Why you should add a range slider to your forms?

Incorporating range sliders into your forms can have many benefits:

  • Enhanced User Experience: Range sliders offer a more engaging and interactive user experience compared to traditional input fields. Users can visually see their selected value and easily adjust it by dragging the slider handle. This intuitive interface can improve user satisfaction and reduce form abandonment rates.
  • Increased Precision: Range sliders allow users to select values with greater precision. This can be particularly useful when collecting data that requires specific numerical inputs.
  • Visual Feedback: As users interact with the range slider, they receive immediate visual feedback. The selected value is displayed in real-time, providing users with a clear understanding of their input. This visual feedback helps users make informed decisions and ensures accuracy in data collection.

How to set type to double/ single?

The terms “single” and “double” refer to the number of handles or controls available on the slider. Here’s an explanation of the difference between single and double-range sliders:

  • Single Range Slider: has one handle that users can drag along the track to select a value within a predefined range. Users can position the handle anywhere within the range to indicate their desired value. Single range sliders are commonly used when you need users to select a single value within a range, such as selecting a specific price point or choosing a value on a scale.
  • Double Range Slider: also known as a dual-handle range slider, features two handles that users can independently manipulate to define a range between two values.  Users can customize the selected range by adjusting the positions of both handles. Double range sliders are useful when you want users to select a range of values, such as selecting a date range, specifying a budget range, or setting a range of quantities

To set, you just want to choose type Single or Double in the box:

How to set min/max value, range,start point, and slider step?

  • Min and Max Value: The min is the value from where the slider value will start, and the max is the value where the slider value ends. If you choose 200 as min and 1000 as max, the user can select a value in between this range.

Look for the Min/Max boxes and enter the minimum and maximum values for the range in the box. 

How to set min/max value, range,start point, and slider step?
Min and Max Value:
  • Start points: This determines the initial position of the handles. Users can move the handles to select different values within the defined range.

Start point for Single Type: it just for the left handle

Start point for Double Type: it for both left and right handle

  • Set Slider Step: The slider step determines the increment or decrement when users slide the range slider handle. To set the step size, look for the “Step” option within the Field Options. Enter the desired numerical value for the step size. For example, if you set the step size to 5, the slider will move in increments of 5 as users interact with it.

How to set custom values?

 It means specifying a specific value or range of values that the user can select within the slider’s range. By setting a custom value, you can define specific points that the user can choose from, rather than allowing them to select any value within the entire range.

E.g: 

We create custom day values by typing in the check box below as format: Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun

You can customize the values on the range slider like below.
