Customising the ‘Create Entry’ Page for Entrants

In Nucleus you have the flexibility to personalise the ‘Create Entry’ page for your awards by displaying messages based on whether your award is closed, open, or launching soon. Additionally, you can choose to hide or display your awards/projects in your preferred order. Here’s how you can set it up:

How to set an Award to be Visible on the ‘Create Entry’ Page

Messages will be displayed only if the award is set to be visible on the Entrant’s dashboard. To switch this on, please do as follows:

  1. Log into the Admin Interface
  2. Go to Actions>Awards
  3. Choose the relevant award and click on Actions>Edit
  4. Scroll down to the Options section
  5. Set Yes to the Show on ‘Create New Entry’ page question
  6. Click Save & Close

Note – If you don’t want to display your award on the ‘Create Entry’ page, you can choose to keep it hidden, for example, during testing or when it’s not open yet.

Setting up Messages for Awards

Once your award is visible on the Entrant page, you can set up messages to be displayed. This can be done from the Awards Settings page and can be edited at any time. The message fields are optional, and if left blank, no messages will be displayed. Here’s how you can set it up:

  1. Log into the Admin Interface
  2. Go to Actions>Awards
  3. Choose the relevant award and click on Actions>Edit
  4. Scroll down to the Messages section
  5. Edit as required:
  • Entry not yet open message – displayed on the ‘Create Entry’ page to Entrants before the project opens. The award will be shown, but entrants won’t be able to click on it.
  • Entry open message – displayed on the ‘Create Entry’ page to Entrants whilst the project is open.
  • Entry closed message – displayed on the ‘Create Entry’ page to Entrants after the project has closed. The message will be dependent on the date you previously set in the ‘Show closed message until’ field on the page where you choose the main opening/closing dates for your project. It will appear as greyed out for Users.

Ordering Projects on the ‘Create Entry’ Page

If you have more than one award/project, you can also determine the order in which awards are listed when the entrant is creating a new entry. This can be set on a per-award basis from the Award Settings page. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Log into the Admin Interface
  2. Go to Actions>Awards
  3. Choose the relevant award and click on Actions>Edit
  4. To the Order Number question input the position you wish to display your award in.
    eg. If you set this to 0, it will stay at the top of the page
  5. Click Save & Close
