How to Show or Hide a Poll on your Social Wall

In Everwall, you can easily show or hide polls on your social wall. This allows you to manage when polls are visible to your audience in real time, offering flexibility in engagement.

A poll does not need to be active to show it on your social wall, and showing it on your social wall does not make it active by default. In the setup of the Poll there is a section that askes you for the date and times that you want the poll to be active. When determining if a post should be applied to a poll, we look at the posts original timestamp and see if it’s in a window for any of your active polls, and if it is, then the vote is counted. A single post can vote in multiple polls if the active periods overlap and they are looking for the same categories.

Please note: you can only show one poll at a time on your social wall. You can however have many polls that are active at the same time.

Step 3: An orange flag will be shown to indicate that this particular poll is currently displayed on the wall, and for this case, the button will say Hide from Wall instead.
