Rating Based Text
Rating Text is text based on the rating that the respondent attained based on their score. Rating Text is available at three levels:
- Assessment (from the rating form)
- Subsection (from the subsection rating form)
- Segmentation (from the segmentation rating form)
Assessment Rating Text

| the Rating text from the rating table for the assessment | Rating Text Assessment | {Rating.RatingText} |
| the Rating Name | Rating Name | {Rating.Rating} |
| the Rating Image, from the rating table. | Rating Image | {Rating.RatingImage} |
The above merge strings are available with these parameters:

e.g. {Rating.RatingText[SegmentationNo=1]} would produce the rating text from the rating table, based on the score for Segmentation 1)
SubSection Rating Text
Much of the body of most feedback reports are generally built using the Rating Subsection merge string. It displays the Rating Subsection text, followed by the report text for the selected answers. A bullet list for the answer report text can be achieved by formatting a bullet list for the merge string. The engine will iterate through the sections adding new bullet points for the answer text but the Subsection Rating Text will be left-aligned.
e.g. {RatingSubsection.RatingText[SectionNo=2]} would produce the text from all the subsections and answer for Section Two (grouped by Subsection). Below is an example of the text for one of the subsections.
- This Text comes from the Subsection Rating. It is based on the rating the respondent scored for the subsection.
- The Text is Answer Report Text, based on the individual answers the respondent selected. Formatting in this text is subordinate to the formating of the merge string. For example, if the merge string is bullet-pointed, then any bullet points in the text will be further indented.
