DATTLE / Surveys

Opinion Poll

Set up a consistent questionnaire for voluntary responses. One entry per response keeps answers to the same questions together, using the template’s configured consent and collector settings.

Make it your own

On the web, sign in and choose New Dattle → Template. Web Dattles use Shared access; you can start with just yourself and invite people later. For a Private Dattle stored on your device, use the mobile app.

  1. Start from the template

    In New Dattle, choose Template and search for Opinion Poll, or browse Surveys. Open its preview, choose Use template, and review the name and fields before saving. The suggested name is Community Opinion Poll.

  2. Capture your first entry

    Review the question wording, choices, introduction, and consent text before collecting responses. Use the same wording for each respondent and record only the answers they provide.

  3. Review and keep it useful

    Review collected answers in the poll’s results views. Describe who responded and how responses were collected when sharing a summary; the responses alone do not establish a representative sample.
