Formula ranking widgets is very handy if you have custom formula calculations in your questionnaire and want to present formula results to the respondent in a certain order (hight to low or vice versa).

The results will be presented along with explanatory text or images directly below each formula.

Here's how a formula ranking could look like in your report:

Lets see how to configure this chart!

1. Add a Formula ranking widget

To add a Formula ranking widget to the page, all you have to do is click on it and drag and drop it on the page.

Once you add the widget a pop-up window will open where you can add your content.

2. Setup your widget

The main building block of this graph is KPI. Start by adding the formulas which you want to display: click Add KPI to add the first one. These are the settings you will see:

Choose your formula from the drop-down menu. Start by adding the formulas which you want to display.
The Description is the text which will be displayed under the result. You can also add images here.
Click Add KPI to add as many formulas as you need.
Toggle to show or hide the formula titles.
Toggle to show or hide the formula results.
Use the drop-down arrow to choose how to sort the results. Available options: No sorting (the default option), Low to High or Hight to Low.
You can set the limit of how many formulas to show. You can add as many as you like, and then choose to limit by 3 formulas. As such, if you've added 10, only the results of the 3 highest- or lowest-scoring formulas will be shown in the PDF report.

Don't forget to click Save and close to save your setup.

NOTE

You can add images and text formatting in the description.

3. Additional settings

Select the widget and then at the right of the screen click on the Settings button. The widget list will be replaced by the additional settings.

Here you can find the following settings:

ID
Name
Rules
Margins

1. ID

This is the ID of the widget.

2. Name

You can name your widget to identify it easier.

3. Rules

You can add your widget logic rules to ensure that your content will be visible only when the conditions are true.

4. Margins

Add margins to create space around elements and move them on your page. By default, the margins are set to 0, but you can change that anytime and add the margin you prefer.

4. Additional buttons

When you click on your widget, 4 blue buttons appear in the upper right corner.

The Arrow allows you to move between the different layers of the page. For example if you add a widget in a column then you have 3 layers: the page, the column and the widget. The arrow allows you to quickly select a different layer.

The second icon, the four arrow sign, allows you to move your widget up or down to the page.

The third icon, the page, allows you to copy this widget and the forth icon, the bin, to delete it.
