CARMA Feedback Admin

The CARMA Feedback Admin allows you to manage user-submitted comments that have been left on your site. This includes comments left on specific gallery or video content, as well as generic site comments, and votes made in polls you have created.

The main Feedback Admin page provides a breakdown of your site's feedback, containing basic information on comments left by members.

The "Recent Content Comments" section provides you with the member's name, Gal ID number (the specific content they commented on), and a brief preview of the member's comment. The "Recent Generic Comments" section provides you with the member's name, the section (page) the comment was left on, and a brief preview of the member's comment. "Active Polls" gives you the poll's Short Name, the site that the poll is located on, and the total votes left on the specified poll.

In additional to basic overviews of comments left on your site, you can also use the tabs at the top of the page to view more in-depth views of your site's comments and polls.

Clicking the "Edit" icon allows you to change values you see on the main Polls Admin page-- you can change which site your poll is displayed on, the question you are asking in the poll, and when the poll is set to start and end. When you are finished editing your poll, click "Save Changes".

The "Manage Poll Options" page allows you to change the available responses to your poll, as well as the order they are displayed in. On the "Manage Poll Options" page, you will see the same basic poll information at the top of the page, followed by a list of your available Poll Options.

This list of Poll Options provides the name of the option, as well as how many votes each option has received (with a fractional and percentage breakdown). You can edit each Poll Option by using the Action icons provided in the right-hand column. The pencil icon allows you to change what is said in your Poll Options, the green up and down arrows allow you to change the order that your Poll Options are displayed in, and the garbage can icon allows you to delete a Poll Option.

You can also add a new Poll Option by inputting what you want your Poll Option to display in the "New Option" field at the bottom of the page. Once you have specified what your Poll Option will say, click "Add This Option" and the new option will be part of your poll.
