Ranking
A drag-and-drop ranking field where respondents arrange items in their preferred order. The position indicates priority.
Configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Items | The list of things to rank |
| Display style | How items appear (list, cards) |
| Required | Must be ranked before submitting |
How it works
- Items appear in a default order
- Respondent drags items up or down to reorder
- Position 1 = highest priority, last = lowest
- The ranking order is saved as an array in the submission
Common uses
- Feature prioritization ("Rank these features by importance")
- Product preference ("Order these products from most to least wanted")
- Task priority ("Rank your top 3 priorities")
- Candidate ranking ("Order these candidates by preference")
Note
Ranking works best with 3-7 items. More than 7 becomes tedious for respondents. For longer lists, consider Multiple Choice (select top 3) instead.
Configuration tabs
Every field has 5 configuration tabs when clicked on the form canvas:
| Tab | What you configure |
|---|---|
| Design | Question text, description, placeholder, help text |
| Data | Default value, variable name, prefill from URL parameters |
| Settings | Required/optional, read-only, hidden |
| Validations | Format rules, min/max, custom error messages |
| Image | Attach an image alongside the question |
Using in workflows
When this field is part of a form connected to a workflow via the Form Submission trigger, its value is available as a variable:
{{trigger.fieldName}}
Use it in any downstream node: send it in an email, store it in a database, pass it to an AI node for analysis, or use it in an If-Else condition for routing.
