Using a Slider Control

A Slider Control lets the respondent select a response by dragging the slider to the position on the bar that represents their response. This can be choosing from a range of quantity values, such as a score from 0 to 10, or from a number of choices, such as Very good to Very poor.

Displaying a question as a Slider Control

You must first create a single-response question, such as Single Choice, Grid or Semantic Scale, or an open-ended quantity question, which you can display as a slider control.

  1. Select the question in the Questionnaire window.
  2. Select Show in the topics drop-down list.
  1. Select As Slider Control in the next drop-down.
  1. Select the Show checkbox to change the question to a Slider Control. Clear the Show checkbox to return to the original question style. The question changes to a grey box for the question. If a Slider Control has been previously defined for this question, that Slider Control is shown.
  2. Double-click the Slider Control area to open the Slider Control wizard. This shows the available Slider Control templates. Click the Advanced button for further options in the Slider Control wizard.
