Integrating Flowics with VizArtist
1. Import the Flowics Social Poll scene in VizArtist.

4. Check the configuration of the following elements:
Control Objects.
Outerlayers: DataObject and DataReader plugins.
Itemscontroller: DataArray and DataReader plugins.
Control Objects
On each feed path enter the local XML path.
Outlayers - DataReader
This DataReader is going to read the social poll Title/Question and the call to action. This plugin must be configured as follows:
Outlayers - DataObject
This plugin must be configured as follow:
Field name: poll
Notify Only On Change: off
Type: SocialPollFlowicsData
Itemscontroller - DataReader
This second DataReader is going to read the poll options, like name, percentage, progress bar, and image. This plugin must be configured as follows:
Itemscontroller - DataArray
This plugin must be configured as follow:
Fiel Name: data[4]
Notify Only On Change: off
User Other Container: off
Use Conversion Table: off
Type: SocialPollFlowicsData
Items Containers
Each item container represents an option of the poll. For example, if your poll has more than 4 answer options, you should add an item container for each additional option.
The scene automatically adjusts the items within the poll. This is thanks to the Justifier plugin. In this example, the scene supports up to four options. For more options, you need to add more items. Social Poll Middleware Source
