Click on a free line in your Loop workspace page and type the /voting table or /poll slash command to launch the selection component.
02Define your options
Enter your custom ideas or deliverables into the matrix, and set up any pros and cons fields you want to track alongside them.
03Cast your vote
Click the interactive plus button inside the voting column next to the option you support to add your vote and update the running total.
04Track who voted for what
Hover over the numerical score field to see which specific team member cast a given vote.
05Review and finalize the results
Once voting is complete, review the structured layout of aggregated scores to help finalize the group's decision.
