Short description
This question type is a variation on the "Numerical input" question type. It allows multiple text boxes to be created each of which can only be answered using numbers. Each text box corresponds to an subquestion, and the subquestion text becomes the label for the input.
There are several question attributes which can be used to extend the functionality of this question type. This example uses an advanced setting which checks if the entered numbers match a certain sum.

The slider layout
By activating the 'Slider layout' setting in the Advanced settings the usual input box is converted into a slider and also can be controlled by various additional advanced settings. The general look of the slider (colors, handle graphic) is determined via css which in the default template is defined by the .ui-slider class.

Random answer order (random_order)
Description
Deprecated for Answer Options : As of 5.5.0, this attribute is not longer used for ordering answer options. Please see QS:Answer_order
This attribute causes LimeSurvey to ignore the existing order of answer options/subquestions, and instead it orders them randomly. This option permits the survey creator to diminish the survey bias. Please note that if a question has subquestions, the order of subquestions will be randomized, not the order of the answer options.
Available options
- Yes - Randomize when participant enters survey
- No (default)
Hide tip (hide_tip)
Description
Most questions will usually include a tip that says "Please choose one of the following options" or a hint text on how to fill out the question. This attribute allows you to turn off or on this tips/hints.
These tips/hints include validation criteria messages (such as min/max number of answers, min/max/equals sum value). If hide_tip is enabled, these messages will be hidden. However, if the user enters invalid data, the tips will appear. They will be coloured in red, getting changed to green once the validation criteria are met.
Available options
- On - the tips/hints are hidden;
- Off (default).
Description
If enabled, the question will always be hidden - it will not be displayed to the survey participants. This function can be used in the following scenarios:
- If you wish to prefill a question with a URL and you want not to have it displayed on the screen. This overrides any conditions used within the survey because the respective question will not even be embedded on the page.
- If you wish to store or calculate a value on the fly via the ExpressionScript - Presentation.
Note: A common question type that is used with this function is the Equation one.Available options
- On
- Off (default)
