You can convert a quantity question to a Slider Control. Respondents can drag the slider along the bar to show a given quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Slider Controls for quantity questions are very similar to those used for single-response questions, but they do not have the associated graphics for each code point. Instead, you need to supply a range of values for the quantity. You can either display a code box so that respondents can type in a numeric value, or display the draggable Slider Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Using a template Slider Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. In the Questionnaire<\/strong> window, select the quantity question that you wish to turn into a Slider Control<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select Show<\/strong> in the toolbar topics, then select As Slider Control<\/strong> in the drop-down list, and check the Show <\/strong>box. The Questionnaire window changes to display a grey box for the question. If a Slider Control has been previously defined for this question the selected Slider Control is displayed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Double-click the Slider Control<\/strong> area to open the Slider Control<\/strong> wizard. The existing slider bar templates will be displayed. The default templates show five code positions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select the one with the bar you wish to use. It will appear in preview, allowing you to move the slider to see how it displays at different settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The associated code graphics shown in the template window do not appear for quantity questions. They are only available for coded questions. Instead, you have a code box for respondents to enter their value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you wish to change the code box visibility and location:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Select Advanced.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Click Next<\/strong> until you get to the Code labels\/ response box<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Change Size<\/strong> to the required size of the code box (the proportion of space the box uses)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Change Horizontal space<\/strong> to change the distance from the left edge that the response box appears.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Settings<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Click Finish<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        <\/a>Creating a new Slider Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. In the Questionnaire<\/strong> window, select the quantity question that you wish to turn into a Slider Control<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Select Show<\/strong> in the toolbar topics, then select As Slider Control<\/strong> in the drop-down list, and check the Show box. The Questionnaire window changes to display a grey box for the question. If a Slider Control<\/strong> has been previously defined for this question the selected Slider Control<\/strong> is displayed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Double click the grey area to open the Slider Control wizard<\/strong>. The existing Slider Control<\/strong> templates will be displayed. The default templates show five code positions, but this will be changed to fit the number of codes that exist in your question.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Click Advanced <\/strong>without selecting a template. You are taken to the Bar section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Click Browse<\/strong> to find an image to use as the bar for your Slider Control.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"Setting<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. If the image is greyscale, you can change the color by using the Colourize <\/strong>button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Click Next<\/strong> to go to the scale marker page. These mark divisions on the bar. You can ignore these for a quantity slider.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Click Next<\/strong> to choose an image to use for the slider that respondents drag or stretch across the bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Click Next<\/strong> to set how the Slider Control behaves. Clear the Use steps<\/strong> box so the respondent can position the slider wherever they like on the bar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Setting<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Click Next<\/strong> to set the maximum and minimum values respondents can enter. You can also set the position of the code box to type in a response and the direction the slider travels in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"Settings<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. When you have made all the changes, click Finish<\/strong>. You have the options to save your Slider Control as a template.
