How to Publish Multiple Poll Questions at Once (Queue)

Queue multiple polls and publish them together in one click.

Written by Cameron

šŸ’” The Queue is a staging area for your polls. Line up questions in advance, then publish them together when class starts, no clicking through polls one by one.

Add polls to the queue

Step 1 Navigate to 'My Activities'

My Activities highlighted in the sidebar below the New Activity button

Step 2 Your Queue has 0 polls. To create one, see How to Use Polls on CampusKnot (Faculty)

Step 3 Click the 'Bulk Action' button

Bulk Action button highlighted next to the search bar in My Activities

Step 4 Under 'Bulk Action' select the polls you'd like to use and click on the 'Choose action' button

Step 5 Select the 'Add to Poll Queue' under 'Choose Action'

Step 6 Once you've added polls to the Queue, you'll see the number update

šŸ’” Queuing doesn't lock your polls. Edit any queued poll at any time before you publish it. Click on the three-dot (ā‹®) icon in the top right corner of the poll

Publish from the queue

Step 1 Go to 'My Activities' and open 'Queue for next class'.

Step 2 Click 'Publish all', or 'Publish' next to a single poll to send them one at a time.

Step 3 If you click Publish all, choose how durations work:

Publish all polls dialog with duration options and the present-only toggle switched off

  1. Use individual poll settings: each poll runs on the duration you set when you created it. Pick this when your polls need different time limits.

  2. Apply the same time limit to all polls: one duration overrides every poll's individual setting. Pick this to run the whole set on the same clock, like a timed in-class quiz.

Step 4 Pair a Queue with Attendance *optional*

FAQs:

  • Queued polls don’t share a timer. Each one is tracked and graded individually.

  • Once published, each poll follows the duration and point settings you defined during setup.
