About Sequence Content
The Sequence content type allows users to rank a list of options in order of their preference or priority.
Users can reorder items in two ways:
Drag and drop: The primary method where users drag items to reorder them
Accessible reorder: An alternative method designed for AAA accessibility, which bypasses the need for a user to drag and drop. This method allows users to select items, click next, and then use the up/down arrows to arrange the sequence.
This content type is particularly useful for collecting prioritization data where traditional rating scales may be clunky or insufficient for collecting user preferences.
How to use it
To use this content type, simply:
In the Content tab in Cogniss Creator, navigate to the Activity, then Topic where you want to add your content block.
Click the Create new content block button in the top right of your screen. This will open the menu to configure your content block.
Assign a Data Label using the data label field. As a reminder, this is an internal identifier primarily seen in data exports
In the Type dropdown, select SEQUENCE
Next, give your content block a question or prompt in the user-facing label field. This is the text that the user will see in your app above the Sequence block. You should add your.
If you wish to make your question optional, simply untick the required check box. Questions are marked as required by default.
