Rating

Configure star or numeric rating questions

The Rating element collects feedback on a scale, such as stars (e.g. 1–5), hearts, emojis, or other visual icons. Use it when you want a quick, visual scale instead of NPS or single choice.

When to use

  • Satisfaction, quality, or likelihood ratings
  • When you want a quick, visual scale instead of NPS or single choice

Viewing responses

Rating responses appear in the Response Summary for your form. You can view them as charts, filter by time period or user segment, and track trends over time.

If you add the question from the builder as CSAT (Rating), it is still a Rating question in the form and in reporting—the name only helps you pick a satisfaction-oriented block from the Scale group.
