Rating poll with numbers

I would like to propose an improvement to Slido’s rating options used during client workshops. In our sessions, especially with C‑level audiences, we often need participants to assign a numerical impact score to risks on a scale from 1 to 10.

Previously, when we used Mentimeter, we were able to collect these inputs in a much more executive, clear, and numerical format, which helped drive faster and more accurate decision‑making.

However, in Slido, the only rating options currently available are stars and emojis. These formats are not suitable for executive workshops, as they:

  • Do not look professional in a C-level environment.
  • Make it difficult for participants to count the correct number of stars every time.
  • Slow down the flow of the workshop.

This feature is urgently needed. If Slido does not offer a numerical rating scale (1–10), we may need to temporarily revert to the free Mentimeter account to ensure the quality of our workshops.

I would appreciate guidance on whether there is an existing workaround in Slido or if this feature could be prioritized in future updates.

Hi ​@luana.drumond 

Thanks for your detailed suggestion. If I understand correctly, having our rating poll offer a numerical scale option would suit your needs. Is that correct? 

 

In the meantime, the best workaround that comes to mind is to use a multiple choice poll that has options from 1-10. It might take an extra minute to set up, entering each value as an option, but after setting it up once, you’d have it saved in your templates/my previous polls. That would allow you to quickly reuse the format whenever you need it. 

Thanks again for your idea!

Hello Joel, thank you for your quick response. 
Having our rating poll offer a numerical scale option would suit my needs.
A multiple choice poll that has options from 1-10 does’t work because the output does not bring the average answer of the public.
In addition, I would like to leave images from the benchmark from mentimeter. 
It is not a rating format, is that module that you put if you strongly agree or disagree with something. But you can change this titles for anything and I changed for low and high impact. The first image is how the public sees the question and responds and the second is the output, showing the public average.
 

 

Have a nice day!
Kind regards,
Luana
