Viewing Poll Results
- As colleagues vote, the creator and those who have voted will see the results in real-time.
- When viewing a poll that you have voted in, the option you voted for is marked with a tick.
- Note: The person who created the poll cannot see who voted in the poll. Admins and Analytics Viewers can see this level of insight as it is included within our Competition Analytics dashboard.
- Everyone can see the count of votes and the percentage breakdown across the options.
Announcing the leader / Winner of a Poll
The nature of polls is that they do not end so people can continue to vote indefinitely.
If you plan to select the most preferred option / leader from a poll on a particular date / time, set this expectation in the update. For example, the leading option at Wednesday at 1pm could differ to Friday at 1pm if people continue to vote after that time.
