Slider as Likert Scale
Oct 01, 2020

I would like to use a slider in place of a likert scale rating in a survey. I have the slider and triggers built, but cannot figure out how to capture the data. I tried making it a freeform question, but that doesn't seem to work. I keep getting the message, that you must answer the question and it won't advance. I have searching the forums and can't find anyone who has done something like this, but pretty sure I can't be the first. I tried just using a likert scale, but when you try to make it the ratings 0-10 it looks really messy on the slide.

Hi Karyn
I use sliders in a similar way to what you describe. Is this the sort of thing you're wanting to achieve?

I attach the Storyline file so you can see the triggers used (Note I normally move on to another page to show the results so people can't click the 'done' button more than once).
Does that help?

Yes, but I would also like to capture the data in the SCORM file to report out on. Since it isn't a score, the user doesn't need to see results. What does your PS variable do? I am asking the user to rate the course from 0-10.
Ah - that makes sense. I don't use variables that way so, sorry, I can't help directly - most seem to go with Javascript to make it happen, though I did find this article

which looks like an interesting approach.
Good luck & do let me know if you solve it.
Thank you for the link - definitely going to see if it works. Will happily share what I manage to figure out - if successful.
Was anyone able to explain how to use a slider as a likert scale? The link to Matthew's info isn't working any longer.
Hi Louisa!
I'm not sure if Karyn or Justin are still subscribed to this discussion. You can contact them directly by using the Contact Me button in their ELH profile.
I did find the post where Matthew shared the updated link. Here's the post!
