With Konzertmeister you have the option to quickly and easily poll your members on various topics and retrieve the results in a clear and comprehensible way.

Poll types

To be able to poll various topics, Konzertmeister offers the following poll types, which differ by the type of answer option:

  • Here you can answer with a number (integers and decimals).

    Example: Number of bus seats, ticket orders, or required quantity for CDs, etc.

  • Here you can answer with Yes or No.

    Example: Do you need a new traditional costume hat?

  • Here you can write any text as an answer.

    Example: What piece ideas do you have for the next concert?

  • Here you can select exactly one answer from multiple answer options.

    Example: Please choose your T-shirt size (Options: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL)

  • Here you can select one or more answers from multiple answer options.

    Example: Which equipment needs to be renewed for you (Options: Hat, Pants, Shirt, Marching fork)

Poll deadlines

To ensure that the poll can only be answered until a certain point in time, a response deadline must be specified for each poll, until which the poll is open.

Anonymous polls

Polls can be anonymous or non-anonymous.

For anonymous polls, Konzertmeister ensures that the answers cannot be traced back to you or other members. This can be especially useful for sensitive polls to give members more security.

For non-anonymous polls, the leaders of the poll can see which member submitted which answer.

By default, polls are non-anonymous. This means the leaders of the poll can see which member submitted which answer.

Konzertmeister always indicates whether a poll is anonymous or not.
