We will see through an example, how to create a poll with Pollen. The three necessary steps are:

The vote counting type corresponds to one of the following :

The second step allows to specify options for the poll. The questionmark shaped icons display help on the topic :

The third step is specific to group or restricted polls. If you are logged in you can use predefined list to fill in the groups (the selected poll is shown in grey). Otherwise you have to fill in their names and emails. It is also possible to give a weight to a group or a voter.

The fourth step is aimed to fill in the choices for the poll. The choices can be text, date or pictures. It is possible to fill in a description per choices.

Once the poll is created, a page indicate two links. The first one is the link to the vote page (to send to the voter, this is automatic if their email was filled in). The second one have to stay private, this is the poll modification link (allows to end the poll also).

The vote page contains a reminder of the poll informations and a representation of each voter's vote. The poll creator and the voter concerned can modify a vote. If the poll is public, it is possible to see the results. In addition to that, the poll's news can be followed by Atom syndication and it is possible to post comments.
