Hi,
A new entity called "Feedback" has been introduced in Dynamics CRM 2016 Update 1. The purpose of adding this entity is to provide the feedback and rating for particular entity in CRM. This is useful for the organizations for tracking the feedback for the product they are selling, or support/services that they are providing to the customers. This Feedback and Rating in Dynamics CRM 2016 helps to improve the product’s quality or customer experience with your organization.
Let us see how we can use this entity.
For using this users must have Read, Create and Update privileges for this entity.
How to Enable and Use?
A new Option "Feedback" is shown on the Entity Information under General tab. Enable it for the Entities where you wanted to use.
You can enable feedback on entities to allow customers to write feedback for any entity record, or rate the entity records within a range of allowed ratings.
By default, feedback is enabled for the Knowledge Article entity and the rollup field is added to Knowledge Article entity.
Once you enable Feedback on the entity, you will that in the Related Entites.
Title: A short title for the Feedback, specifying parameter for response.
Regarding: The Feedback created for the entity.
Source: Here you can select two options, Internal or Portal. For example, if you are capturing the Feedback from within the CRM i.e. through phone or email then you can select Source as Internal. In addition, you can add more options to this field as per your requirement.
Comments: Comments for the Feedback being created.
Rating: A number to specify how useful the product is.
Minimum Rating and Maximum Rating: Define the minimum and maximum rating numbers for the rating scale. For example, in our case, we are using the rating scale as 1-10, then minimum rating as 1 and maximum rating as 10 can be provided.
Normalized Rating: The value for this field is auto calculated, as this is the calculated field. The calculation is done based on the below formula.
Normalized Rating = (Rating – Minimum Rating)/ (Maximum Rating – Minimum Rating)
However, you can change the calculation for the Normalized Rating by changing the formula for this field from Customizations.
Created By (Contact): It is the customer contact on behalf of whom you are creating a feedback.
Closed By: This field gets automatically populated with the user who deactivates the Feedback record.
Closed On: This field gets auto populated with the date and time when the user deactivates the Feedback record.
In case, if we have multiple ratings against one particular record, with use of simple rollup field the ratings can be consolidated.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you please explain what is the intent of Normalized rating field and its formula. The rollup field on the knowledge article entity is calculated as Avg of Normalized rating which is wrong.
Each Rating record can have it's own Minimum Rating and Maximum Rating values. Thus, if a customer rates a product as "4 out of 5" (which implies a Minimum Rating of 0 and a Maximum Rating of 5)
DeleteNormalized Rating is a calculated field. The default formula is:
(Rating - Minimum Rating)/(Maximum Rating - Minimum Rating)
The result will be a rating out of 10. Thus "4 out of 5" would be normalized as an 8.
The average of normalized ratings is the correct way to roll up Feedback. Consider three Feedback records with Normalized Ratings of 3, 5 and 7. The average rating would be 5.
It is really a great work and the way in which you are sharing the knowledge is excellent.Thanks for your informative article
