Range¶

A number the user picks on a slider, between a minimum and a maximum.

Use it for¶

A rating or a satisfaction score, such as 0 to 10.
Any question with a fixed scale where a slider is quicker than typing.

Tip

A slider hides the number until the user moves it. For a value the user knows exactly, such as an age, use Integer.

Settings¶

Every question has a Name, a Label, a Placeholder, Help Text, Required and Skip Logic. See Adding a question. Range adds these.

Setting	Description
Min	The lowest value. Default 0. It cannot be below 0.
Max	The highest value. Default 10.
Step	How much the value moves per step of the slider. Default 1. Whole numbers only.
Prefix, Suffix	Text shown before or after the value in tables and on the record page, such as `km` or `$`. They do not appear on the form.

Min, Max and Step are required. There is no Validation panel. The slider's own Min and Max are the limits.

Validation¶

Required, and the Min and Max of the slider. A value outside them, for example one sent by an import, is refused with a message such as "The number must be 10 or less".

Combinations that matter¶

Skip Logic on another question can compare the value.
A calculated field uses the number in arithmetic, and can average several ratings: (q1 + q2 + q3) / 3.
A value of 0 counts as "not answered" in Skip Logic, as for Integer. Start a scale at 1 when 0 must count as an answer.

How it looks¶

On the web the question is a slider with the minimum and maximum marked under it, and a blue tag that shows the current value. In the 3D app the slider shows the minimum and maximum at each end and the current value in a box on the right.
