Higher Logic provides dozens of widgets that you can use to:

• modernize the look of your community pages,
• enhance the usefulness of your site, and
• increase member engagement.

In this article, we'll focus on the widget associated to our Polls module.

Access the widgets

You'll be able to add, edit, and remove widgets when editing one of your community's pages. To edit a page:

1. Navigate to the page you want to update and click Edit Page on the Admin Toolbar (or right click for a new tab). Alternatively, you can click Edit Navigation to access the CMS and your community's complete page list, from which you can access and edit any page.

2. Editing a page is accomplished with Page Designer. Click the Build tab and scroll down to the Widget section.
3. Use the Category dropdown and/or the search field to more quickly find a specific widget.

• Widgets are grouped and accessible from their own category in the dropdown.
• Select the All category to view the complete list of widgets; click Polls to view the widget discussed in this article.

Polls widget

When added to a page, this widget allows you to insert any active polls that have been created in the Admin interface (on the Feedback > Polls page).

Community members can view the poll question, select their responses, and submit their answers directly through the widget. Once submitted, the current poll results are displayed.

NOTE: There is some nuance to where polls can be inserted, and by whom, depending on whether you license the optional Group Manager module. See Polls Overview to learn more.
