Slider not showing intermediate response options

[danielmlow]

There is an activity where all items were set to radio. The slider looks much nicer.

However, when I try setting one of the items to slider, only the first and last response options appear.

You can see the value constraints have names for all levels:

this is intentionally done this way. the labels for each of the points could be a long(ish) string and would perhaps look clumsy if all are mentioned by default.
@satra should all the labels be present by default? or dependent on anything?

[satra]

you could make it a ui parameter potentially. but i agree in most cases sticking all the labels will make the cleanliness go away.

[danielmlow]

Yeah, let's make a ui parameter. Can't people add <br> to the labels so it appears on two rows?

[sanuann]

how about placing the labels in the tooltip?
(2 rows of labels - name and values, wouldn't look good anyways i think)

[danielmlow]

What's a tooltip?

Would
work? Then I can place the labels on 2 rows so they don't overlap horizontly.

please do consider a phone screen when testing. a number of options that may look good on a computer don't work well on a phone.

good point. thanks for that reminder.

i'll send you a screenshot in some time

[sanuann]

also, I just had a thought - if you want to show all the labels then wouldn't it be better to show the question as a radio item?
How does one decide when to have a radio vs slider?

[danielmlow]

Yes, we're currently using radio option. But multiple people said slider looks a lot nicer and than switching between slider and radio can be confusing. If we can put labels on two or more rows with
than it should work.

Placing on the tooltip could work, but the labels may still be long and overlap without

[satra]

@danielmlow - are they doing it on a phone? tooltips are a little difficult and require people to actually hover. so that may not be a useful tool in this context. given the different viewports of devices, if one wants labels on every point, i think the radio button may be the best option.

I second this.

[sanuann]

or maybe we can have another label at the midpoint.

[danielmlow]

That's fair, I guess we'll do radio for now.

Sanu, some questionnaires have labels for all responses, so we can't choose what labels to use, we need to use them all to match the questionnaire.
