How do GroupSolver Ranking questions work?

Ranking questions give respondents a range of options they can rank in order of highest to lowest importance, assigning value to the options provided. Ranking questions allow you to see which ideas may be of greater significance to your audience. This question type on our platform will appear to respondents as shown below:

Click the "+" and select the Ranking question.

A text box will appear on the left panel of the Study design. Start typing your question inside the Question box. You may modify the "seconds to read" portion if you'd like to force respondents to spend more time reading the text before being shown the options. The default is always 1 second.

Note: We recommend 1-3 seconds for each sentence in the question.

You may add/upload stimuli by clicking on the "Media Manager" icon. You can upload any images, videos, gifs, etc., relevant to your Choice question.

Once your question is created, click on "Options" to add your Ranking options and customize it to your liking.

The dashboard will give your question a generic name, but to ease navigation in the future, make sure to give your module a relevant unique identifier in "Display name."

For the "Input method," you have the option to either "drag and drop" the options according to their ranks or "select the ranking from the dropdown menu," where you will have the choice to assign unique ranks to the options or not.

The Option label is the list of options for a particular question. To enter a name for the option, click in the text field and start writing.

Clicking on "three dots" next to the option name will give you the following options:

The Code is a numerical value automatically assigned to each option in the choice questions. You can change this number manually. If you want to reset the codes, click the "recycle button."

Clicking the down-facing arrow will open more options to edit:

If you want to add a new option, click "Add option."

You also may paste your options from Excel by selecting an Option and then pasting. All option types must be presented in different cells, and you also need to remove any formatting (bullets or numbered lists).

Clicking the three dots on the top right side of the panel will open more options:
