Enable or disable ratings

You can enable and disable ratings via the asset type pages, in Settings.

Enabling ratings for a particular asset type is not inherited by children asset types. The feature has to be manually enabled for each child asset type.

By default, ratings are enabled for asset types Data Set and Report and their children asset types. Ratings are disabled, by default, for all other packaged asset types and any asset types you create.

Warning Ratings cannot be disabled for a specific asset type if user ratings exist for any assets of that asset type. In other words, all user ratings for all assets of a specific asset type must be manually deleted before ratings can be disabled for that asset type.
