Setting up the survey

In this first release two types of questions are possible: open-ended(text) and close-ended (radio buttons). A survey can have multiple questions.
Launching the survey

When a survey is launched, it is displayed for meeting attendees to submit their responses.

Widget update in Iconic venues
The widget controls have been updated for all Iconic venues. All functions are now grouped in 3 tabs:
