Designing Poll Layouts

To build a poll:

1. Drag a form field from the Form Fields column into the Form Builder pane.
2. The selected form field appears in the Form Builder pane and Properties for that field appear in the Properties column.

The Form Builder provides the Form Fields described in the following table:

Poll Fields

Form Field	Description
Text	A text area to display text information such as directions on how to fill out the poll.
RadioButton	Two option radio button list
CheckBox	Two option check box list.
Image	Area to display image.

 

Drag any additional Form fields into the Form Builder pane to build your poll.

• To move a field to a higher or lower horizontal position within the form builder pane, select a form field and click the Up or Down buttons.
• To remove a field from the form, select the field and click the Delete button. A dialog appears, prompting you to confirm that you want to delete field.
  Click OK. The selected field no longer appears in the Form Builder pane.

Before you finish with your form you need to specify Form Field Properties for each field in the form.

 

The properties specify names, labels and other aspects of the field’s behavior.

When you drag a field into the Form Builder pane, or click on a field already in the pane, properties for that field display in the Properties column. Not all fields have all the properties. What each property does is described below.

Label	All Except: Text, Image.	Enter a label to appear beside this field that identifies the function of this field to the user.

Once you have finished with your form fields and specified their field properties you can save the poll by clicking Save.

You may want to go back and edit some of the Details for the poll itself. In that case, edit the form and click on the Form Details tab.
