Filter and sort based on Bamboo Rating columns. Quickly view the highest rated or most popular items by filtering, grouping, and sorting based on the current average rating or the number of ratings submitted.
Allow Anonymous or Authenticated Ratings
Define if users must be authenticated (only one rating per user, but can be updated anytime) or anonymous (users can rate many times).
Allow Individual Item Ratings to be Reset
Uploaded a new version of a document or modified a site page? Need a new set of rating data? With Bamboo Rating, define which users have the ability to reset individual item ratings.
