Ratings

The Rating feature allows members to share their opinion on the quality or usefulness of select content types. Rating is done through a five-star system, with five stars being the best. Ratings provides quick feedback about content to the publisher and allows people to quickly gauge whether or not they want to read published content based on other people’s ratings.

A contents information panel contains its rating.
