Below you will find details about how to configure each of the possible Question Display Types.

Slider Question Responses

If Slider is chosen as the Display type:

1. Under Answer Sliders at the bottom of the New/Edit Question form, click + Add new.
2. Set a label for the slider in the Text field.
3. Set the values for the slider:
• Min value: The lowest value the user can select.
• Max value: The largest value the user can select.
• Default value: The value the slider will start at.
• Step: The increments by which the user can adjust the slider.
4. If needed, set the Value field parameter:
• DEFAULT: Slider increments numerically from min to max value.
• AND_UP: Same as DEFAULT except the max value has a plus sign (+).
• DOLLARS ($k): Slider scale is given in thousands of dollars.
• DOLLARS: Slider scale is given in dollars.
• DOLLARS_AND_UP: Same as DOLLARS except the max value has a plus sign (+).
• PERCENT: Slider scale is given in percentage.
• YEARS: Slider scale is given in years.
5. If needed, adjust the Param scale min and Param scale max. This weighs the results of the user’s answer in the Parameter for the question. If the scale is set in such a way that a lower response is better, then these numbers should be reversed. (For example, a lower Age would indicate a higher Risk Tolerance, so the min weighting would be higher than the max weighting.)
