Question type - Multiple numerical input

General 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. The following example uses an advanced setting which checks if the entered numbers match a certain sum:

Note: You can use features of the multiple numerical input question type (like slider layout, max_num_value) even if you only have only one item to rate. Instead of adding multiple subquestions just add the one item you need.

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.
