Hello,

I would like to add a question to my form, which includes a visual analog  
scale.

For example, the question label would be something like "Please rate your  
pain from 1 (low) to 10 (high)". Then ideally, there would be an image of a  
scale, ranging from 1-10, that the user could click to select a value on  
the scale as their response.

Is something like this possible in CommCare?

Thanks,  
Robin

Hi Robin,

I think the closest you could get to this at the moment would be to compose  
this scale from your own images on a grid view select question  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Advanced+CommCare+Android+Formatting#AdvancedCommCareAndroidFormatting-GridView](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Advanced+CommCare+Android+Formatting#AdvancedCommCareAndroidFormatting-GridView).  
You can see what this would look like at the ODK website  
[https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/#select\_prompts](https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/#select_prompts).

Best,  
Will
