## Common Uses

* **Product review management**: Record product ratings, then filter for high-rated products.
* **Service feedback**: Collect customer satisfaction in support records and review service quality.
* **Employee performance review**: Score several capability areas in an HR review table.
* **Rating plus comment**: Use with a **Long Text** field to capture both a score and written feedback.

## Notes

* Rating values can be referenced by **Formula** fields to calculate averages or totals.
* Before setting the maximum value, align the team on what each score means.
* If you lower the maximum value later, such as changing 10 to 5, existing scores above the new limit may not display correctly. Check historical data before changing it.
