What this template measures

  • Which days each team member can attend.
  • The best run of consecutive days for the offsite.
  • Practical needs such as travel or dietary requirements, in their own words.

Questions included

  1. Which days could you attend the offsite?

    Meeting · Required

    Whole days: you choose the date range before creating the poll; participants mark each day available, if need be or unavailable, and results highlight the best 2 days in a row.

  2. Anything we should know (travel, accessibility, dietary needs)?

    Text answer · Optional · Up to 500 characters

When to use it

  • Planning a team offsite, retreat or strategy day.
  • Scheduling a multi-day workshop or training.
  • Any work event that needs consecutive days.

How to customize it

  • Choose the start and end dates of the range before creating the poll.
  • Edit the title, description and any question wording before you create the poll.
  • Add, remove, duplicate or reorder questions, and change whether each one is required.
  • Group questions into sections if the poll grows longer.
  • Choose settings such as the closing date, result visibility and password protection.

Nothing is saved until you select Create poll. The poll you create is your own copy; changing it never affects the template.

How responses and results work

  • Participants see the results after they respond (the default — you can change it).
  • You see every response on the poll’s manage page and can export them as a CSV file.
