Using Ratings

The Rating component is used standalone or in conjunction with other Communities features.  This component allows signed-in community members to express their opinions by rating content.

To add a Rating component to a page in author mode,  locate the component

• Communities / Rating

and drag it into place on a page, such as a position relative to the feature for members to rate.

For necessary information, visit Communities Components Basics.

When the required client-side libraries are included, this is how the Rating component will appear.

Select the placed Rating component to access and select the Configure icon which opens the edit dialog.

Under the Texts & Labels tab you specify the internal identifier for the Rating.

• Tally Name
  (Required) A simple name for the Rating which uniquely identifies this instance. Must be a valid node name for the repository.

Only one rating per member is allowed.  The member may change their rating at any time.

Anonymous posting of a rating is not supported.  Site visitors must register (become a member) and sign in to participate. 

More information may be found on the Rating Essentials page for developers.
