How do respondents answer this type of field?

Your respondents have two methods of answering Rank fields, these are listed below:

• 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

Type 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.
