The rating system enables you (and your co-workers) to rate assets from 1 to 5. Rating values are searchable, so when you want to find your best assets, it's easy to do so. Each Cumulus catalog provides a standard Rating field (field name and type: Rating) but more fields of this type can be added. For example you can have one separate field for each member of your team.

Ratings are displayed by star icons. A rating field can be displayed in Details View, Thumbnail View, Info View and in the Information window. The rating value for a record can be set in the Information window via clicking or by a menu item via the Metadata menu. The menu item employs the first field of type Rating from the current view. (The order refers to the field list of the view settings in the Preferences dialog.)

In the Information window, clicking on a star in the rating row sets the rating value immediately to the selected value. Clicking close left of the first star removes the value.

When printing rated records, the rating marks are printed as displayed (if the Rating field is included in the fields to be printed).
