Dear Zoho Creator Team,

I'm writing to request a new field type for Zoho Creator forms: a Slider field. This functionality currently exists in Zoho Forms, and its integration into Zoho Creator would provide significant benefits for data collection and user experience.

Functionality of Slider Field in Zoho Forms:

As seen in Zoho Forms, the Slider field allows users to choose a number value on a scale by dragging a pointer. This offers several advantages:

Intuitive and Interactive: It provides a more engaging way for users to input numerical data compared to traditional text fields.

Enhanced User Experience: The visual scale makes it easier for users to select their desired value, improving form completion rates.

Precise Value Selection: Users can choose from a wider range of values within the defined minimum and maximum limits.

Benefits of Adding Slider Field to Zoho Creator:

Integrating the Slider field into Zoho Creator would offer these advantages:

Greater Data Collection Flexibility: Users can provide more nuanced data points on a numerical scale, enriching data analysis and insights.

Improved Form Design and User Experience: The inclusion of a Slider field can enhance the overall form design and user experience within Zoho Creator applications.

Consistency Across Zoho Suite: Bringing feature parity between Zoho Forms and Zoho Creator would improve workflow efficiency when working with both platforms.

Proposed Slider Field Properties:

Similar to Zoho Forms, the Zoho Creator Slider field could offer the following properties:

Initial Value: Set a default starting point for the slider.

Range: Define the minimum and maximum values users can select.

Unit of Measurement: Include units next to the minimum and maximum values (e.g., rating from 1 (Poor) to 5 (Excellent)).

Step Value: Determine the increment size for each step on the slider scale.

Step Values and Step Pointers: Show the defined increments (optional).

Minimum/Maximum Labels: Provide custom labels for the minimum and maximum values (optional).

Conclusion:

We believe the addition of a Slider field to Zoho Creator would be a valuable feature for many users. The ability to collect data through an intuitive slider scale would enhance data collection, improve user experience, and offer greater flexibility in form design.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
