importance rating

The first four scales were for quality ratings and the fifth was an importance rating.

Assign importance ratings for road segments, based on traffic volumes, road functional class, and community demand.

For individual tasks or for goals, an importance rating may be established, deadlines may be set, and priorities assigned.

When stated importance ratings are combined with a constant sum choice exercise (i.e., the unity of both stated and derived importance), the method answers not only what attributes are important, but how they are important.

Search engines such as Google rank search results based on the relevance to the search query and, importantly, an importance rating, such as PageRank, which is based in part on a link analysis of the web.
