Touch-Screen Assistant Send a Survey Message
When sending messages to either an individual or a filtered group, you have the option to require a response from each volunteer. To require a response, click on the Set Responses button while creating a new message. You create a response set for the message so that the volunteers can only make one of a few valid choices. You can reuse an existing response set, like a common yes/no response, or create a new response set for a unique message. In this example, we created a yes/no response set to ask if the volunteer votes for a candidate in an election.
