Forced Rank Voting

Force rank voting is an option for the first voting criterion (column 1) only. The following rules apply:

· Column 1 must be set to use Pull-down Entry

· The first descriptor must have a value of zero (0)

· Aside from the first description, all descriptions must start with a number, in sequence 1 through n (e.g., 1 = 1st Place, 2 = 2nd Place, ..., n = nth Place)

· No other columns may use radio buttons or pull-downs aside from Column 1

· The number of descriptor choices (n) should generally equal the number of items to be ranked.

· Column 1 allows for up to 52 pull-down entry choices
