Forms - Form Builder

Hello Ray,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, I was unable to access the https://formbuilder.hastl.com/ service as I'm not logged in. However, I got the idea of what you're trying to achieve based on your questions.

• Can radio buttons return values for impact and likelihood
• Can we multiply those two values within the form to give risk rating

A Radio button is a question type that allows users to select one option from a list of choices. Each radio button typically represents a single choice, and only one option can be selected at a time. Radio buttons are commonly used for mutually exclusive options, where the user must choose one option among several.
However, radio buttons do not inherently capture or return values; they are a means of user input. To capture and return values for "impact" and "likelihood," you would typically pair radio buttons with programming logic that assigns numerical or categorical values to the selected options.
For example, if you're conducting a risk assessment and you have radio buttons for "impact" with options like "Low," "Medium," and "High," and radio buttons for "likelihood" with similar options, you might associate numeric values with these choices like: View Demo.

• Low impact: 1
• Medium impact: 2
• High impact: 3

When a user selects their choices using the radio buttons, you would use the associated values (e.g., 1, 2, 3) to perform calculations or store the results.

Alternatively, you could use a Rating scale to capture these values. A rating scale typically allows users to rate something on a numeric scale, such as from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10, where each value corresponds to a level of impact or likelihood.

In summary, both regular radio buttons and rating scales can be suitable for capturing and returning values for "impact" and "likelihood." However, it's essential to have the code which further process these values and calculates the resultant value (e.g., a risk rating).

For instance, you can use a SurveyJS Form Library's API to handle survey completion and calculate the total rating value.

An example of calculating the total score based on individual question answers is a Scored Survey. In this demo, we register a custom 'score' property for items of Radiogroup, Rating and other question types to produce a final score. You can review the demo documentation and code listing for more details.

Can we then categorise the product of the multiplication to assign low (1-3) / moderate (4- 7) / significant (8-14) / high score (14+)

Please excuse me, but this task was unclear. Would you please elaborate on it? If possible, share some illustrations.

I look forward to your reply

Hi Jane,

Thanks for this. By the sounds of it the top 2 are possible. I am getting more information from the customer about what fields they want to calculate for the 3rd query - Once I get an update I will respond. Likely in the next day or so:

Hi Ray,
Please feel free to update this thread if you have any further questions.
