# Metadata ratings

Users can leave ratings on records to express their evaluation of the data. The overall rating is the average of all ratings for a given record. It helps users searching for metadata to better understand whether it is trustworthy.

For instance, a user can say a dataset is of good quality, or a particular attribute is not useful because it is usually empty.

The ratings feature can be accessed via the sidebar located to the right of the screen on any record.

The list of ratings from all users is displayed in chronological order, latest updated rating first. The following actions are available on ratings:

- View the overall rating of a given record.

- See a list of ratings from all users for a given record.

- Apply, modify or delete their own record ratings. The user can rate with a value between 1 and 5. Alongside the rating value, he can leave a justification comment. The overall rating of the record is updated accordingly and the list of all ratings is refreshed.
