Voting
A range of Lumi products provide participants with the ability to vote. Across these applications,
whether dealing with a quiz question in Lumi ViewPoint, or a legal vote at a shareholder meeting,
there are some basics around voting which this section outlines.
›
IML Connector devices allow participants to submit a response whilst a vote, or poll, is
open
. Votes are opened by the
operator, after which all connected devices will respond. Participants can change their response during this time, however,
once the vote is closed no more responses can be sent by participants as the IML Connector devices will return to the state
they were previously in.
›
Some Lumi products may make use of timer, or
countdown clock
,
which can aid a consistent voting process. When a clock is started
the vote is open. The vote usually closes automatically once the
clock has finished, after which participants can no longer submit
responses on their device.
›
IML Connector devices
must be connected
to a Base Station and within radio range, otherwise they will not respond to a
vote which is opened. Once opened, IML Connector devices must remain connected to the Base Station to submit a
response.
›
Depending on the Lumi product in use, or the nature of the vote,
options (or choices) can be displayed to participants on the IML
Connector display screen. Participants can submit responses using
one of the two methods below…
a)
Submit a response by
pressing a number
button on the IML
Connector device which corresponds with their voting option.
b)
A response can also be submitted by using the
blue trackball
to
highlight a choice, pressing the trackball in to select and submit.
›
Depending on the setting (and also on the Lumi product in use),
there are usually different ways in which a participant can cancel or
change their vote. Please note that instructions are always provided
on the IML Connector device screen. A response can usually be
cancelled by pressing the
Clear
or
Cancel
button. Some meetings
may require the use of, for example,
X
or
C
buttons – which can also
be used to change a response. Whilst participants can resubmit a
response after clearing, they are also able to submit a new response
by simply entering a new number or selecting the new option.
