A slider question, also called a **visual analogue scale**, or VAS, asks for a value on a range. It has
more settings than most question types, and each one changes what the respondent sees.

## Min and max value [#min-and-max-value]

The ends of the range. Zero to 10, or zero to 20, or whatever the instrument specifies.

For a validated instrument, use its range rather than a rounder one. Changing the range changes what the
score means.

## Min and max label [#min-and-max-label]

Text giving the ends meaning, such as whether 1 means bad or good.

If both are left empty, no description shows on the scale, which is fine for a scale respondents already
know and confusing for one they don't.

## Step value [#step-value]

How big each jump is. On a 0 to 10 scale:

* Step value 1 lets the respondent pick 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
* Step value 2 lets them pick 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

## Show min and max values [#show-min-and-max-values]

Whether the numbers at each end are displayed.

## Slider value tooltip visible [#slider-value-tooltip-visible]

Whether the respondent sees their current value in a tooltip while dragging the handle.

Showing it helps precision, and hiding it suits instruments where a felt response matters more than a
considered number.
