How to add a feedback rating to a session/sponsor/speaker?

Adding the rating

You may wish to capture your participants' feedback on a session, a speaker, or a sponsor.

To do so, you can add a rating component to a speaker profile, a session, or a sponsor page:

1. Go to the module that corresponds to the content you want to add a rating for (sessions, speakers, sponsors), and open the Display template tab.
   
   
2. In the left side of the screen, under Components > Form elements, add the relevant form component to the display template. This can for example be a Rating scale or Slider component (and is what the participants will see and use to provide their feedback):
   
   
3. In the bottom part of the screen, in the Available new behaviors section, use the + buttons to add the following behaviors to the display template:
   Form + Model + Representation + Survey response generator + Manual submit  + Submit pop up:
   
   
   
4. Click on Save at the bottom right of the page, after adding the rating and the behaviors.
   
   
5. In the event, participants should now see the rating item in the page or profile you added it to:

Note: This approach can be used on any display template, using any type of form element components.
