4. Click **Required** if the item is required for the survey.
5. Optionally, change the default value at which the slider will display in the **Default Value** field, either by entering a new default value, or using the up and down arrows.
6. To add a tick, or category on the slider, click **Add Tick**.
7. Add a **Value** (see the example above), and optionally add a description for the value in the **Display** field.
8. Repeat steps as needed for each tick to include on the slider.
9. To use a custom step interval, change the **Step** field value accordingly either by entering a new value, or using the up or down arrows on the **Step** field.
10. To display the tick values above each **Display** category, select the **Show Slider Value** check box. The example below shows only the text descriptions, not the values for each interval.
