UW-Madison Doodle - Scheduling an event

To schedule an event using Doodle, you need to create a poll. This document explains how to do so.

Scheduling an event

    1. Log into your UW-Madison Doodle account.
    2. To begin scheduling an event, click on the Create button in the top right corner. 
    3. Enter some general information about your event under the Edit your group poll section, then scroll down. 
    4. Under the Add your times section, you will be prompted for at least one potential date for your poll. You can add dates by clicking on them in the calendar view. You can also remove dates you've selected by clicking the x that appears beside each date when you hover over them.
    5. Scroll to the Settings section, the final section on this page. Here you can optionally select additional settings for your poll.
    6. Once you have finished entering your poll information, dates, and have selected any needed settings, click Create invite and continue in the bottom right hand corner. 
    7. Now that you have created your poll, you will be taken to the confirmation page shown below. From here you can go back to editing your poll, copy an invitation link, preview your poll, and export your poll.

      Sending out your poll

      Once you've created the event poll, you can manually email the Participation link to the event attendees. You can also use Doodle to send out these invitations.

      Administering the poll

      You will need the Administration link to view poll results. If you were logged in when you created the poll, you can view the poll via MyDoodle. Otherwise, the Administration link should have been sent to the email address you provided during the poll creation. If you have lost the Administration link and cannot find it in your email or in MyDoodle, you will need to create a new poll.
