Componentes
Propuestas
Your ideas in detail
Create a proposal using a creation wizard, compare it with the existing ones, publish it on the platform and include additional information such as geolocation or attached documents and images. This component also allows you to navigate, filter and interact with a set of proposals. In addition, with the proposal-incubator you can create collaborative proposals.
Votaciones
Decide your choice
Offers organisations the possibility of activating different voting or support systems around proposals: unlimited, limited to a given threshold, weighted, cost-based, etc. Backed by secure and encrypted e-voting technology.
Resultados
No proposal without an answer
Turn proposals into results and give official responses concerning their acceptance or rejection, merging various proposals into a single result.
Rendición de cuentas
End-to-end transparency
It offers the possibility to subdivide results into projects, to define and apply progress states around their implementation, as well as to show the degree of achievement of results grouped by categories and scopes.
Encuentros
To meet and not miss anything
El componente de encuentros ofrece a las organizaciones y a los participantes la oportunidad de convocar reuniones, determinar su lugar y hora, registrar y limitar el número de asistentes, definir la estructura y el contenido de la reunión, así como publicar las actas y las propuestas resultantes.
Textos participativos
To analyze, synthesize, and build in common
Can be used to convert long text documents into several proposals or results and, vice versa, to compose and display a unified text based on a collection of proposals or results.
Conferencia
Donde los grandes eventos se estrenan
Create a website for a big event. Unify the program by joining up a series predefined meetings (chats, workshops, etc.), and manage attendees.
Encuestas
Porque la opinión de tu comunidad cuenta
Design and publish surveys. Display and download results.
Sorteo
La igualdad y la justicia del azar
Allows to select a number of proposals (e.g. candidates for a jury) with random, yet reproducible, procedures that guarantees non-biased and uniform distributions.
Comentarios

Enables users to add comments, to value them in favour, against or neutral, vote them, answer and receive notifications about responses.
