i want to embed a poll into an article in joomla in an area, only registered users have access too.

How can i manage, that the name of the registerd users is automatically add to the poll, when he is logged in, so that the user only has to make a choice?

You could anonymize voters in the advanced step. This way PollUnit does not ask for a name.
Then you could try to activate URL parameters in the advanced step and append the user name to the url. URL parameters are not visible to participants, so the names are only visible to admins or when exporting your poll.

Anonymize voters did the trick to avoid the guest screen.

I made a easy poll with a dropdown of all users and two checkboxes. The user seaches his name from the dropdown x and clicks on yes or no.

Nevertheless now i have a fourth column at the beginning of each row with the headline "Deine Stimmen" and a name "Anonymous-2e685b9a0f83".

How can i get rid of or hide this additional column?

Sorry for the late reply. Maybe switching the layout to the list style helps you. In the first step you can choose between a table and list layout.

The table layout ist made to see all voters and compare them, thats why we do not offer a ready made solution to hide the name column. You may be able to do this with custom css.

When switching to the list layout each column (but not the name column) will be represented as a box with an input filed.
