Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating voting buttons in a message, part of Office 365: Outlook Essential Training.
- Voting buttons in Outlook are a fun and easy way to get quick feedback without having to create complex forms or do any tabulation yourself. To create voting buttons, from the home ribbon tab, click new e-mail, and then address and create the e-mail as normal. I'm going to send this one to myself also. After you've created the body of your e-mail, change to the options ribbon tab and then select Use Voting Buttons. Outlook gives you some default choices, but let's click Custom.
I can type in my own choices for voting as long as I separate them with a semicolon. I'll click close and then, I can send my e-mail. Since I sent the e-mail to myself, I'll double-click on it to show you what the voting process looks like. Here's where I can read the text in my e-mail. I told everybody what the choices are and Outlook is telling me to vote by clicking Vote in the respond group above. Instead of Replying or Replying All or Forwarding, I'm going to select Vote.
Here's where I can see all my choices that I created. I'll cast my vote and I can either send the response now or select Edit the response before sending if I wanted to include a message. I'm good for now, so I'll click OK. And now I can close out of the e-mail message. When anybody casts their vote, I'll get an e-mail. There's a few things I can do to see the total amount of votes. I can double-click this e-mail to see the response. However, I can also click the i with a circle around it and select View voting responses.
This is going to open up a screen where I can see everybody that I sent the vote to, any responses that came in and when they came in, and at the top, I can also see the totals. When I'm done, I can close out of the response by clicking the X in the top right-hand side and that is how you easily create voting buttons in Outlook.
