Learn how to configure the Rating component in Praxsuite forms to collect user feedback using stars, icons, and scoring systems. Customize rating scales, visual styles, and validation rules while storing results directly in your associated table.

The Rating component allows you to collect quick evaluations from users using visual icons such as stars. It is commonly used in feedback forms, satisfaction surveys, quality reviews, and internal evaluation workflows.

Unlike text inputs, the Rating component stores a numeric value, which makes it ideal for analytics, reporting, and dashboards.

Basic configuration

Associated Table

Selects the table where the form submission will be stored.

Associated Column

Defines the table column where the rating value will be saved.

Rating fields typically connect to columns with numeric data types such as:

• number

• decimal

This ensures the rating value can be used in analytics and calculations.

Description

Optional helper text displayed below the rating field. This can explain what the user is evaluating.

Example:

“Rate your experience with our service.”

Font

Sets the typography used for the component within the form.

Rating selector configuration

Selector type

Defines the icon style used for the rating system.

Example:

• Stars

Different selector styles may be available depending on configuration.

Quantity of stars

Defines the maximum rating scale.

• Minimum: 3

• Maximum: 10

A 5-star scale is the most commonly used format.

Default rating

Defines the initial rating value when the form loads.

The default is typically 0, meaning the user has not selected a rating yet.

Visual configuration

Size

Controls the visual size of the rating icons.

Examples may include:

• Small

• Medium

• Large

Predefined color

Defines the color used for the rating icons.

Example:

• Yellow

Advanced options

Allow halves

Allows users to select half values in the rating.

Example:

3.5
4.5
2.5

This enables more precise feedback.

Show numbers on icons

Displays numeric values under each icon to help users understand the scale.

Example:

1   2   3   4   5
★   ★   ★   ★   ★
