Survey adding text options for all values of a rating scale

Question

When creating a survey you can create a rating scale. Be default you can set the following.

1. Strongly Disagree
3. Neither Agree nor Disagree
5. Strongly Agree

Is it possible to set the two options?

1. Strongly Disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neither Agree nor Disagree
4. Agree
5. Strongly Agree

Answer 1

Instead of relying on the rating scale, you could simply create a multiple choice question with the ratings you desire to use.

Answer 2

Custom rating scale can be easier do using SP Designer. We can make custom new page using SP Designer and add some javascript.

Answer 3

You can use client JavaScript code to dynamically update the UI within the page.

Use SharePoint Designer to update the NewForm-, DispForm-, EditForm- and Summary-ASPX-pages with custom JavaScript code.

Add the following code within the content tag with contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderMain".

Code for NewForm.aspx, DispForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx:

<script type="text/javascript">
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i=0; i<tables.length; i++)
{
    if (tables[i].summary == 'Rating Scale Question')
    {
        var trs = tables[i].getElementsByTagName('tr'); 
        var tds = trs[0].getElementsByTagName('td'); 
        tds[2].colSpan = 1;
        tds[2].innerHTML = 'your range text';
        tds[3].colSpan = 1;
        tds[3].innerHTML = your range text';
        tds[4].colSpan = 1;
        tds[4].innerHTML = your range text';
        tds[5].colSpan = 1;
        tds[5].innerHTML = your range text'; 
    }
}
</script>

Code for Summary.aspx:

<script type="text/javascript">
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i=0; i<tables.length; i++)
{
    if (tables[i].className == 'ms-surveyVBarT')
    {
        tables[i].deleteRow(0);
        var row = tables[i].insertRow(0);
        var cell0 = row.insertCell(0);
        var cell1 = row.insertCell(1);
        var cell2 = row.insertCell(2);
        var cell3 = row.insertCell(3);
        cell0.innerHTML = your range text';
        cell1.innerHTML = your range text';
        cell2.innerHTML = your range text';
        cell3.innerHTML = your range text';
    } 
}
