# Rating System
CMS kit provides a **rating** system to to add ratings feature to any kind of resource like blog posts, comments, etc. Here how the rating component looks like on a sample page:
![ratings](../../images/cmskit-module-ratings.png)
## Options
The rating system provides a mechanism to group ratings by entity types. For example, if you want to use the rating system for products, you need to define an entity type named `Product` and then add ratings under the defined entity type.
`CmsKitRatingOptions` can be configured in the domain layer, in the `ConfigureServices` method of your [module](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Module-Development-Basics). Example:
```csharp
Configure<CmsKitRatingOptions>(options =>
{
options.EntityTypes.Add(new RatingEntityTypeDefinition("Product"));
});
```
> If you're using the blog feature, the ABP framework defines an entity type for the blog feature automatically. You can easily override or remove the predefined entity types in `Configure` method like shown above.
`CmsKitRatingOptions` properties:
- `EntityTypes`: List of defined entity types(`RatingEntityTypeDefinition`) in the rating system.
`RatingEntityTypeDefinition` properties:
- `EntityType`: Name of the entity type.
## The Rating Widget
The ratings system provides a rating widget to allow users send ratings to resources in public websites. You can simply place the widget on a page like below.
```csharp
@await Component.InvokeAsync(typeof(RatingViewComponent), new
{
entityType = "Product",
entityId = "entityId"
})
```
`entityType` was explained in the previous section. `entityId` should be the unique id of the product, in this example. If you have a Product entity, you can use its Id here.
