Creating a Question
The Rating question consists of a bar made up of Rating buttons. You can specify the label on earch button – in the example above, the labels are 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Hovering over a button will display a configurable tooltip.
An information button is displayed to the left of the Rating bar. When clicked, it will display the label, tooltip, and a description (set by the author), for each button on the Rating bar. The colors of the button labels in the information box can be changed.

- Tooltip: The input from this field will be displayed when the cursor hovers over a Rating.
- Color: This refers to the color of the label when it appears in the information box beside the Rating bar. You can pick colors from the color library, enter a specific hex code, and change the opacity.
