The Quick Poll is like a mini survey. It is a single question survey that can be formatted as you wish and created either as a page or a pagelet.
If you want the quick poll to be used in a single location and be on its own page, you should create a Quick Poll page. If you want to use the poll throughout your web site, and insert it on different pages, create it as a Quick Poll pagelet.
Note: The Quick Poll functionality is not part of the standard ACTIVE CM installation. If you would like more information or are interested in acquiring this feature, please contact your sales representative.
