How to Use a Bamboo Rating Column in a List or Library

After Rating Column is added to the desired list or library, you can begin rating content right away.

When no ratings have been submitted yet, the rating control has no value.

If a particular user has not submitted a rating yet but other ratings have been submitted, the rating control is blank, but a summary of the rating statistics is displayed next to the rating control.

True/False Rating Statistics: The rating statistics for the True/False rating control are displayed as the current overall rating percent. The percent is calculated by subtracting the percent of users who selected the False control (red Thumbs Down, red X, etc.) from the percent of users who selected the True control (green Thumbs Up, green Checkmark, etc.) This percent can be negative (displayed in red) or positive (displayed in green). hw41i-2010-using7.jpg
