Rate Star Field

Add a custom Rate field type to score records with stars, either by one value or multiple criteria.

Overview

Ebla Rate adds a custom field type Rate in Entity Manager.

  • Use it on standard or custom entities.
  • Support one-option rating or multi-criteria rating.
  • Store the final score as a numeric value and criteria details as companion JSON data.
  • Apply visual color mapping and size options for different views.

Key Features

  • Single or Multi-Criteria Rating: Configure one result control or multiple criteria with an automatic average.
  • Flexible Scale: Set the rating scale with numStars (from 1 to 30).
  • Display Modes:
    • Standard: Criteria rows + result.
    • One Option: One simplified result control.
    • One Star (read mode): Compact read display.
  • Visual Controls:
    • Default star color.
    • Color map by score bucket.
    • Star width for detail and list.
  • Fast Edit: Optional inline save in read mode.
  • Optional Counter: Show or hide the numeric score text.

Star Rating

Configuration

After installation, configure the field from Administration > Entity Manager.

Field Parameters

  • Required: Prevent empty value when saving records.
  • Number of Stars (numStars): Rating scale limit (default 5, max 30).
  • Criteria: Criteria labels used in multi-criteria mode.
  • One Option: Hide criteria list and use one result control.
  • One Star: Show compact one-star output in read mode.
  • Fast Edit: Allow inline update from read mode.
  • Ignore Empty Criteria: Exclude zero/empty criteria from the average denominator.
  • Disable Rating Counter: Hide the (value) text.
  • Star Color: Default star color.
  • Color Map: Override colors for score buckets.
  • Show Full Details In List: Render full criteria view directly in list rows.

Field Parameters

Important Behavior Notes

  • One Star and Fast Edit are mutually exclusive in field-manager UI.
  • In multi-criteria mode, changing a criterion recalculates the final result.
  • If Ignore Empty Criteria is enabled, non-rated criteria are skipped in averaging.
  • In one-option mode, the user sets the final result directly.
