How the accessing works
===============================
The following is the logic of the access by Flags and Main Level:
if any flag #1-4 equals user's flag, then he has access to the
specific question, add question, delete own question and response,
or add additional response(if allowed by the author of the question).
That is true regardless of his Main Level. If user's Main Level
greater than or equal to the given access Main Level, then he has
access, regardless of flag. By the way, SysOp with a main
level of 90 and above are the only people who can assign flags or
main Level as well as impose a force vote.
If you want to give any of the flags priority, then set the access
Main Level to 99. This will block out anybody that has below 99,
but give people access if their flags matches any of the flags from
1 to 4. For example, user 1 has a ML of 30 and a flag #1 set to
'A'. And you want users with a flag #1 to answer the question. The
way to do this is, set the question Main Level to 99 and flag #1 to
'A'. This will only let users with Flag #1 answer the question.
This will hold true with any of the access stuff, like in the setup.
Remember, Main Level has priority so on a normal basis, user with the
Main Level or higher can have access to add/delete/question/add
response, depending on how you set it. I hope that was clear to you.
If you are confused, feel free to experiment and ask me if you
have further questions.
Commands
========================
V- List of questions available to be voted. Enter corresponding
question number you want to vote on.
N- New scan any new votes that you haven't voted.
A- Add vote. After the list of question pop up, enter the number
you want to insert the question to. Then enter the question
you want to add. After that, set up the way you want the
question to be setup as. It is pretty much self-explanitory.
For further info on how to give access to this question, look up
above at the "How accessing works".
D- Select the question you want to delete. If you want to delete a
response, press <ENTER> or 'N' to get into a list of responses.
But if you want the whole thing deleted, press 'Y'.
From there select what you want removed. Then you are all done
and it will pop you back to the list of questions.
R. Shows the result of the vote so far. This is pretty much
self-explanitory, so you shouldn't have any problem with this
part.
S. Setup the Voting Booth for Synchronet. Select the letter you
want to edit.
C- Credit you want users to receive after they vote a new
question.
M- Main Level a user should have to add/delete their own
question as well as adding response and deleting their
own.
1-4- Flags #1 - #4 setting for the same purpose as in
Main Level.
V- Validate User's question option enables the SysOp to validate
any question a user makes. If you don't want to validate any
questions, set this to 'No'. This will mean that all questions
will be valid for others to answer right away.
A- Show who the author is. You can display the user who asked the
question out in public with the question. Set it to now if you want
the user to be anonymous.
R- Option to show the percentage on the left or right side of the
response. Some sysop prefere the percentage on the right and others
on the left, so I added this to satisfy them.
L- This option has a '.' lead to the percentage when watching the result.
This option is only visible when you set the 'R' option to display
the result percentage on the right side of the responses. Try it out
and you'll see what I mean.
S- This is so you can have the result displayed while someone is voting.
some said it takes time to press 'y' to see the result after you vote,
so this is one way to quicken the pace.
D- Set directory of where the data file is going to reside.
Q- Quit setup.
W- This is where you validate user's question. If there isn't a
list of question, then there is nothing to validate. This will
only list things to validate. As a SysOp, you will be notified
when loging on. That is if you have the logon setup done. You
can validate question from their as well as going in the program
and validating questions. You can also delete the question if you
don't want it validate there on the spot, or validate the
question. It's easy to follow along.
I- Vote information. This contains author of Question and Response.
Total times voted and a list of who voted the question. This is
fairly easy to follow along, and does't merit further information
about it.
?- The menu you see when you first get into it. This is used in
case you get paged from someone.
Q- Quit out of Voting Booth.
The menu is fairly easy and you shouldn't have any problems moving
around it. If you do have further questions, you can contact me as
listed in the VB121.doc.
