A slider form cell displays a continuous range of values along a track.

With defined minimum & maximum values, a user can use their finger to slide the handle along the slider’s track in order to select a value between the set minimum and maximum values. A slider form cell is typically found in create and filter modals.

A slider form cell is best used when selecting a precise value that does not matter. If the exact value does matter, it is recommended to use a picker control.

Anatomy

C. Hint Text (optional)

D. Track

Avoid using long text for minimum and maximum values as they can shorten the track.

Behavior and Interaction

A user can also just tap on the value input field to open up the keyboard and enter an exact value between the minimum and maximum values.
