A ranking, repeated in waves
A group ranking you run again later, each round a wave of one series, so you can see what moved.
Steps
- Choose Ranking with Template, and set Respondent(s) to Group.

- Type the Overall Question and add the Options, then press Set up Session.

- On the manage page, press Make Longitudinal: the session is now Wave 1.

- Invite people with Invite or the Participant Code, and let the wave run.

- When it is time for the next round, press New Wave. The copy starts closed: change what you need, then reopen it with Status.

- Open Group Results on a wave: it compares the waves, each option's rank and how far it moved.

Good to know
- Options are matched from wave to wave, so keep them: one added later reads New, one taken out reads Dropped.
- A wave with too few responses shows no movement.
