/Linear scale field

Linear scale field

Numeric scale 1–10 — finer-grained than star rating.

What it does#

The Linear scale field is a horizontal numeric scale, usually 1 to 10. It's the right pick when you want more granularity than five stars but don't need the NPS-specific colouring.

Settings#

  • Required — must pick a value before submit.
  • Minimum — left endpoint of the scale.
  • Maximum — right endpoint of the scale.
  • Endpoint labels — e.g. "Hate it" → "Love it".

vs. NPS score#

NPS score is a Linear scale pre-configured for 0–10 with the Detractors / Passives / Promoters colour bands. Use NPS when you explicitly want to compute Net Promoter Score; use Linear scale for anything else.

  • Star rating — 5-point scale rendered as stars.
  • NPS score — 0–10 with built-in NPS colouring.
  • Number — when you want a typed number, not a picked one.
