Card Rating Element

1:  About the Card Rating Element

The Card Rating element utilizes a single select form and must contain multiple cards (rows) and multiple buttons (columns). To interact with this question, the participant views the cards one at a time and selects one button to rate (or categorize) each card. Once rated, the carousel of cards automatically advances to display the next card.

5:  Limitations

The Card Rating element has a few limitations. See the sections below for details regarding its supported browsers and additional question design considerations.

5.1:  Participant View Browser Support

• The Internet Explorer 9 browser does not support animations or transitions.
• Android 5.0+ is required for participant view browsers.

5.2:  Question Design & Recommendations

• Card Rating design does not support "Optional" for the question or buttons. It is recommended that you select "Mandatory" while setting the general options, described above.
• There is no support for adding images to buttons or text beyond a small length underneath a button.
• When adding cards, the text inside a card is centered. There is no option for text left or right alignment.
• It is recommended that you try to limit the number of characters used for cards and buttons as the text may not fit well on the display. Currently, there is not anything to limit the number of characters in the UI.
