# Ticks

Along the track, the ticks of the Slider indicate the values which result from each incremented predefined step.

The Slider provides the following options for configuring its ticks:

* [Placement](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/inputs/slider/ticks#placement)
* [Titles](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/inputs/slider/ticks#titles)
* [Width](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/inputs/slider/ticks#width)

## Placement

To control the position of the ticks, use the [`tickPlacement`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#tickplacement) property. You can set the ticks to appear along the upper or bottom side of a horizontal Slider, on the left or right side of a vertical Slider, or on both sides of the track. It is also possible to configure them not to occur at all.

## Titles

The [`title`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#title) property defines the titles of the ticks. By default, the title of each tick corresponds to its value. To customize the title, use a callback function.

## Width

The [`fixedTickWidth`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#fixedtickwidth) property sets the width between each two ticks along the track. Its value has to be set in pixels. When the property is enabled, the Slider gets resized to fit all ticks with the corresponding width. If `fixedTickWidth` is not set, the component adjusts the size of the ticks so that the sum matches the actual size of the component.
