Using Form Range Inputs for Custom Forms

Range Inputs are one of the question options for Custom Forms which allow users to answer a question on a numerical scale. This is incredibly useful with our Proposal Application System by gathering a broad consensus in a convenient manner.

1. Creating A Range Input Question

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Advanced > Custom Forms
2. Select a prefilled form or create a new custom form
3. Under the Name field, enter the name of the form
4. Under the Category field, select General Survey
5. Under the Description field, enter any additional information you may wish to include for the question
6. Scroll down to the bottom of the form and select Add Question 
7. Select the option at the bottom of the field labelled Range Input which will give your form the option to attach files
   1. Toggle on the Required checkbox to require users to answer this question before submission
   2. Toggle on the Hide Question checkbox if you wish to hide the question
   3. Toggle on the Dropdown checkbox to have the range inputs to appear as a dropdown instead of as a slider
   4. Under the Name field, enter the name of the question.
   5. Under the Description field, enter any additional information you may wish to include for the question
   6. Under the Min Range field, select the minimum number that will appear on the scale

2. Testing Range Inputs

Range Input questions will appear as a slider, users simply click and drag the button to their preferred selection. If the Dropdown checkbox is enabled, the numerical options will instead appear as a dropdown.
