Enable or disable ratings

You can allow users to rate assets by enabling ratings for the associated asset type. Enabling ratings for an asset type doesn't automatically enable ratings for its child asset types. You need to manually enable ratings for each child asset type.

For certain out-of-the-box asset types such as Data Set and Report, ratings are enabled by default, For the asset types you create, ratings are disabled.

Warning Ratings can't be disabled for an asset type if user ratings already exist for any assets of that asset type. To disable ratings then, you need to manually delete those ratings.
