Details
-
Alias. The internal name of the item. Normally, you can
leave this blank and Joomla! will fill in a default value. The default
value is the Title or Name in lower case and with dashes instead of
spaces. You may enter the Alias manually. The Alias should consist of
lowercase letters, and no blank spaces are allowed. Use a hyphen (-)
instead. The Alias will be used in the URL when SEF is activated.
-
Lag. The number of seconds which must pass before a
user may submit another vote in this Poll. This can be used to limit a
user to one vote within a given time period.
-
Published. Whether or nor the Poll has been published.
-
Option 1 - Option 12. Enter up to 12 Options for the user to choose from.
Toolbar
At the top right you will see the toolbar:
The functions are:
-
Apply. Save it, but stay in the same screen. If you
have been working on a screen for a long time and don't want to risk
losing your work, pressing Apply saves your work and lets you continue
working. If, for example, you lost your Internet connection, your work
will be saved up this point.
-
Close. Return to the previous screen without saving
your work. If you press Close while adding a new item, this new item
will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the
modifications will not be saved.
