Capture user ratings for new product feature requests.


Use Rating Values in Formula Fields

Rating field values can be used in calculations within the Formula fields.

Continuing from the above Hiring example, you can create an interview score that adds the value from the Position Fit and Cultural Fit, then multiply by the Recommendation Strength to generate a numeric Interview Score in a Formula Field that ranges from 0 to 100 according to the calculation:
