Using SiteBuilder Votes Editor

Voting modules allow web site owners to conduct online polls and surveys, thus receiving valuable feedback from their customers. They can be used to collect information on the site audience, potential clients, products and services, and carry out marketing polls.

Using the SiteBuilder Votes Editor, you can collect votes on different questions and display the results as dynamic graphical charts directly on the page. The SiteBuilder voting module tracks visitor uniqueness based on the single session principle, i.e. a visitor cannot vote several times in this poll within the same session (until he or she restarts the browser).

To insert and set up the voting module:

  1. On the editor toolbar, click the Votes Editor icon. A white rectangle representing the module appears on the web page.
  2. To configure voter settings, double-click the module rectangle on the web page. The Votes Editor dialog box opens.

  3. On the Properties tab of the Votes Editor dialog box, enter a question you want to ask your visitors about.
  4. Provide at least two answer options. For this, select the check boxes marked with red asterisks and type the answers. To provide more than two answers, click the Add Answer button to add an additional field.
  5. Open the Design tab to choose a design template for your voting module. Before this tab opens, you will be asked to save changes.

  8. Select the Show borders check box to display borders around the voting module. Otherwise, clear this check box.
  9. Click the Preview tab to view how the module will look on your page. On the Preview tab, you can try to give an answer.
  10. Click Apply in the lower right corner of the tab to return to the editor main window.
