For a ranking question, respondents are asked to order or prioritise a set of items or options based on their preference or importance. The Rank block options are:
  • Require a response: Toggle on/off to require respondents to submit an answer to this question block
  • Show description: Toggle on/off to show/hide text descriptions. Add a text description to the blocks in order to provide additional context to a question block for respondents.
  • Limit rank selections: Toggle on/off to enable limiting the number of rank selections respondents can make:
    • No limit: Respondents can make as many rank selections as there are choices
    • Exact number: Limit respondents to a specific number of rank selections
    • Range: Respondents can make rank selections in a range of choices (e.g. 1-3)
  • Randomise order: Toggle on/off to enable/disable randomisation of the rank options.
  • Use drag and drop to rank: Toggle on/off to enable/disable respondents dragging and dropping the rank choices in a list
    • Enabled: Once you’ve selected this, you’ll find the interface in your survey for this block switch from a list into two columns that allow you to drag and drop the options into a preferences list. All the validation options remain available so you can make a Rank block a “required” question, you can randomise the presentation of the options, and you can require a specific number or responses or a range of response (e.g. “please rank between 1 to 4 of your favourite options”).
