The inline rating widget

Users can use the inline rating widget to view ratings that have been applied to a resource.

Users can click a twisty arrow to open and close the widget. When a user clicks the twisty, the widget opens. It works as described in the following:

• The rating widget shows ratings for the resource from which the user opened the widget.

• Its title that describes which ratings are shown.

• The inline rating widget shows one of the following sets of ratings, depending on the setting of the rating scope parameter for the widget instance. For more information about this parameter see Inline rating widget parameter reference.
