Poll-type component on Homepage to collect data
This a bit of a strage request so hopefully someone might be able to help!
I'm looking to put a component on the Homepage that will allow users to make a single selection from a list of multiple choices (be it from a drop-down menu or similar) in order to collect data from the types of calls they are getting. As such it needs to be something they can use many, many times a day so a normal poll is out of the question. It also needs to be something I can draw the information from afterwards via a report so I can collate the data over the weeks and months.
Would this be possible? And if not does anyone have any suggestions for something within Salesforce that could provide a similar service?

Thanks for the reply.
1. Create a custom object sall Poll, with necessary fields.like questions, options and counts on the each
2. Only one object would be enough to store the poll and there answers
3. Each record is a Poll question and each record is shown in the home page layout based on the status.
4. And a manage Poll tab for the admins to get the stats
5. As the records are stored a report and a dash board would give you the necessary details on screen.
Hope it helps

1. This is possible using visual force home page components
2. Is this question you would be asking every day
3. We can tie it to a custom object which can be reported later
Kind regards
Yes it would be asked every day and would likey continue indefinitly. It would be used approx 400 times a day by about 30 people. A custom object sounds perfect.
