Posts, polls and comments

Your coaching team uses posts to keep the squad informed and polls to get a quick opinion. You can comment on both – and on events.

#Where to find them

In the app, open Teams and then your team. The team page has the tabs Events, Polls, Posts and Treasury.

• Posts: a counter shows unread posts. The Unread filter shows only new ones. Pinned posts are at the top.
• Polls: a counter shows open polls. Unanswered shows the ones you haven't voted in yet.

A post counts as read as soon as you open it.

#Voting

1. Open the poll.
2. Tap an answer – it's saved immediately.
3. For Multiple choice polls, tap every answer that applies.

While the poll is running you can change your vote, or tap again to withdraw it. In anonymous polls your vote is final. Once the deadline has passed or the poll is closed, you can't vote any more.

You see the results after voting or once the poll has ended. You can also answer simple polls straight from the bell (see Notifications).

#Creating a post (coaches)

Anyone with the “Manage posts” permission can create posts – by default coaches and supervisors.

1. On the team page, tap + and choose Create post.
2. Recipients: choose who should see the post – everyone, or only certain subgroups or people.
3. Content: enter a title, and optionally some text and attachments (images, photos or files up to 25 MB).
4. Tap Publish. Recipients get a push notification.

With Premium you can use Also save attachments to documents to store the attachments in a documents folder at the same time.

From a post's menu (⋮) you can Edit it, delete it and Pin it to the top. Coaches also see how many recipients have read it.

#Creating a poll (coaches)

Anyone with the “Manage polls” permission can create polls – by default also coaches and supervisors.

1. On the team page, tap + and choose Create poll.
2. Participants: choose who should vote.
3. Options: add at least two answers.
4. Details: a title and an optional description.
5. Settings: Multiple choice, Anonymous voting and a deadline via Set deadline.
6. Check the summary and tap Create.

From the menu (⋮) you can edit, Close, Reopen or delete a poll. If you reopen an expired poll, its deadline is automatically extended by 7 days.

The Participation overview shows who has already voted. Only people with the “Manage polls” permission can see who voted for what – and nobody can in anonymous polls. For running, non-anonymous polls you can use Set answer to vote for someone.

#Comments

Below posts, polls and events you'll find the comments section.

• Type in Write a comment... – you can add up to 4 images and @mentions.
• You can reply to a comment or react with an emoji (double-tap = ❤️).
• You can edit and delete your own comments. Coaches and supervisors can also delete other people's comments.

You can switch push notifications for new posts, polls and comments on or off in Notifications.

#In the web dashboard

In the web dashboard you'll find both in the sidebar under Posts (the “Posts & polls” page). It's visible to anyone who can manage posts or polls or moderate comments.

• New post and New poll work just like in the app. Drag attachments in (up to 25 MB per file).
• You can also archive and restore posts. Under Read receipts you see by name who has read a post and who hasn't.
• For polls you see the participation and who hasn't voted yet. The anonymous setting can't be changed after creating, and answers that already have votes can't be removed.
• When reopening an expired poll you can set a new deadline.
