#### Rating

A very good use case for WriteBackExtreme is allowing users to rate certain dashboards using our star method. The Rating option presents a stars where users can click on each star which will then write back the score to your table, for example. Configure how many stars will be shown, size and spacing.

#### Slider

Convert the number to a slider, this would be ideal for users to use if a precise range isn’t necessary and an approximate would suffice.

#### Progress bar

As it says on the tin, users can update their dashboards using the progress bar to share their projects progress. A clear indication of how well your projects are doing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/writebackextreme/features/tableau-extension/configuration/schemas/field-formatting/number.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
