Overview

Rate several items on a star scale in one grid — rows are the items, each rated with the same number of stars. It's a rating grid with a friendlier, consumer-familiar control.

Step-by-step

  1. Add the question — click + Question and choose Star Grid. The Star Grid editor with rows and star count

  2. Add the Rows (items to rate) — one row per thing being rated (e.g. "Sales", "Support", "Engineering").

  3. Set the Number of Stars — typically 5. Every row uses the same star scale, which keeps rows comparable.

  4. Choose the Display — Table (all statements) for desktop or Carousel (one statement at a time) for mobile.

  5. Consider dynamic rows — like other grids, you can Build rows from a previous question so respondents only star-rate the items they selected earlier.

Tips

Tip: Stars imply quality/satisfaction, so use a star grid for "how good was each?" — not for agreement or frequency, where numbers or words fit the construct better.
