Create a poll form

  • Go to Forms in your settings

  • Create a new form that sends tasks to your polling dartboard

  • Include the custom property that you just made so users are required to make a selection

  • Optionally, set a default title for the task to clarify what users are voting on (e.g., “Choose your favorite color”)

  • Choose Internal if the poll is only for your organization or public for anyone to take the poll

Share the poll

  • If the poll is for internal use, share the form with Internal access. If public, share the link of the form

  • Users can find the poll by clicking the arrow next to the New task button and selecting the form you created
