How do I add a slider question?

Slider questions are a powerful tool for gathering numeric answers, such as customer satisfaction, or a number within a range.

An example slider question asking "How many people would you like to book for?" 21 has been chosen in the allowed range between 5 and 50.

To add a Slider field to your form, follow our step-by-step instructions below:

Using slash commands

  1. On a blank line in the form editor, type /slider and select "Slider" from the popup menu.
  2. Enter details for the question title and description.
  3. Use the Configuration panel to the right of the question to set up question-specific behavior, such as Conditional Logic.
On a blank line, type "/slider" and select "Slider" from the popup menu.

Using action buttons

  1. In the form editor, click the line where you want to add a slider field. Click the "Add questions" icon to the left or the "Add Question" button below an existing question.

    Select a blank line, and click the Add questions icon from the popup menu on the left, or click the Add Question icon below a previous question.
  2. Select "Slider" from the question type dropdown on the right of the new question.

  3. Enter details for the question title and description.

  4. Use the Configuration panel to the right of the question to set up question-specific behavior, such as Conditional Logic.

Configuration Options

Minimum and Maximum values

The minimum and maximum settings allow you to set the range for your slider. Users submitting your form will only be able to move the slider between the two numbers you provide, allowing for more refined control over your form experience.

Step

The step value allows you to control how granular you would like answers. A step of 1 means each step on the slider goes up by 1, allowing any number between your minimum and maximum values to be chosen. A step of 10 means each step on the slider goes up by 10.

Changing labels

There are two options available for changing your slider's labels:

  • Hide the min and max labels - This option allows you to hide the labels for the minimum and maximum values. This can be useful when you want a cleaner design.
  • Hide the value label - This option allows you to hide the label for the slider value (the small circle you move to change the question answer).

Setting a Default answer

You can change the default position of the slider in your question configuration. Drag it along the line to your desired default position. If you change your mind later, click "REMOVE DEFAULT ANSWER." This will reset the default to the minimum value.

Drag the Default answer slider to set a default value. Click "REMOVE DEFAULT ANSWER" to reset the default to the minimum value.
