Configuration

Poll Documents

Polls are managed as documents in the CMS. A poll document must be published to be displayed in a channel.

The setup application added an example poll document in the folder polls.

See Poll Documents for more information.

Add the Poll Component to a Page

  1. In the Experience manager, select the desired channel.
  2. Browse to the page to which you want to add the Poll component. The page must have a container to hold the component.
  3. Open the left sidebar and select Components.
  4. Click on the Poll component, then click inside a container on the page to add the component to that container. It will display No poll available because it isn't configured yet. A configuration sidebar will appear on the right side.
  5. In the configuration parameter Path to poll document, click on the magnification glass icon. A picker dialog pops up.
  6. Browse to the 'polls' folder, select the example poll document and click OK.
  7. In the configuration dialog, click Save, then X to close the sidebar. The Poll component on the page will now show the poll.
  8. Publish your changes.
