General Settings

• Listing Type Title - Name of your listing type (Book, Movie, Hotel, ...).
• Comments & Ratings - 3 options are available:
  • Allow comments and ratings
  • Allow comments without ratings
  • Disable comments and ratings (useful for News and other listing types that don't require comments or ratings).

Rating Criteria

• Add unlimited number of criteria on which users will rate the listing in the review form. If you disabled ratings you don't need to enter anything here.
• Required - Uncheck if you want the criterion to be optional.
• Weight - Criteria weights for weighted average rating calculation. The total must add to 100, do not enter the % character. If left blank a simple average will be calculated.
• Tooltip - Hints for users to have a better idea how to rate in the review form.

Custom Fields

• Select all the Field Groups you want to connect to this listing type (both listing and review field groups can be selected)
