Voting_System is one simple yet very powerful use of Trackers in Tiki. This profile will enable the tracker feature and create a basic wiki page to act as a custom reduced interface to vote in the system, while hiding some fields to the end user, that are needed to ensure that the user is recognized as a member of the only group that can vote ("Group1"), and that only one vote per user is allowed.
Two users are created for demo purposes: user1, which belongs to group1, and user2, which belongs to group2. Therefore, only user1 can vote, beyond the admin, that can also vote since no permissions are checked against user admin, who has the ability to create and fine tune the system.

You can easily enhance the system as admin by:
- enabling users to get notified by email of changes to their items. This way, a user casting a vote will receive also a notification email with a copy of the choices made in that vote casted (also if only voting once and no furher change is made to that vote).
You can do so by means of:- go to list your trackers, and choose to list the tracker fields for the tracker of the voting system
- edit the field "User selector: Username"
- at the option "Options for User Selector", choose "Email Notification: No". And click at the OK button below to save your changes.
- Set some period for the voting. No votes will be allowed before and after these dates you chose.
You can do so by means of:- go to list your trackers and edit the tracker for the voting system
