Polls

Polls, when placed on the Arena-managed website pages, create a feature that enables members to answer survey style questions, allowing the Organization to learn the opinions of the Membership base. You can also place Polls on internal Arena pages so that staff users are included.

From the Web Content menu, click the Polls option to bring up the list of currently created Polls. This list shows the Active Status, Poll Question, Category, the Modify Answers link, the number of responses, and the number of answers.
