Ranking

Last reviewed: 31 August 2026

Use Ranking when you want participants to put every option in order.

A complete order is required

Participants must rank every option exactly once.

Set it up

Add 2 to 10 different options.

What participants can do

Participants put all the options in order. Each option must appear exactly once.

How scoring works

First place gets as many points as there are options. Each following place gets one point fewer. For example, with four options, the scores are 4, 3, 2 and 1.

The percentage shows how close an option came to its highest possible score. It is not the percentage of participants who voted for that option.

PDF and CSV

PDF shows the options in ranked order with their scores and percentages of the highest possible score.

CSV keeps each participant’s submitted order.
