   If you don't specify a Label, the Field name displays on the form instead.

7. Enter your scale in the Possible ratings section. You can use numbers (1-5, for example) or words. For the conference example above, we ask the respondent to choose one of five ratings:

   • Very satisfied

   • Satisfied

   • Neither satisfied nor unsatisfied

   • Unsatisfied

   • Very unsatisfied

   To add additional rating options, select Add new item. To remove a rating, select the Click to remove button.

11. To show the rating set only to editors of submissions – and hide it from respondents – select Only visible to editors.

12. When you're finished setting up the question, select Save to return to the Edit form screen.
