    This tab is for Rating Parameters/multiset rating creation which can be assigned later to those posts/pages/comments where user has selected Rating Parameters mode enabled.

    Analytics & Sharing Configuration tab has got some advance features which are:

* Select Theme: You may select default rating images from predefined / existing rating images which also shows you a preview what a rating widget looks like.

FAQ

I have installed the plugin however the rating is still not visible on my content?

After you enable the plugin next step would be to allow rating on your post/pages/comments. To enable them go to settings/Rating Settings.
There you would see a list of all entities existing in the system (Post/Page/Revision/Comments).
In front of every post type there is a checkbox “Enable”, check it and save your changes, rating will start appearing on the selected content post type.

How to enable Multiset Rating Factors Mode?

Goto settings/Rating Setting on Rating Configuration Tab in the row of post type where you want to enable factors mode select “Factors Mode” checkbox and save your changes.

After enabling Factors Mode where do I attach or use factors for posts?

Once you enabled factors mode for an post type then the next stip would be to assign factors and doing so on page settings/Rating Settings at Rating Configuration Tab under entities section you would see a link Assign Factors (Multisets) to Rating the content.

What is Demographic Mode under Advanced Settings?

Demographic mode is for showing rating details region/country wise. To show demographic details you must choose the widget “Rating Details”.
