Feature Requests item #560585, was opened at 2002-05-25 17:20 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=358956&aid=560585&group_id=8956 Category: survey format Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: text labels for rating scale Initial Comment: the "rate" scale is static with numbers ranging from 1 to n. I would like that to be assignable so I can have text, for instance. Instead of a scale of "1 -2 -3 - 4 - 5 - N/A", I want to be able to implement a scale like: "Great - OK - Opinion Free - Not OK - Sucks - N/A" or anything else (and blank values, especially for interim points on the scale, would be acceptable). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Flemer (jimmerman) Date: 2002-07-11 10:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=39444 Yes, logart. That is the problem. One idea is to change the storage model for the surveys from SQL to XML, which would make this type of feature possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stephen Lawrence (logart) Date: 2002-07-11 10:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14468 The tough part about doing this is that you would have to capture both the reponse text value, along with the numerical value. Right now, the response_rank table is set up with all INT datatypes. There would have to be anther field added to that table of type VARCHAR or something that would contain the textual meaning of the answer. You need to capture the text along with the number in case you change the text values of the ratings later on. You would then skew the data because, for example, "1" used to mean good but now "1" is bad. If you don't save the "good" or "bad" along with each record, you would never know the numbers represent. right? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=358956&aid=560585&group_id=8956 |

The data for the tooltips is currently embedded in an array in a new file. Tooltip code is provided by http://mojavelinux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127 If there is interest, I'd be happy to post the source for this enhancement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Flemer (jimmerman) Date: 2002-07-11 11:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=39444 Yes, logart.
