In UKG Pro Learning, you can track your employees' feedback or opinions by creating polls.
You have the option to create Standalone Polls or to connect your Poll with a specific Course, Curriculum, Group, ILT (In-Class Training or Live Session). The following types of polls are available:
- Standalone Poll
- Course Poll
- Curriculum Poll
- Group Poll
- In-Class Training Poll
- Live Session Poll
To create a poll, select Admin in my academy’s navigation bar, and then select Polls.
You can then select either Standalone Poll, Course Poll, Curriculum Poll, or Group Poll.
To set up a poll for your In-class Training/ Live session, select Manage Events, find the applicable event, select Manage Event under the Event title, and then select Manage Polls.
Give the poll a title and a description. You can also set up an expiration date for the poll, and decide whether or not the members (or just admins) will be able to view the poll results.
Please note:
- An expiration date can be set for the Poll with Standalone/ Group /Event polls.
- You have the option to define if an Event Poll is required for the event certificate.
Add some questions to your Poll. You can add as many questions as you'd like by selecting the Add Question button.
You have the option to combine the following different types of questions:
- Closed-ended questions, having all of the possible answers predefined.
- Open-ended questions, where users are able to submit their own answer, instead of having to choose between predefined answers.
By selecting the add answer plus sign, you can add as many answers as you'd like.
Please note:
- Each closed-ended question needs to have at least two answers.
- Answers can be deleted by clicking its "x" button.
- You can reorder the answers' sequence with a simple drag and drop.
Select the blue Save button when finished.
By default, your poll is in private mode. To make it visible to your employees you have to publish it by flipping the Public toggle to "yes".
1. Standalone Polls
If you publish a Standalone Poll, this becomes visible to all the employees and they can access it from their Home page, under the Polls section, and select Go to all Standalone Polls.
However, you have the option to make your Standalone Poll available only to specific Employees. To do so, mark your poll as Private, go to the Manage Polls tab (under Polls), find the poll in question and click on the Assign option.
You will be given the option to assign the poll either to specific employees (Individual Assignment) or to a group of employees based on their job and location (Advanced Assignment).
