How do I add a rank question to my form?

Paperform provides Ranking fields for your forms, allowing respondents to rank a list of options in an order they see fit.

You can add a new Ranking field to your form in one of two ways.

Using slash commands

1. Select the blank line in the editor where you want the field to be.
2. Type /rank.
3. Either select the Rank type from the list or press Enter.
4. Fill in your desired details (title, description).
5. Configure your question on the Configuration panel to set up question-specific behavior, such as Conditional Logic.

Using action buttons

1. In the form editor, click the line where you want to add an question field. Click the "+" icon to the left or the "Add Question" button below an existing question.
2. Select the desired field type from the dropdown on the right of the new question.
3. Enter details for the question title and description.
4. Configure your question on the Configuration panel to set up question-specific behavior, such as Conditional Logic.

How do respondents answer this type of field?

Drag and Drop

Using the drag handle on the right-hand side of each selected option, respondents can simply drag each option to their desired rank position.

Number Dropdown

Using the number dropdown on the left-hand side of each selected option, respondents can manually select the rank position of each option. This is especially useful for large lists of options.

Options

Types of rank field

Rank all the items

This option requires the respondent to rank all of the available options provided in the field.

When "Rank all the items" is disabled, this allows the respondent to select from the list of options provided, and then rank those individual options instead of the full list. This can be useful for cases where not all of the options apply to every respondent.

The options listed below are also available when this option is disabled:

Minimum number of answers

The minimum number of options a respondent must select for the form to be submitted.

Maximum number of answers

The maximum number of options a respondent can select for the form to be submitted.

Default answer

You can set a default answer for your field by using the demonstration field provided. To remove any selected default answers, simply click the "Remove Default Answer" button appearing at the bottom of the field.

Gotchas

• You can use a maximum of 20 options per Ranking question.
