Launching polls

Written By Eventicious Team (Super Administrator)

The poll you’ve created can be launched in different ways:

  • Always available

  • Started manually by the administrator

  • Started automatically by schedule


To choose it, open the ‘Settings’ tab in your poll:

Click the drop-down list and choose the desired option:


Always available

This means that after the poll has been added to the app, users will immediately be able to take it. All created polls are set to ‘Always available’ by default. Such polls cannot be stopped, they can only be restarted. Note: restart leads to deleting all previous results.

To restart, click the icon .


Start manually

This means that users will only be able to take your poll after you have started it manually by clicking the green play button in the admin panel (or from the big screen — please see Streaming Polls on a Big Screen).

After you’ve stopped the poll, you will be able to restart it with deleting all the previous statistics.

The hint below the option reflects the current status of the poll.


Schedule start

This means that users will be able to take your poll by schedule. You set the time, and the system starts the poll automatically. To do so, click either the date or time and set the desired option in the calendar:
