Displays the

Auto-name vote
The server generates a name for the vote based
on the current date and time, in the form
yymmdd_hhmmss.
Applies only to an
otherwise unnamed vote; and only when the
vote is started from
Vote Proctor
window. The
Start Vote
button, normally disabled until an
agenda has been set, is enabled. Note that this
option is independent of the option of the
same name under the
Control System Interface
tab

Secret Ballot
During a vote, seat icons displayed in the
Vote
Proctor
window turn grey as they vote. Actual
votes are tallied to the
Vote Proctor
window
only after the floor is closed.
N
OTE
:
A “secret ballot” is actually only secret
while the floor is opened. Once the floor is
closed, the vote is published.
The
Control System Interface
Tab” page 37.) If this option is not checked, a name
will be generated for the vote comprised of the current date and time.
This is a serial signal. The demo shows how to provide a typewriter keyboard-like
interface on the touchpanel for entering an agenda description.
If your design utilizes the Vote Proctor window for running a vote, it will almost
certainly be easier to type in vote from that interface (using the real keyboard).
The user can select a pre-entered agenda item from the touchpanel using the
(optional) agenda scroller. (See page 37 for instructions on how to attach an
agenda scroller using the
Agenda Item Scroller
combo-box; also see “Agenda
scroller tables,” page 55 for more information about how to pre-enter agenda
items.)
