Why are slider fields useful?
In all of these use cases, a slider is helpful because it allows users to explore a wide range of options quickly. For precise input, a slider can never beat a regular input field, but we can use a slider to nudge our customers to explore available options and, hence, aid them in making an informed decision.
When you want to allow a user to enter an approximate value in a specific range which control is most appropriate?
Use a slider only when the precise value won't matter to the user, but rather only the approximate range. Make sure that the users can select that range correctly without having to struggle too much to hit a precise value.
What is a slider in UX?
Slider is a control that allows users to select a specific value (or range of values). All too often users get the information of what the value is all about by reading the label on a slider. At the same time, it's possible to create a much better user experience by visualizing the data connected to the slider.
