# Rating

> Submit rating values for items.

The **Rating** component lets users rate items in your apps. They can tap and drag through the different values and the rating will be written to your [Data Source](/docs/essentials/data-sources).

## Adding and Setting up a Rating Component

#### Rating Arcade

##

In the [Layout Editor](/docs/getting-started/intro-to-layout), select the tab you want to edit.

Click on the plus (+) symbol in the [Components](/docs/essentials/components/) panel.

Find **Actions** in the menu and select **Rating**.

Select which column to store the users' ratings in the **Save to** field. The Rating component will write a simple number value to your data source. If you want ratings to be specific for each user then you can use [User-specific Columns](/docs/essentials/security-and-user-data/user-specific-columns).

Determine the **Max Rating** to accept. This ranges from 3 to 5.

## Ratings in Forms

The Rating component is especially useful in [Forms](/docs/use-cases/forms). You can collect the users' individual ratings for an item. Learn more about [Rollup Columns](/docs/automation/computed-columns/rollup-column) to then determine average ratings.
