Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
polls
-
Can I invite owners or members in the poll?
Yes, owners or members can be invited to vote on a poll.
-
When do polls close?
Polls close when everyone has voted or on the date chosen. A poll can also be closed by the poll creator at any point.
-
Can I manually close a poll?
Yes. If you want to close a poll early, you can do so.
-
Why would I want everyone to see the poll results?
If, for example, you ask directors to choose the best time for the next meeting, there is no harm in knowing when everyone is available.
-
What does a private poll mean?
It means that no one can see the results. No one means not even the board admins or recording secretary can see the results.
-
How do I send reminders?
Invitees are automatically sent an email inviting them to vote on a poll. If you want to remind invitees again after a few days, clicking on the reminder icon automatically sends only to those people who have not yet voted.
-
How do people know they have been invited to a poll?
We make it hard to miss the invitation. Every invited person receives an email, and a tile appears on the home page.
