- You'll now be taken to the login page for your new form - but let's disable this, so users don't have to login first. Open the Advanced Settings panel on the right side of the page.
- Enable the Do not show login form if contact has clicked through from an email checkbox.
- Next, click on the Update Profile sub-tab near the top of the form (as shown), to ensure we're editing the correct part on the form.

Click the 👁️ icon to hide all of the fields that don't need to be shown on the poll. If you're going to be emailing this poll to your contacts, you can actually hide the email field if you like! Our system will still know who the user is, as the link they'll click on inside the email is unique to them.

- Select the field type you'd like to use for your poll. In our case, we're going to use a radio button field type.
