Will these sliders be available for all studies? What happens to my existing sliders? Will my existing sliders still work if I migrate my study to the new web surveys experience?

Castor is formally releasing its new web surveys view in Castor CDMS 2023.4 (more details here.) A big change as part of that release is the introduction of a new, more flexible slider field. For users of our older slider fields many of the options available will be familiar with some additional, more granular options to give you more control over how sliders are presented to your participants.

 

 

Configuring ticks in the new slider field

 

Field

Used for

Label

Field text that will be displayed to the participant (typically question text e.g. Indicate your level of pain on the slider)

Variable name

Defining the database value of the field - used for calculations, summary fields and data exports

Required

Whether the field requires a response before the participant can proceed to the next form, page or field dependent on form configuration

Slider orientation (New)

Whether the slider is displayed vertically or horizontally

Lower/Upper limit

Determine the lower and upper bounds of the slider numerically

Lower/Upper limit label

Define the labels to be displayed at the lower/upper bounds of the slider

Slider increment

Determine by how many ‘steps’ a slider will move based on user input

Display slider ticks (New)

Determine whether ticks are displayed on the slider

Major/Minor ticks (New)

Display (or not) ticks or markers along the slider

Tick increment (New)

Determine on which step(s) the tick should be displayed

(Major tick) Display number (New)

For major ticks, display the relevant number to the user

Measurement unit

Unit displayed next to displayed, selected values for the field (e.g. ml, KG, lbs)

Help text

Configuring help text to be displayed next to the slider, providing additional guidance for using the field

 

Will these sliders be available for all studies?

The new sliders will become available for users of the modern web surveys experience as of release 2023.4 of Castor CDMS. We intend to make this slider the default for all forms on an ongoing basis as we continue to update the remaining form types in the platform (study visits, repeating data) in future releases. Initially, the new slider will only be available for users of the modern web surveys.

What happens to my existing sliders?

If you are working on an existing study and have not migrated to the new web surveys experience - nothing! New sliders are only visible/configurable in modern web surveys.

Will my existing sliders still work if I migrate my study to the new web surveys experience?

Yes! Existing sliders will be updated to the new configuration when you migrate. For instance, if you had a slider with ticks and bounds of 0-100 pre-configured in an existing study - that slider would be transformed into its equivalent in the new slider with major ticks and bounds of 0 and 100. Consistent with our recommendations for migrating to the new surveys more generally, we recommend that users check their slider configuration for consistency and presentation to users.
