Please check out the new POLL feature in Epicor Ideas… let us know what you think. This is only a poll about having a polling feature. (note… it is poll number 1) [https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/sections/7254285156901249157](https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/sections/7254285156901249157) Click on the link above… answer the poll, add any comments… we have NOT purchased this feature yet, but are looking into it as a way to get faster feedback for new features. ---

Doesn’t look like its accessible to customers - prompts to log into workspace but existing aha login doesn’t work. ---

You are correct… since we are just turning on the feature, we had missed a step. It is now available for testing. I also corrected the link above to this: [Epicor Kinetic Ideas](https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/sections/7254285156901249157) ---

I can access it but I’m not sure I understand the purpose. When I click on the poll there isn’t any info and I can’t see the image. Its just a way to vote. As far as it goes . . . ok. I think the real question is how would it be used? ---

so, this was my first poll to understand what is possible… there are actually 3 different types of polls, and this is one of them. The idea is that we can create a poll with multiple options, and allow customers to vote on the poll… so instead of just voting on “ideas” we can create a multiple choice idea for you to help define directions. ---

Here is another poll… maybe this will give you an idea of what this can be used for. [https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/sections/7254285156901249157?poll\_id=7254319120289263163](https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/sections/7254285156901249157?poll_id=7254319120289263163) ---

Can you turn on so we can see the comments? ---

Interesting… I just looked and there isn’t an option to make comments visible (this is part of the Aha! platform that we are looking into). There is a secondary option that I will also experiment with called “Empathy sessions” that allows for discussions. it doesn’t have a voting option. it DOES have scheduled sessions where you can discuss multiple attached IDEAS during the scheduled sessions. I have not figured out if it has a “demo mode” yet. ---

OK… I am getting the idea of these polls… it does allow us to get general feedback within Epicor Ideas… I can also see when @josecgomez and @Banderson are funning with me and only voting a 4 on this poll: 😉 ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/1/e/1ed2fa2a7eb0f3aed8ff85d57c9f3d11b09f7cdc.png) ---

I get it now. So a poll could be to further refine an idea, or perhaps to pit ideas against eachother (prioritization or mutually exclusive ideas). I like it! ---

Is there a place to give feedback on polls? This one just doesn’t explain enough about how the idea would work to vote one way or the other. [Epicor Kinetic Ideas](https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/sections/7254285156901249157?poll_id=7255729556053502372) ---

when you take a poll, there is a place that you can add a comment (if we enabled it, which I typically would do). Also… once we get started with Empathy sessions, there are other options for discussions and examples… we just haven’t gotten that far with the Empathy sessions. ---

It’s a real thing in the product world, Epicor didn’t come up with it. I would love Epicor to do empathy sessions with me, the agenda will be, let’s try to report a bug to support 😂 ---

you go with what the name is… Epicor Ideas uses AHA! as its platform… AHA! has Empathy sessions, so we get to use the same name… read about them here: [https://www.aha.io/blog/introducing-empathy-sessions?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=cpc&utm\_campaign=dsa+-+all+-+primary+locations+-+all&utm\_content=all+webpages&utm\_term=&matchtype=&device=c&devicemodel=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzdOlBhCNARIsAPMwjbxiiSWedDVGX9I4z\_WiqC6dKX46eNZ6VWL-L3JcGClavUHKIPE7M0caAvjLEALw\_wcB](https://www.aha.io/blog/introducing-empathy-sessions?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=dsa+-+all+-+primary+locations+-+all&utm_content=all+webpages&utm_term=&matchtype=&device=c&devicemodel=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzdOlBhCNARIsAPMwjbxiiSWedDVGX9I4z_WiqC6dKX46eNZ6VWL-L3JcGClavUHKIPE7M0caAvjLEALw_wcB)
