Field with user options that adds to 100

Hi , what field type or widget would you suggest for the following use. I need a user to allocate a proportion of their time amongst 3 or 4 options. For example, what % of your leisure time would you allocate to x,y, z? I need the respondet to be able to enter reading, fishing etc as they like and a percentage against each. it can be visual (like a slider)  or numerical ? I saw one recently I thought would work but can no longer find it? 

thank you

I think the Grading widget might be what you're looking for:

This will allow you to ask your users to allocate a percentage (from 100) to options that you specify.

Please try it out and let us know if you have other questions or concerns.

Cheers!

Yes! thats the one I was loking at !

I really need the reposndent to be able to type their own categoires in place of A, B,C (eg reading, cooking etc)  and then be able to give it a grade out of 100? Or should I be using a different field/widget? Tnanks

Hi,

I think you can use the Calculation widget in this case.

Here is my sample form http://form.jotform.me/form/40817833231451?

Hope this help. Inform us if this is not a viable solution for you.

Thanks!

Thanks - I considered that one , but can I put any validation on the calculation widget ? the grading widget allows you to put a maximum - so they cant go over 100 for example.

thanks

Hi,

Unfortunatelly, there is a known glitch in the calculation field, that it does not have validation when used in the Condition.

I reported a similar case here http://www.jotform.com/answers/351152

Because of the no validation, you could not use numerical logic like maximum, greater than, min, etc..

This is the reason I setup the condition in my sample form http://form.jotform.me/form/40817833231451 in such way.
As it was the only way I could force the form user to maxed the rating total to 100 only. =)

Thanks!

thanks - I see you put it as a featrue request, but just putting the instruction in text is not really validation is it? thanks for trying though

Hi,

I am sorry if I had it confusing. I was not referring to the instructions text on this form http://form.jotform.me/form/40817833231451 as the validation.

In the ticket I submitted on the other thread, I sprecified the calculation field instead as the one that needs validation.

Hope this clarifies the matter.

Thanks.
