Glow Cloud Kit · Pulse

Ask, and actually find out.

Polls and pulse surveys answered on the intranet page itself, with results designed to be read rather than exported. Two web parts in one install, and no Graph permissions at all.

Two web parts, one install, one licence

GCK Quick Poll

One question, answered in place

Drop a single question on the homepage. People vote, see the result immediately, and can change their mind or look at the totals before answering. Ideal for the light, frequent questions nobody would open a survey for.

GCK Pulse

A full survey, with its own dashboard

A multi-question pulse with an intro screen, one question per step, a progress bar and a completion state - plus a results dashboard you can put on a different page for everyone to read.

Six question types

Choice Scale 1-5 NPS 0-10 Star rating Ranking Free text

Mix them freely in one pulse. Each type gets a results panel built for it - shares and counts for choice, a distribution and average for scales and ratings, promoters and detractors for NPS, and a word cloud plus the comments themselves for free text.

Five designs to match your site: Classic, Pill, Vibrant, Bold, Midnight.

Beyond an embedded form

The question people answer, because it is right there.

Answered on the page, not in a form

No tab switch, no separate site, no waiting for someone to export a spreadsheet. The question is on the page people already opened, and the result appears the moment they answer.

Six question types, no JSON

Choice, an agreement scale, NPS scored 0-10, star ratings, ranking and free text - built in a visual editor on the page. There is no schema to hand-write and no list to create first.

Results that are designed, not exported

Counts and shares with animated bars, a distribution with its average, and every panel available as a plain table for accessibility. The output is something you would put on a page, not a CSV somebody has to chart.

NPS done properly

A real Net Promoter Score, split into promoters, passives and detractors with the score above it - rather than an average out of ten, which is not what NPS means.

A word cloud from free text

Themes in written answers are sized by how often they come up, so a hundred comments become a picture you can read in seconds - and the individual comments stay where they are.

Trends across pulses

Participation over successive pulses on one sparkline, so you can see whether people are engaging more or less over time, not just how this one went.

Vote, peek, or change your mind

People can look at the results before answering, and change their vote while the poll is open. Both are choices most polls take away, and both make people more willing to answer honestly.

Five designs, and your theme

Classic, Pill, Vibrant, Bold and Midnight, each picking up your site's accent colour. Surfaces stay clean on a coloured page section rather than taking on its colour.

We will not promise anonymity SharePoint cannot keep

Answers are stored in a SharePoint list in your own tenant, and SharePoint records who created every item. So Pulse does not claim to be anonymous. What it does instead is limit who can see what, and say so on the page: ordinary users can read and edit only their own response, list administrators can read them all exactly as they could with any list, and everyone else sees a published snapshot of the totals, never anyone's raw answers.

Tools that promise anonymity on top of SharePoint storage are promising something the platform does not give them. We would rather tell your people the truth, so the answers you get are worth having. No Graph permissions, and nothing leaves your tenant.

Questions

Pulse FAQ

Is it one web part or two?

Two, in a single install and on a single licence. Quick Poll puts one question on a page - ideal for a homepage - and Pulse runs a full multi-question survey with its own results dashboard. Add whichever a page needs, or both.

Are responses anonymous?

No, and Pulse never claims they are - SharePoint cannot honour that promise. Answers are stored in a SharePoint list in your own tenant. Ordinary users can read and edit only their own response; list administrators can read them all, exactly as they could with any SharePoint list. What everyone else sees is a published snapshot of the totals, never anyone's raw answers, and the web part says so on the page rather than hiding it.

What question types are there?

Six: choice, an agreement scale, NPS scored 0-10, star rating, ranking, and free text. You build them in a visual editor on the page - there is no JSON to write and no list to create first.

Does it need Microsoft Graph permissions?

No, none at all. Pulse runs as the signed-in user over SharePoint's own API, so there is nothing for an admin to consent to and nothing leaves your tenant.

Can we schedule a pulse?

Yes. Set an opens-on and a closes-on date; before it opens and after it closes the part shows results rather than the questions. You can also set the invited audience size so participation is shown as a percentage rather than a bare count.

How is Pulse licensed?

Pulse is licensed per tenant with unlimited users and sites, from £29/month, on a 14-day free trial. A card is required to start the trial; cancel before it ends and you are not charged. There are no licence keys to manage: activate your tenant once in the customer portal and the app licenses itself automatically.
