Interfaceosid.voting.rules.BallotConstrainerEnablerSmartPollsSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic polls. A BallotConstrainerEnablerQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Polls to create a virtual collection of ballot constrainer enablers. The ballot constrainer enablers may be sequenced using the BallotConstrainerEnablerSearchOrder from this session.

This Polls has a default query that matches any ballot constrainer enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a BallotConstrainerEnablerQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a BallotConstrainerEnablerQuery.
