Vote Count (on Gallery element)

The Vote Count that displays on a Contest entry in the Gallery Element is based on the number of votes submitted by app visitors for that entry over a time period. The time period is the same as specified in the Contest Entry restrictions on the app. Entry restriction options include:

  • Per Day
  • Per Week
  • Per 2 Weeks

For example, if you restrict voting to once per day, the Vote Count for entries displays the number of votes for that one day only. If you restrict votes to one vote per week, the Vote Count displays as the number of votes for the past week.
