How to Add and Set Up the Knob Widget on Your Form

The Knob Widget is a fun and interactive way for users to input numerical values on your form. It lets respondents simply turn a dial to select a number, making data entry more engaging and intuitive than typing in a value. Whether you’re collecting ratings, setting quantities, or measuring preferences, this widget adds a sleek, hands-on element to your form.

Here are a few ways to use it:

• Collect Ratings or Scores — Instead of a plain number field, let users “dial in” their rating. Perfect for feedback forms, surveys, or performance assessments.
• Fine-Tune Quantities or Percentages — Use it for things like budgeting, project estimates, or progress tracking. Users can easily adjust values with a smooth, tactile interface.
• Interactive Forms for Learning or Games — If your form includes quizzes, training exercises, or interactive tools, the knob adds a playful and engaging element that keeps users involved.
• Visualize Choices Clearly —The circular design makes it easy to see at a glance what value has been selected. It’s especially handy when you want input to feel precise yet intuitive.
