Modifying the class names (column headers)

When you set the Question type to 'Ranking', you will get an empty table with three classes, called 'Class 1', 'Class 2' and 'Class 3'. To change these column headers, just click somewhere in the column, and then on the  button. You can also double-click on the column header. This will make a text field appear, where you can modify the name of this class (column).

Adding and removing classes

If you want to add a class (column), click in the column to the right of where you want to insert it. Then press the  button in the toolbar.

If you want to remove a class (column), click in the column itself and then on the  button.

To add questions, go to the first row and enter the questions in the 'Label' column.

If you want, you can indicate the preferential ranking, meaning the ranking that you hope to achieve by the end of the project (or any other period of time). For instance, in the example below, most people sell their produce immediately when it's harvested. This means that often they don't get a good price, because at harvest time there are a lot of producers offering their vegetables and so on at the same time, so prices are low. It would be better to sell them when there aren't many vegetables around, but that means you have to keep them in a warehouse or freezer. Another option to add value is to transform them into something that has more value (soup or sauce or canned vegetables...)

So when we ask the producers before the project starts what the most important source of income is, they may rank it as follows:

1. Selling of vegetables directly from the field/greenhouse
2. Selling of transformed produce
3. Selling of produce that has remained in the warehouse until prices are higher

What you hope to see in the end is that a certain percentage of producers have changed this order around to:

1. Selling of produce that has remained in the warehouse until prices are higher
2. Selling of vegetables directly from the field/greenhouse
3. Selling of transformed produce

To set the preferential ranking, just click on the drop-down list and select any of the values. You can also click on the cell and type the value. The minimum value is zero, the maximum value is equal to the number of classes (columns).

You can set the target in terms of how many beneficiaries out of the total group (population) will achieve this target. Click on the  button, or double-click on the target cell in the table to open the following dialog window:

You can set out a preferential ranking that you would like to achieve by the end of the project, and indicate per year how your beneficiaries will evolve towards that target, as in the example below:
