Re: Polling - hiding results
Hey Jen,
I thought I'd post our private discussion here, too.
Right now, there's not a way to do what you're proposing. A workaround would be to use a tool like SurveyMonkey, and just advertise it in your employee community, or, when you've upgraded to Jive 4.5.x, use the Widget Studio to build a survey form that does what you need - I don't speak from experience, however, so I can't confirm that this is, in fact, possible.

Re: Polling - hiding results
Hi Gia. I am currently testing 4.5 and getting ready for the upgrade. Where can I find the Widget Studio? Is it something built in or something that has to be installed?
-
Re: Polling - hiding results
Hi Christian, the Widget Studio is a free plugin and will have to be installed separately. It will be available for download Tuesday. Keep a look out for the blog post Tuesday with the details!

Re: Polling - hiding results
I've taken this approach with Survey Monkey. SBS makes it really easy to embed a SurveyMonkey survey.

I love to use Survey Monkey but have never embedded it in Jive SBS.
Do tell, please, the easy way to do this!

Re: Polling - hiding results
The following methods work to add a survey to Jive from SurveyMonkey – very Easy
- If the survey would need to be linked via an email or whatnot this is the URL you would use:
http://www.surveymonkey.com (followed by your survey name)
- If you would like to embed just the link to the survey in a website, you would use this script here. Again, any basic HTML website will do.
<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/ (SURVEY NAME) ">Click here to take survey</a>
To get this to work on your Jive website, you can use a text widget. Type whatever introductory text that you want. Then click on the html edit option - you can insert the
<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/ SURVEY NAME ">Click here to take survey</a>
where you want it. Save and publish - you will see the link to click on. The user will be taken directly to the survey in the same browser window.

Oh, thanks, but I thought by embedding you meant that the survey appeared in Jive SBS so people didn't have to go to the SurveyMonkey site. Like embedding a YouTube video, for example.

Re: Polling - hiding results
They simply click on the link in Jive and it brings them right to the survey.

Re: Polling - hiding results
You got me so excited – oh well. I think it would be great if webmonkey supported this and provided embed code – where’s there Jive community so we can ask them for it?
-
Re: Polling - hiding results
the bigger issue would be whether you could include the embed within a Document in Jive. You can do this with an HTML widget, but very often Jive strips out HTML code when inserted in documents.

Re: Polling - hiding results
Here is how to embed a Survey Monkey Survey in a space using SBS.
First take a look a the image. The entire survey is displayed in the space.
1. Edit the space, drag and drop the the HTML widget.
2. Paste the email code from Survey Monkey between the quotes in the iframe tag below. (you can find this under Collect Responses in Survey Monkey)
<iframe src ="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/######" height=650 width=500>
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>3. Your survey will display in a 650 x 500 pixel box. Change the pixels to what fits best for you.
4. Click on Save Properties.
enjoy!

Re: Polling - hiding results
Hi,
the iframe tag gets stripped out from any Jive document except on home page. So, the above approach works only using the formatted text widget / html widget when customising the space overview. I guess that's a bug in the Jive code ...

Re: Polling - hiding results
That might be it... or it could be your system settings in the Admin console. Jive gives the adminstrator a lot of power on what the administrator can filter and what they can allow. <iframe> is one of those tags that can can filtered/blocked. Your admin can check with support if they are unsure.
-
Re: Polling - hiding results
If you are referring to putting the <iframe> in the wiki document, I think it is filtered by default but could be changed.
I believe the rational is this, space owners will take more responsibility to make sure they don't put malicious code in their space. However, end users may not exercise the same level of caution and could open your site up to a vulnerability. But the support team can tell you for sure.

Re: Polling - hiding results
Thanks Wally,
I can understand the rationale. And I know how to change it. It's more the question how much of an issue is the XSS browser vulnerability for an internal community. This is something each company need to decide for themselves. For an external community I would not allow this.
cheers

Re: Polling - hiding results
Just wondering if there has been any further development on this topic? Our users are also interested in having the ability to hide the results of the poll until it is over. Putting a survey in a widget is not really a good alternative for these users, because they are using the polls to increase engagement and they want the voting itself to show up in the Recent Activity feeds, just not the results.

We are also interested to know if we can hid the results of the poll until it is over. Corey Mathews do you know?

Re: Polling - hiding results
Hi Kim Nelson - it's a cool idea, but it's not possible in the standard poll widget. For now, as folks have suggested above, a third-party poll offering like SurveyMonkey is your best bet. If this hasn't been formally suggested as a product enhancement yet, you should! I'll vote it up, and it will get some additional visibility with our product team.

Corey Mathews - Where would I suggest this as a product enhancement?
-
Re: Polling - hiding results
Yeah, in my opinion we're totally hiding this following a recent Jive Community re-org. Product suggestions are found in the platform space at https://community.jivesoftware.com/community/products/platform. I looked and didn't see any specific ideas around hiding results, but I have seen similar requests in the past from clients.

We just got this question as well. Would be great if we could hide poll results.

Hey everyone, I didn't see a new Idea created as a result of this conversation so I created one. For those still hoping to see this implemented, please vote!
