Similar to the scale block, the icon rating block is well suited to rate basically anything in a user-friendly and manageable way. Heyflow offers you to choose between a variety of icons, according to your needs.

After clicking on a building block, you’ll find the Content section on the right. This is where you add and edit the block’s main elements.

Use the label to make your request or control the user's selection. Labels help users understand what’s being asked, and they’re important for accessibility, especially when using screen readers or other assistive technologies. Add more labels if needed.

Select how many options you want to display to represent the user rating. You can also change the name of each option, which will be reflected in your responses.

After clicking on a building block, you’ll find the Settings section on the right. This is where you can customize the block’s options, appearance, and behavior to tailor it perfectly to your flow.

Control key settings for the block, including making values sensitive so they aren’t stored in our database and setting the block as required, making it mandatory for users to select an option before proceeding.

Decide whether you want to show tooltips. A tooltip is an element displayed as an informational text box when hovering over an item. This usual indicated the amount that is being hovered over. Also decide whether you want to display a label above your rating scale.

Select the amount of options that are preselected by default and decide whether you want to implement a navigation after clicking on the element.

You can change the default icon and replace it with an icon of your choice. Alternatively you can remove it entirely. If you decide to use an icon, you can pick a colour next.

Set the block’s visibility to show only on mobile, desktop, or hide it completely. Additionally, you can select a background color for the block.

Control the block’s layout by adjusting its width (S, M, L, or maximum) and setting the block's padding from the top, bottom, left, and right.

System Labels define how your data is stored and organized, while Variables let you reference and display that data dynamically throughout your flow. You can set a label for the whole block to keep your data structured and easy to use.

After clicking on a building block, you’ll find the Design section on the right. You can quickly apply a preset style tailored to that block type. Also, customize colors, fonts, and spacing to match your flow.

When you apply a design to one block type, it automatically updates all blocks of that type across your flow. This keeps your design consistent, clean, and easy to maintain without styling each block manually.
