To enable sliders for project (signal) parameter estimation, you’ll first need to create “Ranking” fields for each parameter:
Step 1: Create Ranking Fields
1. Open Field Configuration:
Access the Field Configuration menu.
Click to add a new field.
3. Select Field Type:
Choose “Ranking” as the field type.
4. Set the Scale Options:
Add the options that will be used as a scale on the slider.
5. Save the Field:
Save the newly created field.
Repeat these steps for each parameter that you want the community to estimate.
Step 2: Add Ranking Fields to a Signal Report
Once you’ve created the necessary fields, follow these steps to add them to a signal report:
1. Choose a View:
Select the view that will be used for project parameter estimation.
2. Enter Edit Mode:
Click on the “Edit” menu item.
3. Open Report Layout:
Navigate to the “Report layout” section.
4. Add Ranking Fields to the Layout:
Find the tiles with the “Ranking” fields in the list on the left and drag them to the desired position in the report layout on the right.
5. Save the Layout:
Save the changes to the layout.
Using the Sliders
The sliders will now be displayed in the selected position within the report.
– Grey Slider Handle:
Indicates that the user hasn’t yet estimated the parameter. Once a parameter is estimated, the user can reset their estimation by clicking the “Reset” button in the corner.
User estimations are anonymous and visible only to the user. Estimations made by others do not influence an individual’s estimates. Estimations can be displayed across multiple views and will retain their values.
Resetting Estimations as an Administrator
1. Open Field Configuration:
Go to the Field Configuration menu.
2. Find the Ranking Field:
Locate the “Ranking” field that you wish to reset.
3. Click “Reset”:
Click the “Reset” button to clear all estimations.
