Get value of slider field

Function: Get value of slider field​

This action allows you to retrieve the numerical value currently selected on a "slider" component within your application's user interface. Once retrieved, this value is stored in a variable, making it available for use in other parts of your application, such as calculations, conditional logic, or displaying to the user.

Input​

  • UI element (Required): This is the specific slider component on your form or page from which you want to get the selected value. You must select a UI element that is specifically a "slider field."

Output​

  • Answer Variable Name (Text): This action returns the name of the variable where the slider's selected numerical value has been stored. By default, this variable is named SLIDER_FIELD_ANSWER. You can use this variable name in subsequent actions to access the numerical value chosen by the user on the slider.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Get value of slider field" action in your applications:

Example 1: Capturing Customer Satisfaction​

Imagine you have a customer feedback form with a slider asking users to rate their satisfaction from 1 to 10.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Select your "Satisfaction Rating Slider" component.
    • Answer Variable Name: CustomerSatisfactionScore
  • Result: The action successfully retrieves the numerical value from the "Satisfaction Rating Slider." A new variable named CustomerSatisfactionScore is created (or updated) in your application's memory, holding the number selected by the user (e.g., 8). The action's output is the text CustomerSatisfactionScore. You can then use this CustomerSatisfactionScore variable to save the rating to your database or trigger follow-up actions based on the score.

Example 2: Setting a Budget Allocation​

You're building an internal tool where managers can allocate a budget percentage for different departments using a slider.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Select the "Marketing Budget Slider" component.
    • Answer Variable Name: MarketingBudgetPercentage
  • Result: The action retrieves the percentage value from the "Marketing Budget Slider." A variable named MarketingBudgetPercentage is created, containing the chosen number (e.g., 35). The action's output is the text MarketingBudgetPercentage. This MarketingBudgetPercentage variable can then be used in calculations to determine the actual budget amount or to update a budget report.

Example 3: Adjusting Product Quantity in a Cart​

In an e-commerce application, a user might use a slider to quickly adjust the quantity of an item in their shopping cart.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Select the "Product Quantity Slider" component for a specific item.
    • Answer Variable Name: SelectedProductQuantity
  • Result: The action gets the number of items chosen from the "Product Quantity Slider." A variable named SelectedProductQuantity is created, holding the user's chosen quantity (e.g., 3). The action's output is the text SelectedProductQuantity. This SelectedProductQuantity variable can then be used to update the total price in the shopping cart or to check inventory levels.
