Rating

This field allows the developer to create a field to display the data previously added using stars (or any other image).

Attribute descriptions

Data Type

Define the field type to Rating.

Label

The Label option lets you define the title of a field. Example: If the database field name is “Stars”, You can display a different name for the user, like “Stars”.

Besides use a fixed text, the Label attribute allows the use of Langs to define the field title, allowing the internationalization of your application.

Subtitle

Define the subtitle of the field, below the ratings. Example: “Thank you for your feedback!”.

As in the Label, the subtitle attribute also allows the use of Langs for the internationalization of your application.

Amount of icons

It defines how many icons it will display in the field. The value set in this attribute must be according to the evaluation rules.

Use in Group by and Sums

Allows the field to be used instead of the value when the field is selected in the (static or dynamic) group by or in the totalization of the summary. To do this, just add the fields in the dynamic or static group by column to be able to visualize the grouping performed in the query.

Example of the Rating field in the summary.

In the summary, when hovering the mouse over the field, a small window detailing the ratings that were carried out both in each record and in total will be displayed, as shown in the image below.

Display absolute value

Allows the exact number of ratings that each star received to be displayed in the detailing window, next to the percentage, when summing up the summary.

With this flag turned off, the grouping will only display the voting percentage, leaving out the exact number of ratings.

In the case of the result of the ratings, this result is calculated through the weighted average (Sum/Total of Evaluations) as in the example below:

For example: in the image above, we have a total of 4 ratings carried out, where:

0 rating for 5 stars
2 ratings for 4 stars
0 rating for 3 stars
1 rating for 2 stars
1 rating for 1 star

Considering that the number of stars refers to the weight each one has, we have the following:

5 stars = 0 rating x 5 (weight) = 0
4 stars = 2 ratings x 4 (weight) = 8
3 stars = 0 rating x 3 (weight) = 0
2 stars = 1 rating x 2 (weight) = 2
1 star = 1 rating x 1 (weight) = 1

Sum = 11

We took the result of the sum and divided it by the total number of evaluations, which was 4.

Sum/Total of Evaluations = 11/4 = 2.75 ≈ 2.8.

As only 1 value after the comma will always be displayed in the detail window, rounding will occur upwards when the values after the comma are above the central value, and downwards when it is less than the central value.

Ex.: 2.75 ≈ 2.8.
