Summary

Use the Poster challenge module to create excitement around a poster exhibition and encourage app users to visit the exhibition and interact with the posters, by voting for their favorite posters.

In this module you can create poster pages with linked PDFs of the posters, where app users can add comments and vote for the posters. Results of the votes can be displayed on a live leaderboard, and voting for posters can be counted as points in an activity challenge.

Poster challenge is a paid module. Contact your SpotMe account manager to find out more about the pricing.

Creating the poster list

Creating the list

Creating additional filters for the poster list

Creating the poster pages

Setting the limitations on the votes

• In Preferences, use the Number of votes field to set the maximum number of votes allowed per participant.
• In Preferences, use Restrict voting to prevent users from voting for certain posters based on certain user properties. If the text in the chosen user field is the same as in the chosen poster field, the participant will not be able to vote for this poster.

For example: If the User field is set to Country, and poster field is set to Country, the user will not be allowed to vote for a poster from their country. 

If the user tries to vote for a poster that they are not allowed to vote for, they will be warned by a popup when tapping Vote, and their vote will not be taken into account.
