Autogenerating images with ratings is a great way to add a fun and engaging element to your forms. As an addition to the existing star rating options, we are excited to introduce a new feature that allows you to use emojis as ratings in your forms.

## Rating with emojis

Emoji rating are a fun way to present a rating system in your forms. Instead of using traditional star ratings, you can now use emojis to represent different levels of satisfaction.

To use emoji ratings in your templates, choose **Rating** component option and then change the rating element from customizable star to emoji.

You can choose from a variety of emojis to represent different levels of satisfaction, such as happy faces, sad faces, or any other emoji that fits your brand or theme.

> You can also customize the emoji max rating by setting up the number of emojis you want to use and also adjust the size and style of the emojis to fit your design.

## Set rating during image generation

When you use the emoji rating component, you can set the rating during image generation. This means that you can automatically generate images with the selected emoji rating, making it easy to create visually appealing content for your forms.

For example, when we want to generate multiple food images with different with different spice levels, we can set the rating to 1-3 and use the chili emoji to represent the spice level. 

For that, I will use **Spreadsheet** plugin to generate a list of images based on my food card template. Here is how the data looks like:

> I set rating value for each food item (from 1 to 3) in the `rating.value` column.

Then, I go to **Plugins** and select **Spreadsheet**. I choose the **Food Card** template, upload the spreadsheet, and start image generation.

As you can see, the generated images now include the emoji rating based on the values set in the spreadsheet. This allows you to create a consistent and visually appealing representation of food items with their corresponding spice levels.

## Use cases

Emoji ratings can be used in various scenarios, such as:
- **Product reviews**: ⭐⭐⭐ Use emoji ratings to show customer satisfaction with your products

Introducing: Emoji Rating


We are excited to announce a new update to RenderForm that will make it easier to manage your templates.
In this blog post, we will introduce you to the new template tags feature and show you how to use it to streamline your workflow.

## How to use tags

Tags are a powerful way to organize your templates and make them easier to find. You can use tags to categorize your templates by type, purpose, or any other criteria that makes sense for your workflow. For example, you could use tags like "onboarding," "feedback," or "marketing" to group your templates.

You can also use tags to filter your templates in the template library. This makes it easy to find the templates you need without having to scroll through a long list of options.

## Assigning tags to templates

To add tags to your templates, simply go to the template editor and click on the **Tags** field in the right sidebar. Click on the field and start typing to add a new tag or choose from existing tags.
Save your changes, and the tags will be applied to your template.
