Polling Web Part

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

RSS FeedSubscribe to Polling Updates!

This Poll Web Part is a great tool to give to your end users! It gives them the ability to quickly and easily place a poll onto a site and get feeback from end users, without making them jump to a different page. Reference the installation steps for some generic guidlines on how to deploy the web part solution file.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The poll web part features a slim design, much smaller in size than the out of the box SharePoint survey. This is great is screen space is crucial, on maybe one of your company landing pages or other pages that need to display a lot of content.


The web part stores its poll questions in a SharePoint list. This is great because you can easily go back and see the historical trend of questions.


Additionally, even though the web part reads its poll questions from a SharePoint list, your end users won't have to worry about building the list. When you first drop the web part on the page, the part shows a buttom to create the dependant list. When clicked, the web part will programmatically provision the list it needs. Thereafter, the user will be redirected to that list where they can start adding poll questions.


Lastly, the poll web part presents the results of the poll using graphically appealing bar graphs.
