Creating Polls

Filed In: (Widgets)
 

CoreCommerce allows you to create polls, which you can add to your site in the form of a widget.

To create a poll:

  • Log in to your CoreCommerce admin
  • Hover over the Settings link in the upper right corner and click on Widget Settings
  • Click on the Poll tab
  • Click the Manage Polls button
  • Click the Add Poll button
  • Under the Question field type in the poll question (e.g. "Is my site easy to use?")
  • Click the Answers section on the left
  • Click the Add Answer link
  • Type the Answer (e.g. Yes, Maybe, No, etc).  Repeat for each answer you want.
  • Click the Save button
  • Once your poll is created (you can create multiple polls), put your mouse over the drop down on the poll list page and click on Poll Widget Settings
  • You can choose whether you want your polls to be random or manual.  If you choose random, then each customer will receive a random poll.  If you choose manual, you will see an active column on the poll list page. The poll that is active will be the one displayed to your customers.
  • You also must have the widget added to your left or right widgets. To add this, hover over the Design tab and click on Sidebar Widgets
  • In the category drop down, select Input Widgets
  • Drag the Poll Widget to your left or right sidebar 
  • Save and you're done.

Note: Once a customer votes, they will not be able to vote again. The system tracks the user's IP address and will only allow one vote per IP address.

To view results, on the poll list page when you put your mouse over a row you will see a gear. Put your mouse over it and click Reports.

 

Below is a video that shows you how to use and set up the polls.
