## Overview

Rating Types define the response scale used for customer satisfaction surveys. Sales representatives, account managers, project managers, and quality control users use these types when reviewing the rating options available for customer feedback. Use this page when you need to locate, review, add, or export the rating type records used by Customer Satisfaction Surveys.

## Settings

Open **Configurations** > **ISOSettings** > **Rating Types** to access the ISO settings list for rating types.

The available list contains rating type records, including a type name and the rating values presented from a positive to a negative response. Use the available list and filter controls to verify that the required rating scale is available before it is used in a Customer Satisfaction Survey.

> **Note:** The available screen does not show detailed rating-type fields or save options. Use **New** only when you have the required rating type details and are authorised to maintain ISO settings.

## Workflow

1. Open **Configurations** > **ISOSettings** > **Rating Types**.

   Review the rating type records displayed in the ISO settings list. Use this list to identify the rating scale that best matches the survey you need to support.

2. **Need to find an existing rating type?** Enter a relevant term in **Search**, then select **Apply filter**.

   Use this decision when the list contains several rating types or when you need to confirm whether a scale already exists. Select **Cancel** if you do not want to apply the current filter criteria.

3. **Need to create a rating type?** Select **New** to begin creating a new record.

   Create a new rating type only when the required response scale is not already available in the list. Before creating a duplicate, search for existing records with similar type names and rating values.

4. **Need to export the available rating types?** Select **Export**.

   Use this option when you need a copy of the displayed rating type information for review, reporting, or coordination with the team responsible for Customer Satisfaction Surveys.

5. **Need to work with related survey records?** Select **Customer satisfaction survay** from the available workflow controls.

   This option opens the area associated with customer satisfaction surveys, where rating types are relevant to the survey response structure.

## Customer satisfaction survay

The **customer satisfaction survay** tab contains the Customer Satisfaction Survey area associated with rating types. Use it to move from the rating-type context to the related survey function when you need to review the survey records that use customer feedback ratings.

The available screen does not show a control that moves an individual rating type into or out of this tab. Review the rating types in ISO settings and use **Customer satisfaction survay** when you need to continue with the related survey activity.

> **Tip:** Keep rating values ordered consistently from the most positive response to the most negative response. This makes survey results easier to interpret across Accounts, projects, and QC reviews.

## Examples

A project manager is preparing to review customer feedback for a completed job and needs to confirm which rating scale is available for the Customer Satisfaction Survey.

1. Open **Configurations** > **ISOSettings** > **Rating Types**.

2. Enter a relevant word, such as `Fast` or `Excellent`, in **Search**, then select **Apply filter**.

   Review the matching rating type records and their available response values. Select **Cancel** if the filter is not needed.

3. Confirm that the appropriate scale is already listed. For example, select a scale that allows customers to rate service speed or overall service quality using clearly ordered responses.

4. If no suitable scale is available, select **New** to begin adding the required rating type. Avoid creating a new type when an existing type already provides the same rating range.

5. Select **Customer satisfaction survay** to continue to the related survey area after confirming the rating type.

## Tips

> **Note:** Search before selecting **New**. Similar rating types can lead to inconsistent Customer Satisfaction Survey results if different teams use different scales for the same purpose.

> **Tip:** Use **Export** before a quality review or management discussion when you need to share the currently displayed rating type information.

> **Warning:** Do not rely on a filtered list as the complete list of rating types. Select **Cancel** when you need to remove the current filter criteria and review all available records.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| A required rating type is not visible. | The list may be filtered, or the search term may be too specific. | Review **Search**, adjust or clear the criteria, and select **Apply filter** again. Use **Cancel** if you need to exit the current filter action. |
| Multiple similar rating types are displayed. | Existing scales may use similar type names or response values. | Review the listed rating values before selecting **New**. Use the existing type when it provides the required scale. |
| You need to share the rating type list with another team. | The information is only displayed in the ISO settings list. | Select **Export** to produce an exported copy of the displayed information. |
| You need to continue from rating types to survey activity. | Rating Types and Customer Satisfaction Surveys are accessed through related workflow controls. | Select **Customer satisfaction survay** to open the related survey area. |
