Capture User Ratings and Reviews for the LabVIEW Tools Network

[RDR]

The best way to differentiate products on the LabVIEW Tools Network is based upon feedback from customers.  To capture this information, partner product listings contain a tab for Ratings & Reviews as shown below:

What we've not seen in a Tools Network product to date is any direction from the product to submit a review.  This is something many of you are probably familiar with when using third-party applications on your computers, mobile phones, or even following an Amazon.com purchase.  Why not have a similar experience for the Tools Network?  Now you can. 

To facilitate linking your product to a Ratings and Reviews entry on the LabVIEW Tools Network we've created a subVI (saved for LabVIEW 2010) you can drop into any existing LabVIEW code (attached below):

The default behavior is to prompt the user with a pop-up dialog after executing 10 times to ask the user to review your product.

• Selecting 'Rate now' will direct the customer to the Ratings and Reviews tab of the configured product page and never prompt the customer again.
• Clicking 'Ask me later' will wait another 10 executions (configurable using the 'Number of Times to Wait' input) and prompt the customer again
• The 'No, thanks' option will never prompt the customer again

This example can be dropped into your toolkits and applications as-is, customized to modify the text, etc.  It is up to you!
