Polls & finding a time

The Polls panel sits beside Upcoming Sessions on the room’s Schedule tab. It does two jobs: finding a night the whole table can make, and settling a group decision. Any member can start one.

Start a poll

1. Click Poll at the top of the panel.

2. Pick a kind. Find a time (the default) collects availability; Decision collects votes on options.

3. Give it a title — the placeholder hints at the shape (“When can we play?” or “What should we decide?”).

4. For Find a time, add at least two Candidate times with the date picker and the + button. For Decision, type your Options (one per line) — at least two — and tick Allow choosing multiple options if people should be able to pick more than one.

5. Click Create Poll.

Each row in the panel shows a When or Vote badge and a summary of how many times or options it offers. Whoever created a poll can delete it.

Note

The panel doesn’t refresh on its own. If someone else creates a poll while you’re sitting on the Schedule tab, you won’t see it until you come back to the room.

Filling in an availability poll

An availability poll lists one row per candidate time — it isn’t a grid of days against hours. Each row has one toggle that cycles your answer: tap for yes, again for maybe, again for no, and again to clear it.

As answers come in, each row shows its yes and maybe counts plus up to four avatars. PostRoll scores every row — a yes is worth two points, a maybe one — and stars the winner. If several rows tie, they all get a star.

Turning a winning slot into a session

Starred rows carry a Schedule button. Click it and that slot becomes a real session in Upcoming Sessions, with a Session scheduled from the winning slot confirmation. Any member can do this — it isn’t reserved for the GM.

Caution

The session it creates is bare — literally titled Session, with no description or duration. Delete and recreate it if you want a proper title. The poll also stays open and isn’t linked to the session, so tell the table it’s settled; nothing on the poll will say so.

Polls run open-endedly. There’s no deadline and no way to close one; when it’s served its purpose, delete it.

Decision polls

A decision poll shows each option as a fill bar with the vote count and percentage. Click an option to vote.

In a single-choice poll, clicking the option you already picked clears your vote rather than keeping it — handy if you want to abstain, surprising if you were double-checking your answer. In a multiple-choice poll, each option toggles on and off independently.
