# How to Set the Rating Scale for a Roadmap

# How to Set the Rating Scale for a Roadmap

## Overview
The rating scale sets how many points are available when a Roadmap level is assessed. A larger scale gives assessors finer gradations; a smaller scale keeps assessment quick and simple. The scale is set per Roadmap, so different Roadmaps can use different scales.

## How to set the rating scale
1. Go to **Roadmaps** and open the Roadmap you want to change.
2. In the top nav, click the **Settings** (cog) icon to open the **Roadmap Settings** panel.
3. Find the **Rating Scale** field and set the number using the stepper (the **−** and **+** controls) or by typing a value.

4. The value saves automatically. Close the panel when you are done.

## Things to keep in mind
* The rating scale must be between **3** and **10**.
* New Roadmaps start with a rating scale of **5** by default.
* The scale saves automatically as you change it — there is no separate save button.

## FAQs
**What is the smallest and largest scale I can use?**
The rating scale can be set anywhere from 3 to 10.

**What scale does a new Roadmap start with?**
New Roadmaps default to a rating scale of 5 until you change it.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers** and **Content Managers** can set the rating scale (governed by the "update" permission on the Roadmap subject). **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot.
