8 years ago Feature request review - design and implementation thoughts.
- [ ] Review and test a poll without saving results feature can be tied to Open Poll in that if the poll is not open, then the poll-taker is explicitly told that the poll results will not be saved (or perhaps the results are saved, but not counted).
- [ ] multiple choice questions are always presented in a random order to prevent bias, so be careful when creating such questions and do not assume a presentation order. "All of the above" needs to be "All choices" or similar language.
- [ ] Assuming allow for sentences is for answers, Is this feature wanted per question or per poll? Such a feature would allow answering in the normal fashion, then take comments as well. An example would be poll taker selects B with additional comment "I like the smell, but not the texture.". A likely format for this would be to accept answers with quotes text and ignore parsing of anything inside quotes. Thus an answer of B "I like the smell, but not the texture." would decide B was the choice, and store the quoted sentence as a comment.
- [ ] prioritization questions can allow "must rank between X and Y". X and Y can both be 0 if ranking is optional, equal but not zero if for example 5 choices are given and 3 must be ranked, X and Y would be 3, or "must rank all" would be X and Y equal 5. The wording for such would be "Must rank at least
<X>of<Total question count>" and ", but no more than<Y>" if Y is less than<total question count>. If X is equal to total question count, then the message is simply "Must rank all choices." A default for what the first through last choice priorities mean needs to be chosen, and if defaults are not used, then they must be provided when the poll question is created. - [ ] review before submitting mechanic will prompt at completion of last poll question for review or submit. Choosing review will prompt with option for change of specific questions.
- [ ] Close Poll is either done at a certain elapsed time after opening or manually by closing the poll, and done by those allowed to, defaults to only the player who created the poll.
- [ ] review results typically is allowed only after poll closes, to avoid biased results, but there may be use cases where partial results are public before poll closes. As to what results are viewable to whom when will need to be set per poll or per question, and include some indicator for displaying condensed summary, totals or full set.
- [ ] Condense to score totals only (see above) - types of summary and presentation of results is yet to be determined.
This seems complex enough that it probably should be its own typeclass, so we can create "poll" objects that consist of a list of poll questions. Just a poll command with sub-types of polls seems insufficient, even before considering the optional features.
@tricuspa Before we begin coding, what do you think?

Add a tool that allows polling surveys to be taken records and be reviewed during, or after poll closes.
