The Polls module is a very convenient feature that allows easy resolution of issues within the organization. Decision making through consensus is conveniently achieved by using this feature effectively. The user can add, delete, close, and archive polls as well as attaching documents to a poll. The user can create customized polls by allowing the members to choose single or multiple answers and he/she can further customize by having an open or anonymous poll. The status of the polls is displayed; all open polls are available for voting and all closed polls are available for viewing results. Polls can be closed manually by the administrator/creator, or automatically by setting expiration details date and time. Closed polls can be archived or stored for future reference.
