Voting in rows / Thumbs Up for entry

[Lukas_Hroch]

In Coda.io, we have used column „Thumbs Up“ for woting about features. I would like to have this feature in Fibery too. Maybe there is workaround how to achieve one member can vote one times for one entry

Voting is part of a Rating Widget functionality, see also

Rating Widget field type (showing total and average of individual ratings), e.g. Star rating, Thumbs up/down, Likes, etc

Current User Experience Tensions and Limitations: In the existing Fibery setup, while we have powerful tools to capture and organize information, there’s a noticeable gap in capturing granular feedback. Single select fields, while useful, can only store one value at a time, making it challenging to aggregate feedback from multiple users or compute averages. This limitation hinders our ability to provide a holistic view of user sentiment, especially for project teams aiming to collect and analyze…

As I understand it, you are interested in collecting the votes from multiple users, and at the moment, the contents of fields in Fibery are not ‘per-user’. So there’s no simple way to achieve it.

However, you could use buttons, combined with a user relation field to track support:

Create a relation (many-to-many) between the Feature db and the User db, and call it ‘Supporters’.

Then, you can define a button automation (called ‘Vote for this Feature’) where the action is to link the user who pressed the button to the Supporters field.

With a formula field you can calculate the number of Supporters, and thus the popularity of the Feature.

Note: if you want to limit the Users to only voting for max one Feature, create the relation as a one-to-many, i.e. a Feature can have many Supporters but a User can only support one Feature.

Superb idea! I will try it. Thx

Lukas, we have asked for this too! Please vote it up so we can get it! [IN DEV] Improvements to comments

[mdubakov]

Please note that comments reactions and this request are not related. To make voting right we have to add Reactions Field into databases, we discussed that and postponed the implementation. I can’t say when we will get to it so far… Soon we will have:

• Reactions in comments.
• Reactions block in rich text fields and documents.

Thanks that is very useful!

[Color_Works]

Outstanding and we are very excited about this!

@mdubakov

Reactions block in rich text fields and documents.

I want to vote for this specifically. I’m trying to use the feed view more often and believe that this feature would be valuable for that purpose.

[Mircea_Braescu]

This works nicely.
Would it be easy to convert it into a toggle (and remove the vote if the user already voted)?

@Mircea_Braescu

Would it be easy to convert it into a toggle (and remove the vote if the user already voted)?

Yes, but it requires an extra field (can be hidden), and the button needs to use a formula to determine whether to add/remove the user who clicked.

[Mircea_Braescu]

This is available today with workarounds like the one Chris mentioned above.
We’ve set this up for a particular entity type

[Mircea_Braescu]

One of the things that I miss from Confluence, and which would be useful here is reactions per entity / documents.
Imagine you have a feed of announcements, or product updates, it would be great to have an easy way for people to react with emojis to it.

Here is how Confluence does this for documents

and how it could be used in Fibery, for entities

Without going too much into solution model, I could imagine this being as a unique type of field per database (just like comments and attachments are)

There is an existing feature request you can vote for: Voting in rows / Thumbs Up for entry
It includes this discussion: Voting in rows / Thumbs Up for entry - #6 by mdubakov

thanks
I upvoted one of them that felt closer to my need
