A Draggable scale Poll lets attendees slide a marker along a continuum to represent their exact position on a question. It transforms passive listening into an active experience.

Scale range
The core part of a Draggable scale Poll is the range of values that participants can choose from.
You set the Lowest value and Highest value in this range. The values in the drop-down menus range from 0-100. The default for Lowest value is 1. The default for Highest value is 5.
Tip: Decrease the Lowest value to activate low numbers in the Highest value menu.
You also enter labels for the Lowest value and Highest value.
Examples: Strongly disagree and Strongly agree

Adjusting scale size
You can amend the Poll scale size after you start collecting responses.
For example, you can change the initial scale size from 1-5 to 1-10 once you have started collecting responses. As a result, responses registered on the scale from 1 through 5 will be retained and you can continue collecting more response data with the now expanded scale.
Settings
You can change the settings to customise the Poll:
- Anonymous responses: When disabled (default), participants are asked to create a profile when submitting answers. The speaker or presenter can identify participants who submitted answers. When enabled, participants are not identified in the answers they post in the Audience Web App, Panels, and Insights.
-
Comments: Enables respondents to comment on questions. Comments do not appear on the Projector Panel by default, but can be accessed.
- Comment filtering: Enables an Admin to manage audience comments by choosing to Allow, Edit, or Dismiss them. Only allowed comments are visible to your audience. You can enable or disable this comment filtering feature at any time, even while the Interactivity is live.
- Participants see the live results after voting: Shows live results in the Audience Web App.
- Participants can change their vote: Enables participants to edit their votes after submitting them.
- Reactions: Allows participants to use emojis to react to moments in your live events, live streams, and on-demand videos. This option displays under More settings. It is available for plans with Reactions enabled.
