Instructions
Set up a Jotform account by signing up to Jotform with your Google Account (The one you use to manage your YouTube Channel) by going to www.jotform.com.
Once you’re in Jotform, click the button ‘Create Form’ then click ‘Start from Scratch’. Click ‘classic form’, not ‘card form’.
Change the form name from ‘form’ to ‘{Your YouTube Channel Username} Lift Character Report’.
On the left-hand side, click ‘Add Form Element’, hit ‘Widgets’ and type in ‘Slider’ in the search bar.
Drag ‘Sliders with Calculated Result’ onto the form field. A sidebar will pop up to the right. Click directly on the element first & replace ‘Sliders with calculated result’ with your desired title. Delete all of the contents in the ‘Configuration’ field and follow the next set of instructions.
In the ‘Configuration’ box, the first line of each slider represents the name of the slider, in this example, the name is ‘Fixtures’. You can have as many sliders as you want in the same element by following the same format as pictured to the left and keeping the minimum, maximum and default values consistent.
Indent each field definition under the name by inserting a ‘space’ after hitting ‘Enter’ on your keyboard. The first field definition is ‘min’, second field definition is ‘max’ & third field definition is ‘default’. In this example, you can see that ‘min = 0’, ‘max = 5’ & ‘default = 3’.
Hit ‘Ctrl + a’ (‘Cmd + a’ if you’re using a Mac computer) & select ‘Ctrl + c’ to copy & paste the sliders & hit ‘Enter’ each time. Each category has its own slider so every unindented line change the name of the slider from ‘Fixtures’ to the category you want to give it.
Once you have all your sliders, head down to where it says ‘Calculation Formula’. In the field, it will say ‘(pow(#1, #2) + #3) / #4’. Erase it! Instead, assign percentage values to each category or “slider”. For example, the first slider is worth 10%, second slider is worth 15% & third slider is worth 75%. Make sure the sum of the percentage values adds up to 100%, always. Follow this format for the calculation formula. This example assumes you have 3 sliders:
((10 / 100) * #1) + ((15 / 100) * #2) + ((75 / 100) * #3)
General Formula: ((Percentage Value / 100) * #1) + ((Percentage Value / 100) * #2) + ((Percentage Value / 100) * #3) + ((Percentage Value / 100) * #ID). The ID goes in descending order: “1 → 2 → 3 → 4”.
Note: The percentage values add weights & distinction to each slider to amplify or reduce the effect on the final score.
Result Text: Change the field from ‘The price is ##result## USD’ to ‘Score: ##result##’.
Result Precision: If your scale ranges from:
0-9: 1 decimal field
10 or higher: 0 decimal fields
Note: If you ever need to edit something later, click on the element on the form & hover over the wand. Click on ‘Widget Settings’ (on the wand) to change the properties of the widget.
Voila! Your lift character report is now ready to be published!
