A star question is a rating question that allows users to rank attributes on a point scale represented with stars. You can use star question types if you want your patients to rank something such as their experience at your clinic. You can report the responses using Analytics.
You can score patient responses to individual star question types and produce totals. See Configuring custom scores in Qnaires.
