The Scale Slider question provides a way to present scale questions in a slider format, making satisfaction and scale questions engaging for your participants.
Presenting this type of question as a scale also makes the question's intention clearer for participants, leading to more accurate answers. The Scale Slider question is not a continuous scale on which participants can place the slider anywhere. The slider snaps to points along the scale which are marked with specific scalar values.
Note: In mobile surveys, this question type is displayed as a Grid
question.
The image below shows the parts of a scale slider.
Definitions of scale slider parts:
- Slider: the object that participants place on a specific point of the scale.
- Scale: the area where the slider can be placed.
- Scale Label: a text label used to describe points along the scale.
- Scalar Value: a numeric value assigned to each point along the scale where participants may place the slider.
- Row Label: a text label used to describe each scale.
- Off-Scale Column: a column that is not part of the scale. It is used for options such as "Don't Know" and "Not Applicable".
You can create a scale slider question with up to 100 scale rows each with up to 25 scale values.
Note: If you create a Scale Slider question with only one row and that row
does not have a label, the corresponding title for the row will be blank in
your report.
