Risk Tolerance Question Settings per Type

Risk Tolerance Question Settings per Type

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.)

Multiple Choice Question Responses

If Multiple Choice is chosen as the Display type:

  1. Under Answer Choices at the bottom of the New/Edit Question form, click + Add new.
  2. Enter the appropriate data in the fields available:
    • Text: The text the user will see for the option in the multiple-choice list.
    • Int value: Based on the Parameter setting of the question, this is the value that affects either the Risk Score or Asset Class Complexity (ie, “track”).
    • Is Hidden?: Hides the response from the available answers.
    • Allow text: Enabling this box provides the user with a field to enter more data after the option. The remaining fields only apply if Allow Text is selected.
      • Value field: Controls the type of data the user can enter in this new field: Text, Numeric, or Dollars.
      • Label:
      • Helper:
      • Min Value: The lowest value a numeric or dollar value type will accept.
      • Max Value: The largest value a numeric or dollar value type will accept.
  3. Repeat the Add New process for each option you want to be in the Multiple-Choice list.
Note: Only standard Multiple Choice Questions can affect Logic Rules or Asset Class Complexity.
