ATTN MODERATORS: Polls - Protocol Idea

I second this suggestion. I would like to see polls on various topics.

Such as: Number of employees (< 50, 50 - 250, 250 - 500, > 500), type of
manufacturing (fab, assembly, fab & assembly, process), Biggest issue (MRP,
collecting labor, shop floor control, etc.), How long have you been using
Vantage/eMfg (< 1 yr., < 3 yrs., > 3 yrs.), Success of implementation
expressed as either a percentage or letter grade, General opinion about
Vantage expressed as either a percentage or letter grade.

I'm sure this group could think of a lot more polls.

The benefit is good for the group, but also for new users. It will allow
them to get a feel for what the group thinks and has experienced.

I'm not a moderator, but I have an idea for polling protocol.

How about we try to use the polling feature of our group as much as
possible, especially when getting input from users on yes / no / multiple
choice questions.

However, a user should feel just fine announcing the presence of a new poll,
and giving an explanation of its background through a message on this list.
However, as much as humanly possible, we would respond by going to the polls
rather than each individual user posting an e-mail response.

The user could post the poll's results on a periodic basis, as they deem the
information contained in the poll would serve promote our greater
utilization of Vantage.

I believe polls would be a great help, so we can get headcounts on what
other users think on such decisions as what version of Crystal people are
using, who agrees with a particular change request, and such.

I wonder if it would be possible to grant us normal end users of the group
the access to create polls.

Or we could come up with a system by which a request for a poll could be
processed, hopefully with in a couple of business days.

Just a thought.

P.S. Non-Moderators please only respond to the this message only if you are
suggesting a change to it, or disagree, as not to clutter our precious user
group.
