Is it possible to hide the Rating scale on a Form

Is it possible to hide the rating scale on a performance form. In other word only the free text session must be available? @Performance @ratingscale.

Hi Adele

If you are looking to disable the ratings from the goal/competency sections and have only the comment box enabled then you can uncheck the option that says " Include the ability to rate". Alternatively, you can also define "none" permissions for the item, subject and unofficial user rating fields under field permissions for the relevant section. This can be done from the front end itself.

If you are looking to hide the "?" icon which displays the rating scale description upon clicking, then you must define "none" permissions for the "rating-scale-link" field under field permissions for the relevant section. This can be done only from the back end and the code that you need to place is as under.

Let me know if this helps.

Adeeb

<field-permission type="none">
<role-name>*</role-name>
<field refid="rating-scale-label-link"/>
<route-step stepid="*"/>
</field-permission>

Thank you Adeeb, this was very helpful. Where can I find the " Include the ability to rate" to uncheck?

Kind regards

Adele

Hi Adele

The checkbox can be found here.

Manage Templates >> Open the relevant PM Form >> Click on the Goal/Competency section >> Click on "Show Advance Options" >> The first option under this is "Include the ability to rate"

Hope this helps.

Thank Adeeb, found it. You have been a great help, THANK YOU. I couldn't find a KBA on this. The only KBA I could find was how to hide the Help. As you have explained this can only be done in the back end.

Best regards

Adele
