Adding sliders in monitorQA is a quick and easy response type for auditors and inspectors to indicate a score on a particular item.
In order to create a slider, first, you will need to build an Audit Template or edit an existing Audit Template.
In the ‘response type’ dropdown, choose “Slider”.
Next, you will select how many increments you want to make the slider as well as the range. In the example below, we have increments of 1 and a range from 1 - 10.
The next step is to create ranges of values. You will be presented with 2 options. Use the Manually Adjusted Segments or drag the set intervals.
We’ll start with the ‘Manually Adjust Segments’ first:
Each range of values can produce a different score for the audit, and it can trigger a failed response to the question.
You should create the value ranges starting from the lowest value to the highest value.
Select the “+” symbol to add more ranges.
Indicate the cut-off values for each range to make sure there are no overlaps and make sure to set the value increments from lowest to highest.
In order to ensure there are no overlapping values, use “less than or equal to” or “greater than or equal to” so it does not conflict with the adjacent range.
Decimals
Values in the ranges can be extended to three decimal places. When using decimals, it is important to make sure values are adjacent, but not overlapping to the same decimal place.
Now let's begin with the newly updated Slider Interval dragging method. This method was designed to be a simpler option and setting the values for your Sliders.
Simply select the edit option after choosing the Slider response type.
You will then be presented with the option to Manually Adjust Segments or not. Keep the toggle off if you want to us the slider handles.
From here you will drag the slider to the intervals you need which will determine the score and response.
After you are finished, you may select save.
If you’re giving a score of 0, simply move the slider forward and then back to 0 to register the value.
Publishing Changes
Keep in mind, you will get errors along the way until the validation of values are completed.
Once the values are set and the red barriers are gone you may complete the slider and “Save Draft” or “Publish”
