Using Cogix ViewsFlash and its Survey portlet with Liferay Portal

Architecture

When the Survey portlet is installed in Liferay Portal, the portlet can include a link to take the survey in maximized mode, or the portlet can embed the survey right in the portal. A Configure mode allows administrators to select what survey to show in the portlet, whether to show it embedded or full-page, and other options.

Installation Summary

As the portal administrator, use App Manager / Install to deploy the ViewsFlash application using the downloaded ViewsFlash.war file. Then define the Permissions for the Survey Portlet, granting Power Users or Adminisrators permissions for Configuration and Add to Page permissions, and Users the View permission.

Add the Survey portlet to a page. When accessing that portlet as an Administrator, the Configure link allows the administrator to select which survey visitors will take. Verify that the application is properly installed.

After installation, the portlet is already configured with sample surveys to get you started.
