the corresponding name to rise. In most cases both fields (name and

the corresponding value) should be the same.
