Voting

Portal users can vote on pages directly from your portal. Click to vote, click again to remove a vote, and see at a glance which items are most requested.

How it works

Voting is powered by a Notion relation property that links your data source to your users database.

• When a logged-in user clicks the vote button, they are added to the relation property on that page.
• Clicking again removes the user from the relation, effectively removing their vote.
• The vote count is calculated from the number of records in the relation property.
• If the logged-in user has already voted, the vote icon appears in blue.

Setup

Prerequisites

Before enabling voting, make sure your data source has a relation property that links to the database where your portal users are stored.

The relation must be a two-way relation. One-way relations are not supported and the feature will not be available.

Enable voting

1. Go to Admin > Tabs and select the tab you want to enable voting on.
2. In the tab settings, find the Allow upvoting option and enable it.
3. Select the relation property that links to your users database.
4. Set a label - this is the name that will appear to your portal users (e.g. “Votes”).

Current limitations

• A single user can vote on up to 100 pages across the database. Once this limit is reached, the user must remove an existing vote before voting on a new page. The user will receive a warning if this happens.
• Vote counts displayed in the board or list view show the exact number up to 25. Beyond that, the count displays as 25+.
• The full vote count is visible when opening the page.
