Question

Embedding a sliding scale into Captivate

Does anyone know if there's a way to embed a sliding scale into a Captivate question? I want to have the question ask, "On a scale of 1-10 how much do you like something" and then user would slide the scale accordingly. The only thing I see is a Likert scale which is slightly different than that. As a workaround I recreated my question to fit into a Likert scale, but if there is a way to embed a 1-10 scale for this question, I think that would be better. Thanks!

If the output you are publishing to is SWF and not HTML5 then the Infosemantics Slider Widget can create this type of interaction:

@Rod I'm missing those component widgets a lot, too bad most clients now ask for HTML output.

One day in future we intend to look at what we could do to use CpExtra's codebase to help out with similar functionality in HTML5.  But that's still a ways off at present.

If your target is HTML output, I don't know about any widget that would make a 'sliding' scale possible. It is certainly not possible out of the box in Captivate.

As for Likert questions (which is not supported for Responsive projects), the maximum rating scale has 5 radio buttons.

If you want a 10-scale with radiobuttons, use the radiobuttons learning interaction. You'll need some variables and advanced/shared actions in that case.

Another idea: you can use states (if you are on CP9) to 'show' the chosen scale in a more visual way.
