Slider

This article explains the "Slider" response type in audit templates. The "Slider" response type allows auditors to select a value on a scale within a defined range. It is convenient for evaluating metrics that fall within a specific interval.

It is crucial to set the range of values correctly so that the auditor can provide an answer in any scenario. For example, if the actual room temperature can range from 10 to 30 degrees, set the appropriate range to avoid situations where the auditor cannot input the actual value.

    • Select the "Slider" response type from the available options.

  3. Configure the question settings:

    • Question Text: Enter the question, for example, "What is the room temperature?".

    • Value Range:

      • Specify the minimum and maximum slider values.
      • For example, minimum 10, maximum 30.

    • Slider Step (optional):

      • Set the increment for value changes, such as 0.5 for half a degree or 1 for a whole degree.

  4. Set the correct answer - Choose a comparison type:

    • Equals
    • Not equals
    • Greater than
    • Greater than or equals
    • Less than
    • Less than or equals
    • Between
    • Not between

    Provide the relevant comparison values.

    For example, if the acceptable temperature range is between 18 and 25 degrees, select "Between" and specify 18 and 25.

  5. Additional settings:

  6. Save changes:

    • The template will automatically save after configuring the question.

Usage Examples​

  • Room temperature: "What is the room temperature?" with a range from 10 to 30 degrees.
  • Noise level: "Specify the noise level in decibels" with a range from 30 to 100 dB.
  • Humidity percentage: "What is the humidity level?" with a range from 0 to 100%.

Notes and Tips​

Notes and Tips

  • Set the correct range: Ensure the slider’s range covers all possible values the auditor might encounter. This prevents situations where the auditor cannot input the actual value.

  • Specify measurement units: Always include measurement units (degrees, percentages, meters, etc.) in the question text.

  • Use slider step: Setting the step allows you to control the precision of values auditors can select.

  • Test the question: Before publishing the template, preview and test the question to ensure the slider functions properly and the range is accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)​

Question: What happens if the actual value exceeds the slider’s range?
Answer: The auditor will not be able to input a value outside the range. Ensure the range encompasses all possible values.

Question: Can I change the slider step?
Answer: Yes, you can set the slider step to define how values increment (e.g., 1, 0.5, 0.1, etc.).

Question: Can decimal values be used on the slider?
Answer: Yes, by setting an appropriate slider step, auditors can select decimal values.

Question: Can I set a correct answer for the slider?
Answer: Yes, you can set a correct answer using comparison types (equals, greater than, between, etc.) for automatic compliance assessment.

Question: What if the values being assessed include negative numbers?
Answer: You can set the slider’s minimum value to a negative number if required.
